Uhm no. Some have their beliefs and whether you or anyone like it or not they are entitled to their opinions.

edit: And I am not religious at all.

As a gay man, I say enthusiastically and without remorse: F*ck him.

(Full disclosure: I am willing to mean that literally if he's down 🤷 )

Strange decision to waive Reimer so soon - but surely it's better than having the three head goalie monster debacle?

Levi did look great albeit for just one game. I don't like having two young guys but UPL-Levi are undoubtedly the best tandem on merit.

So long as he's not claimed I'm perfectly fine with Reimer as an organisational #3. I don't think it's a given that he's claimed.

I'm OK with the decision if he clears.

If he gets claimed and Sandstrom is the new organizational third....

:confused:

Been saying that Reimer would be in Rochester since the day we signed him :dunno:

If he does get claimed I assume Housecat gets an NHL contract.

And just like that we are entitled to think whatever we want about people who hold these opinions. So yes, f*** homophobes.

I don't know the background around Reimer, but if he doesn't want to wear a politicized jersey, that is his right. People shouldn't squawk when someone refuses the military one. I want my team to be open to the gay community and welcoming but there is a lot of nuance in the discussion beyond just being pro-gay marriage, Some people have strong opinions on the transgender issue and it's possible to be pro gay rights and not agree with everything the current flag represents.

Christian man holds Christian beliefs, news at 11. Should be a non-issue but hey, this probably isn't the forum to delve that deep into this.

All that said, surprised they waived him, but this team makes no sense so...

I believe NHL rosters get finalized today. It makes sense to send him through when a lot of other players are going through at the same time.
