I'd like to be here for the hockey talk. You seem to want to be all about politics. Maybe you need to start Calgary politics and talk about it to your heart's desire.

Hey I know, let's make a 4 nations: nazi edition thread and a 4 nations sports only thread.

Both sides get to have their way.

I don’t understand how a country vs. Country tournament isn’t somewhat political… what else are we doing?

But I know times have changed eh? You know what never comes up, or came up at the time, about the Summit Series? The Cold War. Not even a footnote….

Based on this thread I doubt Wayne Gretzky will be crossing the border the next four years. I think he's the only proven Trump supporter. He'll be heckled, and have tomatoes and fruit thrown at him...

Thankfully for Wayne he can turn that fruit into wine, so he might be okay with that.

Sowing so much division and hatred. You're while MO is now "these people are racist, those people are Nazis, so-and-so is a traitor."

And heaven forbid two simultaneous, on-topic conversations of totally different aubjects might take place in the thread they’re related to/inspired by.

Or that people spend the energy they use complaining about people not talking about what they want to talk about to… you know… talk about the thing they apparently want to talk about.

Can’t have that.

I'm sure all Ukrainian men are wanting to talk about things like soccer right now, instead of that pig putin invading their lands. Sticking your head in the sand and pretending orange hitler doesn't matter is stupid, and a you problem.
Except we're not in an actual war and so far nothing has actually happened.

Wayne Gretzky is also of Ukranian descent and has spoken out against the War in Ukraine on multiple occasions. He was also in support of banning Russia from international tournaments. Maybe the primary reason he supported Trump was because Gretzky believed it would help in ending that War? I'm not defending Trump, but the Democrats were doing nothing to help end that War... Trump promised that he would take action.

Nice of you to finally show up here to go on the attack. I'm surprised it took so long. You've missed a lot of exciting conservation.

If by ending the war you mean handing Ukraine over to Russia, then yah. Trump is a Putin stooge.

I don’t think what is happening around the world should be disallowed from any discussion but at the same time I don’t think there are any real political implications that come from a bunch of dudes chasing a black piece of rubber around.

I’m just glad CPs resident keyboard warriors have all shown up to protect us all from Trump and the US! Because constantly posting on a message board in multiple threads about it is turning the tide of this “war”

To contribute to the rebellion I shall send my thoughts and prayers and combined we will defeat these Nazis once and for all !

It’s incredible how he can take time protecting us from rising crime rates to contribute to the fight against the US. Jason14: a true hero.

Lol, Trump's plan to "end the war" is Ukraine gives up and Russia keeps all territory taken. I notice the people who dont want politics in their hockey are also the ones with zero understanding of what is actually going on. Honestly it must be nice.

The fans are mad that the US President is threatening their country. The US players are salty that their anthem is being booed in protest. As a result it has really invigorated the rivalry.

I don't see how you can discuss these 2 teams and not bring outside factors into the discussion.
