You should keep your politics out of this, MAGA stands for a long list of positives - sounds like you've bought in 110% into the main stream media narratives being pounded into you. Funny how you criticize Republicans for "greed and power" but you turn a blind eye to sleepy joe's son getting $1 billion from china, and everything the democrats do is to get power and win elections, all the phoney virtue signalling is done so they could get power. Trump had a very pragmatic view of politics, and MAGA even forced the democrats to adopt China-skeptic policies on trade.

I'd also be critical of Trudeau for his greed and his lust for power. We have to put up with so many stupid decisions by Trudeau, just because he wants to be sassy like his dad, and build up his popularity, rather than improve the economic interests of Canadians - namely Albertans. I think you should quit your virtue signalling and focus on fixing the real issues that Albertans face, as well as Americans. It's easy for you to sit in your chair in mount royal, and criticize Trump for prioritizing the American economy - especially in areas that saw many of their companies take their jobs with them to China, think about those 96 million unemployed Americans, and next time pick your words wisely instead of going straight to accusing them of being "greedy"

You say keep your politics out of this and then go and spout YOUR politics!
Take your own advice you (frank)ing hypocrite and shut the (frank) up.
This is a hockey forum.

Speaking of hockey...thank goodness that game's over - although Valimaki's save was worth the price of admission. .
Good to see some fans (10% capacity?) able to watch the Dallas Nashville game. Hopefully, Canadians will be doing the same when the playoffs start.

Sutter has his work cut out for him. I’m not completely sold on him as the answer. I think the core is in need of a revamp.

It's what the ownership wanted. They want TV rights revenue and franchises to increase in value. That only happens with more USA based fans and players. You only get that with Cup winners... Calgary losing after they'd scored legit goal, Pittsburg getting Crosby was no fluke. Saved that team. Dallas winning on a controversial goal over buffalo. Boston getting Rome suspended for "late" hit/ no boychuk suspension...

I went to those games in 04 (and I have the credit card bills to prove it.)
I was totally into it. I was heartbroken. Warrener lived on my street and I got the neighbours to sign a card thanking him(them) for trying so hard - I'll bet those players still have the taste of being robbed in their mouths.
No sport is so dependent as hockey is on split second events like a missed penalty call or goal tender interference. When an organization's bottom line of literally billions of dollars can be affected by something so miniscule as a missed call (or a missed goal) you'll never get me to believe that pressure on officials is an impossibility.
Greed and power are no strangers to American society (MAGA to name but the most recent example of how 30+ percent of Americans view life) .It's simply reality today and only very naive, wishful thinking people (Canadian hockey fans?) could believe that the NHL operates in a vacuum - and that an "imperfect" outcome is impossible.

Another recent example is the Pharma companies with their promoter Fauci...
Trudope with his protection of Quebec jobs at the expense of western jobs (snc lavalin has big money on the line with Saudi Arabia, so can't have Saudi oil replaced by western crude)

This Flames team sucks and won't make the (frank)ing playoffs, FFS the Canucks have a better chance of making the playoffs.

Right now, I don't like either team's chances.

I don't see it that way. There's many stories of Trump's generosity, such as thanking a guy who pulled over to help Trump, (who's car was pulled over with a flat tire) - by purchasing him a home - or letting a homeless black woman, live rent free for life in his luxury condo, even getting free butler & catering service.
Calling Trump "greedy" is just political posturing and political mud-slinging - and sorry, but that's a diversion tactic, so let's come right back to the fact, that democrats are now allowing tonnes of South Americans to come into the US illegally - and undoing so many of Trump's common sense policies - just because they want to spite him, and could care less about America and Americans. There's tonnes of poor people in Europe - how come south america apparently has supremacy and priority for immigration into the US? THAT'S unjust. Or let's talk about how during ISIS attacks in iraq - they commit genocide against non-muslim populations - but who did biden allow to come to the US as "refugees"? Muslims - and completely ignored the cries of help, of Christians and yazidis. Do you want to talk about the truth - or are you more interested in calling Trump "greedy" - just because you're brainwashed by the main stream media? Are you in love with identity politics? because there's real issues out there, like allowing real refugees into the US, and ending genocides like abortion - the killing of millions of babies - just because the far left media supports such evil.

Which common sense policies were those? The border concentration camps that stayed open longer than many of the originals back in the 1940s? Putting America First in trade policies to the point no one wants to deal with them anymore? The tariffs that made Americans pay way more than they needed to for consumer goods? The allowing communist China to expand its power base everywhere in the world while they snickered at what a joke the US was becoming with the leaders of the developed world? Being the record holder for most impeachments in a single term?

Or was it that whole pandemic thing which Biden seems to have been able to get under control in less than 3 months after taking over because people can actually talk to him without making the conversation all about himself and how unfair the world is to him? Destroying the faith of a near majority of Americans in their national institutions thanks to his behaviour? A failed coup which technically should qualify him for the death penalty if he was charged correctly with treason for it rather than impeachment via political theatre?

The new structural fiscal deficits created making the US national debt sinkhole ever larger than it was before? The Space Force/militarized NASA he created??????! XD Successfully defending both sides at the Charlottesville riots and other State assembly occupations by terrorist militias? Making health care work so well? Creating the worst US economy and highest unemployment rates since the Great Depression? Telling everyone COVID-19 was a hoax until he got it himself?

But then, yeah, I guess those were all also Harper and Antifa's fault too, so whatever...

Take your adulation of the Mike Milbury-equivalent of the political world and go back to Parler 7.0. Even most of the QAnon folks woke up to how this was all a giant celebrity cult dedicated to nothing but DT's self-interest after Jan. 6. I pity those around you who have to listen to this garbage all day when you bring it up unprompted.

And yeah to the others talking politics in a hockey forum, Don Cherry would be proud of all ya true blue eyed patriots fighting all the pinkos. That Ralph Klein guy was awesome, giving us that $400 one time check to Albertans. Not like that jerk Trudeau, all he did was give you up to $2,000 a month if you needed it (CERB) minus the income taxes owed on it and made it so your employers could continue to cover your over-entitled Western (Canadian) first-world salary jobs at 75% of the cost of your total earnings, just so you can keep thinking the idea that business managers and banks know in any way what the heck they are doing with your money for as long as you like, and so that....eventually... oil will ride in again to the rescue after the rest of the country has been doing the real heavy lifting on economic output since 2014, and getting bigger, better and more competitive in the process. But yeah, Trudeau's the lazy over-entitled Laurentian elite out to get you all...makes sense...

Face the truth, folks, you are paying the price for your economic negligence enabled by the price of oil being inflated for over a decade during the Harper years (also his fault, too, btw). The AB economy sucks, its fundamentals have no basis in economic reality anymore, and you lash out at anyone who tells you that like they are giving you smallpox and leaving you to die because you won't consider transitioning into new work or moving to areas of the country that may have a viable future and into sectors which don't leave half the Canadian Shield as an environmental wasteland where the corporations responsible won't pay the billions of dollars needed to repair it after they leave.

AND you lost to the Ottawa Senators last night...again...Shame!!!!!!
