Tocchet is a big MAGA guy. I remember when he was first hired, his twitter was full of Trump supporter stuff, anti-vax, and was following OF girls and liking porn posts.

I don’t get this selective outrage. I’ll go on record and say I don’t like Tocchet and never have. You either shit on Miller, Hanifin, Tocchet, Garland, all of them, or none of them.
I’ll shit on all of them, thanks.
 
He’s going there for sure. He’s super close with his brothers and life is too short. Why not play together?

So what if we offer his brother (Luke), $11.5M as an RFA this off-season?

Worth it to try and solve the problem?

It's like when Scott Niedermayer was a UFA and everyone thought he would want to come home...he made his decision based on ANA having his brother Rob. ANA overpaid to get + retain Rob (got him two years before Scott hit UFA).
 
I guess if you totally ignore who the president is and what that president has done and said then it’s an overreaction.
nah some of you are just way too invested in hockey players’ political beliefs. seen some really unhinged responses online today while trying to act like they have any moral high ground to stand on.
 
I live in America, and I'm so f***ing disgusted by what's going on here. Winning this game would mean so f***ing much to me. They treat Canadian sovereignty with such apathy. I thought for a while of just naturalizing here, but at this point, it might be time to move back, even if the economic opportunities are higher in the US than in Canada.

I know this isn't the place for politics but I need to vent. I'm starting to despise the people here.

I mean considering the political beliefs aligns fully with death to Canada. Yeah of course people are pissed.

Basically you are asking why any of us would care that a hockey player that used to be on my team supports the president that wants to annex Canada.

The better question is, as a canadian, why the f*** would you not care?

I've literally had to stop reading online comments because of what's been happening in the last month. If we don't win this game I may need to hold off doing so for a year just for the sake of my mental health.

And I'm not even very patriotic.
 
f*** jt miller

sam bennett is coming back to canada after this tournament - the canucks should have a shot there

those are the only hockey thoughts i have. if brad marchand scores the winner i will get his jersey

Having spent almost 20 years living in various states I can totally relate.

Most of my personal experience living here has been absolutely fantastic, and I'm in a very privileged position when it comes my career and work aspirations so I've been shielded from a lot of negativity.

However, I'm not gonna deny that the last few years have been testing my capacity to stay here in the states. I've never wanted to move back home so badly, and seems like a matter of when, not if.
 
**** Jim Benning for taking the easy way out of negotiations and settling on 6 years.

hey, we had to make sure there was cap room for oliver ekman-larsson

Did Hughes really want to go and the Canucks said no? Or was a mutual decision? That makes a huge difference. I can totally see things from Allvin's POV, especially with what happened to McAvoy.

i can imagine tocchet in the team canada dressing room: if anyone so much as touches quinn hughes, you and i are going have a chat in the back alley after the game and only one of us will be getting on his flight tomorrow.

speaking of coach,

Tocchet is a big MAGA guy. I remember when he was first hired, his twitter was full of Trump supporter stuff, anti-vax, and was following OF girls and liking porn posts.

oof, that’s a door i wish hadn’t been opened for me. he was one of my favourite players of all time.

we uprooted and left after the 2016 election. it wasn’t the only reason, but it gave us the push we needed.

it felt like such a gigantically heavy decision at the time. we had green cards, owned a place, it was the only place our kid had evern known, i had an incredibly stable career that was thrown completely into turmoil for years after. but i’ll never forget when we passed through immigration at YVR and handed them the inventory of our stuff that was arriving separately in a moving van. everyone in the room got up from whatever they were doing and cheered.

apparently, the staff at immigration had been doing this for months for everyone moving back to canada.
 
Yep, they do.

Anyone thinking that even 10% of the Canadian team don't like Trump is out to lunch. It's not going to play a role in how they perform. The Tkachuks' antics probably will, though.
I don't believe any member of the Canadian team want their country to become the 51st state. Especially the bubble players like Jarvis and Sanheim. Zero chance they would make the USA Olympic roster.

I feel you're raining on my arbitrary getting to hate some dude for being an idiot parade.

Miller is the definition of respect and leadership.

After all, he only cares about himself, quit on his teammates, blames others rather than taking responsibility, so yeah. American Leadership and a lot of respect for himself.

yee haw, someone's feisty these days (me)
 


Really disappointing stuff from Subban. Nice takedown from Aliu.

All the annex Canada/51st State/Governor shit just makes me sick to my stomach. And the fact that their moron President keeps spouting it is vile. That so many of the pundits and media surrounding this game seem way to scared to acknowledge that it was the reason for the anthem booing, and the elevated stakes, is telling, too.

Was that Subban’s only comment or has he said something else too?
 
Someone should call out Gretzky next for selling his soul to M*G*A.

As far as I’m concerned he’s no longer the great one in my books. I’ll give that title to Lemieux. The best player in the game is the one who comes back from cancer and chemo and radiation treatments and puts up a Hart season and arguably one of the best seasonal performances of all time.
