Demonstration of the Power of the Platform people.
This is why the NBA should continue in my opinion (and i realize that's the opposite of my oiriginal position, but I explained it in the NBA thead)
NHL post pones ALL GAMES on Thurs & Fri in solidarity

Evander Kane, one of the most high profile black players in the NHL, was hitting the league pretty hard yesterday for their lack of response to this issue. Glad to see they've come around.

I saw that. But that wouldn't have happened if the NBA didn't flex it's influence.
and the NBA wouldn't have had the balls or support to do that, had it not been for the immense uprising of support from the community at large.
This is the time we've been waiting for to finally demand the change that we've been "promised".
I'm glad we've come far enough as country to gather such support from all walks of life to demand that we all be seen as equal and all have the same rights and privileges as the next person.

The Flyers were down in the series 3-1 and facing elimination. Then they won game 5 in overtime. Now tonight they won game 6 in double overtime to force game 7 on Saturday night after both Western Conference semifinal series have their own game 7s tomorrow. A fun stretch of games for neutrals.

Double game sevens! Unfortunately I won't be able to watch it tonight. D'oh! No way I could avoid spoilers either. If the Canucks win then I'll hear horns honking and if I don't hear them that it will mean they lost.
All things considering though, I wouldn't have expected this group of players to be one game away from the conference finals in their first playoffs so whatever happens there is lots of optimism for the future. Hughes has really impressed me and he's a rookie so he should only get a better. Pettersson and Horvat have been great. Boeser was disappointing me at first but he's picked it up the last few games. I was really happy with Markstrom's goaltending and was worried that he would leave in free agency. But he's been "unfit to play" (ie: presumably has covid) and Thatcher Demko has come in and killed it. So maybe we can let Markstrom leave if his asking price is too high. Though I notice Demko gives up a lot of rebounds which hasn't gotten him burned yet but is something I hope he improves on over time.
The Canucks seem quite overmatched against Vegas so I'm blown away they were able to force a game seven. It's a nice situation because the pressure is on the Knights. They lose and it's a choke. Vancouver loses and it's an underdog team going down after a strong effort.
