Humboldt Broncos. Personal thoughts today

[Johnhitbox]

According to the guys on the Fan960 we should not focus on Hockey talk, firings and hirings. i'm just saying that i believe its perfectly normal to keep moving on. without disrespecting what happened.

[N-E-B]

I’ve read your post over five times and I still don’t understand what you’re trying to say. Can you elaborate a bit more on what exactly your point is here?

[nik-]

What are you saying? What did the Fan 960 day we shouldn't be talking about? Firings and changes in our team because if this tragedy?

Most of us are relatively disconnected from the actual people involved and share the tragedy as a result of geography, culture and empathy. However the world keeps turning and life goes on. It's not selfishness, it's necessity.

Sorry I know im really bad at writing of any kind.

My point is that a lot of people want to just continue on with hockey talk, and i think that it's okay. even though some people on the radio say otherwise.

[Winsor_Pilates]

I think he's trying to say that Fan960 suggested not talking normal hockey talk at a time like this, and he's disagreeing.

[topfiverecords]

I think he probably meant discuss and not disguise at the end there. Pay respects...mourn...grieve...support...but life will go on. Discussing GG’s future replacement will go on too.

[Toonage]

Its absolutely ok and for many part of the healing process.

[metroneck]

Has one of the On Air guys specifically mentioned not to talk about it? I’ve been hearing the opposite message.

My take away is that many of us know someone who has ‘ridden the bus’, but it’s not about ‘oh my god that could have been me’, or making it about ourselves, rather sharing thoughts, and creating a place where those who are truly impacted by such tragedies to be heard.

I think it important not to judge people for how this impacts them.

The 960 guys have been talking about it all day. Yes they have also included talk about the Flames because...well...that's their main purpose and they are broadcasting from the dome. They have had access to all the players and the GM for the first time in months.

The tragedy in Saskatchewan has dominated the airways for the last 72 hours, rightfully so, but that doesn't mean the world stops everywhere else. I watched an interview a couple hours ago with one of the fathers of a young man who lost his life Friday, and he was talking about hockey and baseball and how much his boy loved both.

As with all these kinds of tragedies, there is no playbook on how to move forward. They are doing their best and trying to balance respect for what happened and what their "job" is in Calgary.

Of course the professionalism comes first.
