Assuming that we're trying to end racist gestures in sports, the actions by Ukrainian hockey officials are barely acceptable. But maybe a lot better than we would have seen several years ago. It's kind of a non-starter discussion. No one will defend the player's actions or say the UHL did all it could or should. And there should be little doubt that if something like that happened in the NHL, the punishment would be SEVERE. Not sure where we go from here, especially on the topic of ending racism in the world.

We should be nicer to new people. It was easy enough to miss the last few words of a long thread title. @Never NEVER Give-up I apologize.

Yes it was.

Ukrainian Hockey League for those curious.

I can't.

He who? The poster didn't give up though. And the poster is smart. The answer will be found in places like this much more quickly than on some website. You people.

SABRES WATERING HOLE TO RESTRICT ALCOHOL TO SMALL BACK ROOM; UPTIGHT PATRONS HAD COMPLAINED ABOUT 'THE DRINKING'

Someone's living in his own mental mansion it seems. Not everything's about you. I happen to know Paul has come to regret the whole affair. Get over yourself.

WIELAND ADMITS HE REGRETS CREATING TARO T — 'POMPOUS' AND 'INCORRIGIBLE'

Cutting through your usual BS, at this moment — everyone over 65; everyone between 18 and 64 with an underlying condition (not just those who are immunocompromised); and everyone working in an occupation that has high-risk exposure to Covid are recommended to receive a booster. That's a huge swath of the American population. The occupational recommendation is said to encompass 60 million Americans, including grocery store workers. Underlying conditions include hypertension and high BMI, among dozens of other common ailments. Care to count those folks up? You can quibble about the language ("almost wholly endorse"), but, as they say, it's close enough for government work.

Maybe. I don't have a link.

I always thought the reaction to Doug coming out was insincere. Vogl thought the same. I have a feeling he won't be missed. Maybe Doug Allen's Gambit was that his people would rise up.

Hey! NS. Here ya go.

The CDC advisory panel almost wholly endorsed boosters. It stopped short in one vote (9-6, I think) of recommending boosters for vulnerable workers. Which is the vote the CDC director overruled. But you don't care about the facts. You probably have a reliable source that says otherwise.

I'll be annoyed by Rick's pronunciation. And Dan's inevitable R2D2. "IN FRONT! R2D2. And the Sabres are within striking distance at 4-1!"

I'm afraid I know the answer to this question. I'm in market, so I wouldn't be able to get ESPN+ for cheap on Hulu, right? And that policy exists why?

Disaster? Agreed. A man who thinks only "at-risk" people should get vaccinated, harkening back to the early days of the pandemic when there was a notion that at-risk people should stay in their bedrooms so the beautiful, healthy people can live their lives in freedom. It could never have worked then, and vaccinating only the "at-risk" can't work now. Not vaccinating enough got us Delta. It could get us something much worse. But Doug wants his freedom. How self-centered and selfish. Consider who the at-risk are. There's your answer. You'd think Doug would care about the poor, the old, the infirm, the people of color. What a hypocrite.

I've proposed several times that it would be a nice nod to an international game that non-NA national anthems (NNANAs) be played from time to time in place of the Canadian anthem (Latvian anthem for Zemgus, etc.). (I'm assuming there's no way the league would allow the time needed for a third anthem, but that might not be a good assumption, as there are all kinds of presentations that delay the start of games.) MULE MUFFINS!

The thread's not about Doug. It's about Doug's decision.

Why? Let's enjoy it. This thread's OK for obvious reasons. It's a gift from God. Literally.

When I came to, I wrote a thank you letter to the Wuhan I.O.V.

His next step isn't elite.

You're on a roll today!
