The NHL announced its four Stanley Cup Playoff games scheduled for Thursday and Friday have been postponed after the players on all eight remaining teams decided not to play as a form of protest against systemic racism and police brutality.
"After much discussion, NHL players believe that the best course of action would be to take a step back and not play tonight's and tomorrow's games as scheduled," the NHL and NHL Players' Association said in a statement. "The NHL supports the players' decision and will reschedule those four games beginning Saturday and adjust the remainder of the Second Round schedule accordingly."

It is almost a race who can see which league can virtue signal the most. They think we will all come back. Bye to all.

Stupid reasoning. I’m not a big sports fan, but those I know who are big fans like to watch sports mainly to forget about other, more serious news. What about those people, who would like the action filled distraction?

Good Bye NHL. There is no safe space for sports fans.
Get woke go broke.
May they all end up shoveling dog food into 50 pound bags at a Purina Plant someplace.

Im done. Ive been a hockey fan for 40 years. This BS started with the loser dumba kneeling. NBC telecasts had some of this crap, but at the beginning, so I tuned in late. Saw some propaganda on the big screen in the background. A bit of this crap on their website, barely tolerable. Now their jumping in with both skates. F-em. Im done.

By watching the games and buying tickets or merchandise, you tacitly endorse their behavior. Their product is not that important in the grand scheme of things. Certainly not more important than my priciples.

The NHL might be as dumb as NASCAR or maybe worse. I hope every professional sport shuts down for the year. The only sport I watch is the UFC. I use to watch NFL football every Sunday, Monday and Thursday if they had a game scheduled. I started to lose interest about 10 years ago. The Kaperlick nonsense turned me off completely and I haven't watched a game since. I use to enjoy taking my nephews to Yankee Stadium to watch some games. Those days are long gone. You couldn't give me free tickets to go see the Patriots,Giants, Jets, Knicks, Red Sox or Yankees. I will take my money and my nephews elsewhere. Probably go on a few more charter boat trips to fish for stripers and bluefish. We have a better time on the boat anyway.

I am devastated to hear this. I watched Hockey Night in Canada on the Canadian channel 9 for years. Watch programming from same station due to Detroit being across from Windsor Ontario and loved Don Cherry. I am sickened by what the NHL has done.

Hockey was dead to me during the first Blackhawks Playoff game this year. When "We Skate for Black Lives" was on the big arena display and shown on TV, I shut the TV off and haven't watched a single minute of the NHL since.
Just like Football and Baseball, the NHL is DEAD to me. Fin.

Even before this NHL postponement, I hadn't looked at second of the NBA or NHL since their restarts, and hardly looked at MLB (I'll listen to the Phillies in my car if they are playing while I'm driving). I've been too busy following the REAL news. Hardly looked at NASCAR either since their restart (I did watch the final third of the Brickyard 500, and was at work during the Indy 500 [I know that's not NASCAR] and hardly thought about that race).

Think of it as paying protection money. The BLM leadership is saying to the NHL, "say, you have a nice little tournament there. Be a shame if something happened to it . . ."
They couldn't make much of a ruckus in Edmonton, but they sure could in Toronto.
From a purely selfish perspective, my Av's are a little beat up and could use a couple of days for players to heal.

You can keep me on a ping list for hockey, Airborne ... but please don't ping me to any threads about the NHL anymore.
Thanks for all your dedication and diligence over the years!

Not long after they resumed the season (a week or two ago?) I tuned into a game (can’t recall which one) and saw “Black Likes Matter”.I changed the channel.
