I'm a left leaning, life long hockey fan, and in no way do I feel alienated. I'm a grown man, I don't need the Hughes brothers to help me form my political opinion lol. This was the happiest I've been about sports since the Astros won in 22. Absolutely buzzing for the league to start back up.

Better take notice on who you are associating with on that left side. There are many that would hate you for that post.
The best way to keep evil men from wielding great power is to not create great power in the first place.

I think it's more upsetting how POTUS made fun of the women Olympians who have factually won more golds than men's and the women's hockey team won gold more recently than the men have.

"Oh, I guess I have to invite them.. I'd hate to get impeached", it's not humor it's just misogyny.

I'm literally shaking.

He invited them so he gets credit for participating in pretending anyone cares about women's sports


Even women don't care about women's sports.
100% true.

It isn't misogyny, it's reality.

The fact us winning the gold is more about politics than celebrating is whats wrong with this country. The fact that olympic champions cant accept an invitation and be excited about a call from the US president without repercussions from others, no matter what political party, is whats wrong with this country. Anyone who has a problem with this is the one with the problem. So stfu.

Leftists are what's wrong with this country. They're the ones that started us down this path. Their ideas are worthless in a constitutional republic. F*** 'em and feed 'em fish heads.

I'm not a hockey fan, nor do I follow the Olympic games much anymore, but glad to see our men and women beat the Canuks.

And y'all will cry and bemoan when women by and large vote against GOP in 26 and 28 and wonder "Why would they do this?"

Because a bunch of bad a$$ American kids punched a bunch of commies in the balls.

You won the miserable white woman with **** husband vote. Congratulations .

Also your smiley fools no one. We know you are as ****ing miserable as Keith Olbermann and Don Lemon

Women's sports are not supported globally like here in the USA. That is why you see very few teams in women's sports competing for the gold in sports like Hockey, Softball, Soccer, and basketball. Only a few industrialized nations pour resources into it like we do. So it is easier for the women's national team to be more competitive.

Oh and the men won gold more recently than the women. By 3 days....

I like hockey. The strike that killed the 2004-05 season lost me. I would come back if Houston gets a team and it's named the Aeros

I went to quite a few Aeros games back in the day. It was a bummer when they left. I really took them for granted when they were there. But I no longer live in Houston. I live in Bryan so wouldn't be making as many games anyway.

I wish I could decide on a good NHL team to follow and I'm not going to follow Dallas. Sorry. Any suggestions would be appreciated. I've been watching some of the games over the last few years but just can't decide.

He didn't make fun of the women and it was a joke and I'm really sick of people always looking for victim status. Y'all hate Trump's so much,no matter what the man does or says you get pissed off.

I can't imagine going around day-to-day with this much anger and hatred in my existence.

It must be a horrible way to live life.

And it's amusing for the left now, who can't even define what a woman is and has no problem with men being in little girls bathrooms now all of a sudden want to champion women. And the fact that this team has not won as much, like the women have made it a little more special victory.

Sports should never have anything to do with politics. Ever. This win is not about politics. This win is not about President Trump. The country was coming together until once again the angry leftist got pissed off. We just have to ignore them.

How is that different than 24, 22, 20, 18, 16, etc.? The left still lost the last 3 presidential elections despite how those green haired libs voted

100% true.

True. I rarely watch any women's sports. Maybe once in a blue moon if one of the Aggie teams is doing well but I'm sorry I just don't find it that interesting. I'm glad others do. I'm glad when they do well.

I was very happy for the volleyball team when they won the national championship. I did attend one of their matches a few years ago and it was much better than I was expecting. In fact, I enjoyed it way more than basketball. I did go to two of the softball playoff games last year and I enjoyed it, but I didn't like it as much as the baseball. But again, I'm glad when they do well.

If I had a daughter in sports though, I'm sure I would take much more interest and of course I would support them. I myself played a little softball and was on a swim team when I was growing, but it was never cutthroat competitive. It was just fun. The softball was just OK something to do, but I loved swimming. Still do.

Now you couldn't pay me to watch the WNBA of course I don't like the NBA anyway.

Your fake outrage is noted. Just because you and your leftist friends use a word, that doesn't make it so. Clean out your purse and calm down.

That's the tough part of being an NHL fan in Houston.

I loosely follow the Stars (and the Ottawa Senators, thanks to my days playing EA Sports hockey). The USA's Brady Tkachuk is the Senators' captain but Ottawa fans hate him now because he didn't tell Trump not to call the locker room. LOL.

I used to be a Phoenix Coyotes fan because they were somewhat close and had a cool logo. But they were sold and relocated to Utah.

You could go Original Six and follow the Red Wings, Bruins or Blackhawks.

But my suggestion would the Tampa Bay Lightning, arguably the NHL's most successful franchise over the past 10 years. Two Stanley Cups, one other finals appearance, and six conference finals.

If you can't get it here, you won't get it ever.

Where have you been for the past 10 years?

Liberal women overwhelmingly voted for Hillary, Trump kicked her ass in their election. Liberal women overwhelmingly voted for Kamala, Trump kicked her ass in their election. Trump actually beat Biden too, but him being back now is actually sweeter.

These women voted for Hillary and Kamala, even though neither one of them were good candidates. If you're voting for a woman because she's a woman then you're already lost. And if you're thinking that a large number of Republican women, especially those who voted for Trump are going to turn against Trump because of this ridiculousness, I truly have some beachfront property in Arizona I'd like to sell you.

Women like me, laugh at liberal women.

I'm not sure where you get your news, but you are really not up-to-date on things.

Go ahead with a Kamala/AOC ticket that is going to be hilarious. Two absolute morons. Pretty much sums up the Democrat party.

Thanks. I'll take a look at some of them and decide. I appreciate the information. I think I want to lean more towards some of the northern teams just because it's hockey but interesting about Tampa Bay. I guess it doesn't really matter since they're dispersed all over.

Saw this response on one of the articles and this is basically it.

Also saw that one of the announcers for one of the NHL teams said that both sides (left annd right) embarrassed themselves, but I disagree. He was sticking up for Jack Hughes, but no only the left embarrassed themselves. So I disagree with that.

Quote:

Don La Greca may be biased, as he gets to watch Jack Hughes play every night, but the New Jersey Devils play-by-play announcer could not help but defend America's newest hero and his teammates.
La Greca joked that he was close to deleting social media in the wake of the U.S. men's hockey team winning its first gold since 1980. The Devils' announcer implored both sides that Hughes scored simply for the United States of America, not for either Democrats or Republicans.
"I'm not coming from either side both sides embarrassed themselves…" La Greca said on his ESPN New York radio show, "Don Hahn & Rosenberg." "He's a hockey player that scored a goal. And that's all he cares about. And he loves being American."

Don't choose a team just because they're good, that would make you like a t-shirt Patriots or Yankees fan! Choose a team from a place you might like to visit to see some games. Like if you enjoy gambling and all the shows in Vegas, consider the Golden Knights (bonus: they're doing really well right now.)

That many women are dumb and so emotionally swayed and petty that they would vote for increased violence and lawlessness in their own towns, and the destruction of western civilization, over occasional mean tweets, as a temper tantrum of sorts? No, we get it, and have for quite some time now. We are talking about a segment of women who prioritize baby killing over pretty much everything else and say things like "I can't imagine my daughter growing up in a horrific world where she doesn't have the right to kill my grandchildren".

From the same group who gave us "OMG, we are living out Handmaid's Tale!"...but also, "Give us all of your Muslims!" LOL

There is NOTHING we can do to change these women, so might as well mock em.

Progressives pretend that they only root against our country because of "what Trump did to it". However, I've lived in the northeast for almost 20 years and I can say with absolute certainty that progressives dislike our country and rooted against it long before 2016.

In one fell swoop Team USA managed to alienate a huge portion of the current NHL fanbase in the United States, undermine many of the initiatives the league has been trying to make, and turn off the precise segment of the sports market hockey has been trying so desperately to gain.

Maybe I missed it, but I didn't see direct quotes from NHL officials in the opinion article. I see did read a bunch of soy garbage that was the opinion of the author.

I did some searching and SBNation is owned Vox and is apparently known to be very left leaning, so this opinion piece isn't surprising.

Now for my opinion, Kash slinging beers around with the team was freaking great!

These idiot white liberals donning a keffiyeh like it's some sort of statement of consolidation, know nothing of the culture behind it and don't have a grasp on the realization that if they actually lived in the land where the keffiyeh originates, they'd like be stoned to death for the way they carry themselves in public, especially the gays and queers who would be put to death for their choice of life to live. They are all a bunch of frauds
