Hey my Canadian friends, did you hear this genocide-supporting, Canada-invading scumbag Zionist? Doug, good luck spending some of your billions on enhanced security.

If calling for Canada, from where half the NHL’s community is from, to be the 51st state doesn’t get you banned for life then what does?

Setting the New York Times’ euphemisms and sanewashing aside for a moment, day by day and piece by piece the NHL makes it harder for me to support a product I’ve loved dating to the late 60s. If it’s not this it’s rampant sexual abuse charges, disgraced coaches/execs rehired, jingoism. Long list.
