blackhawkrush Posted July 28, 2020 Author Share Posted July 28, 2020 So does it look like the soccer stadiums? With the tifos and whatnot covering the seats?I'm not great with colors, but to me they look like grayish type coverings with the NHL logos and the logos of teams playing in that game. I've seen something like it in the Premier League, yes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rhyta Posted July 29, 2020 Share Posted July 29, 2020 Anthems before the Pittsburgh-Philadelphia game. Nobody's taking a knee. :) Oh, that's too bad. :outtahere: NHL players and coaches stood together on the blue lines prior to two exhibition games at Scotiabank Arena in Toronto on Tuesday to make a statement against social injustice. Members of the Philadelphia Flyers and Pittsburgh Penguins stood side by side in solidarity during the playing of both the United States and Canadian national anthems prior to a 3-2 overtime win by the Flyers. The Toronto Maple Leafs and Montreal Canadiens did the same thing prior to their game. "The Penguins and Flyers, two of the fiercest rivals in sports, united in solidarity this afternoon, to stand up against social injustice, racism and hate," the Flyers and Penguins said in a statement. "The two teams stood as one, merging players from both franchises together across each club's respective blue lines prior to today's game."Each player stood next to a player from the opposing team, including Penguins captain Sidney Crosby next to Flyers center Sean Couturier, Penguins forward Patric Hornqvist next to Flyers forward Jakub Voracek and Penguins defenseman Jack Johnson next to Flyers captain Claude Giroux. "A lot has happened since we played our last game and we felt, both teams, it was important to show unity given what's gone on and just want to be part of the solution moving forward," Crosby said. "So that was kind of the thought behind it." Penguins coach Mike Sullivan stood next to Flyers coach Alain Vigneault during the anthems. "I think all we were trying to do tonight, players and coaches, was show our support," Vigneault said. "That was one small way I thought everybody could do it and show it, and that's what we did." 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rhyta Posted July 29, 2020 Share Posted July 29, 2020 (edited) So who watched any of the games? I saw up to the 3rd period of the Pens/Flyers...missed the OT. :| Didn't watch much of Montreal and the Leafs and I saw parts of each period of the Oilers/Flames. Oilers look ready to roll, watchout Hawks. There will be plenty of games tomorrow..Go Hawks! Will be wearing my mask when I go to the store this week. http://images.app.goo.gl/EqUuJNFRmGkhogFy6 Edited July 29, 2020 by Rhyta 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nobody's taking a knee. :) Oh, that's too bad. :outtahere:No kneelers at the start of Islanders v Rangers, either. Looks like teams aren't going to kneel, most are going to stand together in mixed lines as a sign of solidarity. Did that with all the games I saw today. Expected to do the same on the 1st.

Will they keep it up for the regular season games? I've decided the Blues were just playing possum against the Blackhawks, trying to sucker the Avalanche into overconfidence.

Nova Carmina Posted August 1, 2020 Share Posted August 1, 2020 So the writers at ESPN aren't giving your Blackhawks much love, Blackhawkrush or Rhyta; other than requisite fandom, what are some reasons for optimism?

(Pummeling the Blues in a scrimmage, maybe?)Like these experts ever gave the Hawks any love? I think Oilers will win this series with their power play alone. We might have nine players in the starting line-up that never played in the playoffs. Enough said. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
