Can the Sabres be far behind? 🤮 Ugh, to me this truly is too far in terms of bending over backwards for minority populations. It's honestly just sad what the world is coming to but this isn't a political thread so I wont go any further. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've never figured out how one can go too far when it comes to being courteous. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Being courteous doesn't extend to bending over backwards in order to merely speak with a stranger at a grocery store or being scolded by a stranger for somehow offending them by calling a group of people "guys." That's all. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's all. Is this something that happens frequently to you? And by bending over backwards do you mean taking a second or two to remind yourself to do something that isn't habitual for you? Like when your mother-in-law expects you to take off your hat when you're at her dinner table? Or when your new wife wants you to put down the toilet seat?

Frequent no, but remember courtesy works both ways. That is all, end of discussion. What is God's name is happening in the COL vs ARI game though? 6 goals in under 6 minutes between both teams!

That's all. I’d say that’s reasonable actually. Although I would always try my best to call anyone by the pronouns they wish to be used, I don’t think I’ll be asking everyone that I interact with what their pronouns are at the start of a conversation. Is that what the tweet was implying that everyone should do? It kind of seems like it, no? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Broken Ankles Posted April 1, 2021 Report Share Posted April 1, 2021 15 hours ago, Thorny said: lol any other player and everything the announcers say/their entire tone is completely different. That's the definition of an attempt to injure headshot. The league punishes the result and not the act though, and it's McD, so nothing will come of it. Good insight. Of course they would not consider a suspension. $5k is nothing to him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Claude Balls Posted April 1, 2021 Report Share Posted April 1, 2021 Golden Knights Chandler Stephenson suspended 3 games for this dirty elbow. Yet McDavid has to only pay $5,000 for going out of his way to elbow a player in the head. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bjornfot better be okay, we need him coming back in the Eichel trade. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scottysabres Posted April 2, 2021 Report Share Posted April 2, 2021 I almost feel bad today. I've spent my Good Friday verbally abusing Leafs fans in the Friedman thread on HF. As I said, I "almost" feel bad. What a good Friday this is 🙂 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can't read the tweet in any other way except we're now responsible for using the right pronouns as a matter of respect. That means, from the team's side, their announcers should not say, "He's got a breakaway!" unless the correct pronoun has been determined. We'll get there. I feel like there are bigger fish to fry at the moment. Gay people can still be fired or denied housing in some U.S. states. Transgender or transsexual people surely have even fewer protections.
