It just doesn't feel right to be going on with business as usual, paying attention to hockey, with what is going on in the world. But I need a distraction and it isn't like there is anything I can do about world events.

But it doesn't FEEL right. :laugh:

I did try to look up some. Think I read somewhere there is some in the KHL. I wonder how much world politics affects a dressing room?
This will be an interesting dynamic in some dressing rooms (if the issue at hand wasn't so very sad). The brotherhood of a dressing room needs to be united to compete with an "us against them" mentality. I expect the Russian players to say nothing at all, rather than attempt to justify the Russian political world view.

I also wonder how some fans are going to respond. I would personally boycott any team who puts a Russian player on the ice who condones the actions of Russia.

Yup the best course for any Russian player would be to keep their mouths shut but the reporters will dig and someone will say something they shouldn't.
Reporters should stay away from asking these questions. Yes, what’s going on is serious right now but who cares what a bunch hockey players have to say about it.

Team's PR will make it very clear to not attempt any political questions. Thank God Don Cherry isn't still on to go off about that, lol. Atleast his kids can edit that out on their podcast.

That would work in Wpg. New York? I don't think so.

I can't imagine what Cherry would do. Well I can imagine. :laugh: But I'm glad it won't happen.

Russian players for the most part will publicly support Putin it's the way it has to be because back home Putin's cronies know everything about these players and accidents do happen

Meanwhile, PLD continues to fade away into the sunset. Is he really all that, or does ScheifMe just make him look like a 1C? Add in Roslovic for all his warts being a better option than anything we've got in our bottom 6 and this trade makes me want to drive Chevy to the levee when the levee ain't dry.
Fade away to the sunset?

You're really grabbing at straws here.

And Laine scores again. Now 11 game point streak.
Awesome he finally remembered how to do his one trick!

NO!

Once reporters feel they should stay away from asking certain questions you're on a slippery downward slope that ends at the bottom with Donald Trump.
Yes I agree but the same questions should be asked to both parties?
What I find funny is ... why is it that you can attack one side your posts are okay but darn if you attack the other side you posts get deleted and you are suspended.
Enjoy the wars, high gas prices and high inflation ... the globalists love it when a plans comes together.
