Don't want him. I live in Barrie and watch the Colts all the time. He's a giveaway machine. Doesn't have a super high hockey IQ in my opinion.

Sad for the young guy, but happy to see the kindness of the Flyers.

Ya, again, I see where you are coming from, but I am just not sure that I would find that all that easy to explain when you have 40 mic's in front of you, bright lights, and all the rest. Just trying to imagine myself in that situation and I know that when I am put on the spot sometimes in life I often never produce the answers I wish I had. I can see it when you are having a beer or coffee with a friend who is asking you that question because it can be a discussion as you say. But in front of a ton of reporters I am just not sure how much room for discussion there would be. i.e. I think its more of a behind closed doors type of thing.

Oh I see. I misunderstood you. Was it even an option for the players to do the warmup in their regular jerseys?

Ya, I see your point. If someone willingly chooses to wear it by all means go ahead. I don't agree with the suggestion that they are "cowarding" out of it if they choose not to, seeing as how when they do it they knew the social crap storm they are going to bring down on their heads. That to me takes some stones.

No, on that you are correct. If they want to wear it, no problem with me. Just stop demonizing the guys who don't. There has to be grace given both ways.

You can't force someone to wear something they don't support. Bottom line. The players are there to play hockey, that's what they get paid to do, not support social justice causes. They can do that on their own time and that's the way it should be.

Canucks Army had a pretty detailed article about this. To be honest it seems like there is no chance. https://canucksarmy.com/news/faber-ideal-vancouver-canucks-lineup-young-stars-tournament-penticton

Quite thankful for this. Mostly because checking CDC was part of my daily routine since 2000 or so! I was never all that much into posting, but I did enjoy the information that I could come across.
