the entire season(as well as baseball)will have an asterisk.
So what sort of BLM proest is planned to ruin this for me?
Wait, what am I missing? I can’t locate when the Sabres play...
Do a search under Black Lives Matter NHL.
Summary—Professional hockey hates white people.
The bad guys _scored_.
I predict this just will not happen.
Yeah, yeah...And the Bills will win the Super Bowl...
Hockey in August.
My kids played hockey all year long. Roller hockey in the summer. So I’m ok with it.
The ice is out at all of the local Lakes, Rivers and Swamps.
..Drop the puck!
Blood and ice smell the same, be it February or August. :)
Go Stars! Just thinking about hockey will cool me off in this Texas heat.
LET”S GO, FLYERS!!!
Phila. should be ashamed. Only city that doesn’t play the Anthem before a game. Boo phila.
First I’ve heard of that.
