Wtf is this world coming to when the term "all lives matter" is seen as racist?
- systemtool

I dont see it as racist but out of the group of 4 the only one not Canadian Remigio Pereira(American)decides to change the Canadian Anthem to fit his agenda,if you will.What would happen if one of us did that in the middle of US anthem.

Of course there is nothing racist in the phrase All Lives Matter on its own. The context though is that it is used to de-value the Black Lives Matter movement which is trying to bring attention to the fact that black lives don't seem to matter much in the US.

In my 99 years of being a Leafs fan, I've never seen a bad a player as Jake Gardiner.



We need to trade him like, yesterday.
- Arctic_AARDVARK

C'mon now, there was Aki Berg.. In all seriousness though, Gardiner has all the skill in the world, he's just far too soft and lacks heart to be a d-man. Watching another season of him skating around with one hand on his stick in his own end rather then actually try to break plays up and I'll even want to trade him in EA sports.. lol

Back to Vesey, I hope we don't sign him. What does it say about a player if he didn't sign with the team that drafted him, OR the rebuilding club his rights were sent to? Do you want a guy like that in the locker room? Red bill on it his career closer resembles Frattin, or what was his name again (?) then even Bozak.

Understood

Because of all of the violence that follows them around. Also, Democrat bag man, George Soros has given BLM $40 million dollars, so it's all about politics. I don't see them protesting the black on black crime that permeates places like Chicago, where over 3,000 black lives have been taken by black criminals, during the Obama administration's inception.

You're nothing if not predictable Prince

Yeah I'm not having this convo with you lol.

But they speak about it all the time. It's about systemic social problems which keep the black communities poor. They never had as much of a chance..

But whatever moving on..

No matter the issue, it's always Obama's fault, apparently.

Wrong word....factual!

Things will be Obamas fault long after he leaves office.

So what's the deal with Mathews contract? Just copy and paste the same ELC the other top picks got on the last decade. Or does Mathews want more/ Lou still thinks he's on the New Jersey budget?

At least Aki Berg blocked the occasional shot!

My feel is that Lou is going to wait until Aug 15 and let the Vesey thing play out, plus the Cowen buy out and he has 3 RFA to deal with.. no rush..

Wrong word....factual!
- PrinceLH

I would've went with 'amusing', but whatever makes you feel better, champ.

what does all live matter mean? What's the message?

What do they chant? We are alive! We want to remain alive!

It's clearly an attempt to undermine BLM. We should be asking why does it bother people? Why do they need to try to silence a group who are trying to make a better live for themselves?

Let them have their movement.
- Arctic_AARDVARK

That all lives matter. Pretty self explanatory. I'm not against their movement. I'm against the notion that the words all lives matter is seen as racist.

Im sorry but when it comes to social and political issues your facts fall way short of the truth.

Sorry. Didn't mean it in regards to him. At all. (frank) opera.

He graduated from Harvard.

He owes Nashville absolutely nothing.

He owes Buffalo even less.

Howard Berger is on the case. We should know what's up pretty soon.

That practice video of him skating is epic

I wonder if it's still on YouTube?

Well if you have a minority group making noise about an issue, usually it's the people who dont like that group who complain about it.

- Atomic Wedgie

Exactly. He put his University education first and risked his ELC cash and NHL career to achieve those goals.

He earned the right to free Agency, and frankly , I bet there's a lot of AHL washouts that wish they had done the smart thing and stayed in school as well.
