FriedgeHNIC Part of me feels like the nhl has already missed the boat on this and this just looks like making a statement after the fact, but part of me says better late than never. Also it sounds like the NBA is postponing one more night of games so it can still be in solidarity

FriedgeHNIC The criticism of the 'do nothing' NHL was too much? They felt shame?

FriedgeHNIC Ridiculous

FriedgeHNIC Come back next year maybe 2022. Too woke, even in 2020.

FriedgeHNIC White guilt huh? Not me. That’s it for hockey for me. I will not be lectured.

FriedgeHNIC Stupid. Just ridiculous.

FriedgeHNIC This is simply a matter of the NHL feeling shamed in to doing what the other leagues have done. All being done for optics. Can't wait for America to wake up and vote Trump out so they can actually have a leader, regardless of what party.

FriedgeHNIC All this will do is create more division! Sports has nothing to do with the violence that is taking place in the States!

FriedgeHNIC

FriedgeHNIC Then I will happily not watch another game this year!

FriedgeHNIC If this happens nhl is stupid. This guy disobeyed police orders and was shot. His own mom apologized to police and to Trump. If you wanted to postpone anything it should have been when that 5 year old boy was shot execution style while riding his bike by a black man

FriedgeHNIC

FriedgeHNIC Until BLM makes actual, concentrated requests for what needs to change it is all pointless. There is no “goal” to these protests. 1. Police need retraining on de-escalation techniques ie: UK police force. 2. New review processes across the country for death by police. Etc.

FriedgeHNIC Just cancel the season of all sports and they can run for political office

FriedgeHNIC This is fucking stupid!!

FriedgeHNIC As black man myself I don’t agree with this. It’s clearly just pandering. What the NBA players did was commendable however it isn’t a obligation for every league to follow

FriedgeHNIC NHL will look like idiots if they cancel Id have more respect for them if they continued playing & followed there way of doing things then having them cancel tonight as a reaction for not having acted when it was time to do so Last Night in support of there NBA brothers 👬

FriedgeHNIC Are going to postpone games for this poor poor murderer as well ?

FriedgeHNIC Postponement of 1 day brings what else than a little attention? It will evaporate in a few days or a week...it really changes 0 it’s just case of being able to show NHL are no worse than NBA or MLB. Strike might be meaningful but that takes determination, courage & sacrifice.

FriedgeHNIC They did not stop when that black guy last week shot a 5 year old white kid. This is getting ridiculous.

FriedgeHNIC What a JOKE. Next week it will be something else in the USA. Sick of it. Americans get out and vote to make change 😡Sorry but it is frustrating when you live in Canada and we stop everything for USA and then have tariffs slapped in our face😡

FriedgeHNIC Spineless. Blake admitted to having a knife on his floor board, confirmed by DCI and DOJ. With his likely known history to police, his actions were an immediate threat to their lives in that situation and they responded as trained. How is race relevant to that situation?! Brutal

FriedgeHNIC Too little too late.

FriedgeHNIC Vancouver should be leading the charge to shut down the season? I haven't heard from any Canucks...embarrassing

FriedgeHNIC Like they have a choice? Being pushed into this nonsense only to realize NBA starts back up tomorrow.

FriedgeHNIC Says thank you ...

FriedgeHNIC play the damn games, basektball said they're coming back. Not playing won't prove a damn thing

FriedgeHNIC If they do this i have seen my last nhl game. My Season tickets will be cancelled.

FriedgeHNIC So when they don’t play tonight, but play again Friday or Saturday, what will have been solved in those 2 or so days?

FriedgeHNIC 🙃

FriedgeHNIC This is so dumb.

FriedgeHNIC On you nhl

FriedgeHNIC Congrats ur ending racism by cancelling games

FriedgeHNIC So the players still wanted to play but the league needs to save face so they will cancel the games and put out some trash statement about thoughts and prayers....

FriedgeHNIC I'm genuinely curious, what is the BLM endgame here? if all sports are cancelled until things change, what exactly is this change you want ? And don't give me some generic vague answer, i mean what EXACTLY do you want ?

FriedgeHNIC NOOOOOO

FriedgeHNIC Does anyone know how the 14 year old girl that Saint Jacob sexually assaulted is doing?

There are more important things right now blm Avalanche DallasStars Spec You realize BLM is a terrorist group. They are not protesters. MLK was a protester who went thru a lot more racism than being shot cause you were a criminal. Avalanche DallasStars Spec All those keyboard warriors who rag on hockey players for 'not doing the bare minimum' by not playing games, need to make damned sure they're doing more than the bare minimum themselves. If 'words aren't enough', get your asses off twitter and into the streets. hypocrisy
