Not hockey related but it’s hilarious to know that Popeyes HQ think Edmontonians are such glutinous fat asses, they’ve been made 1 of 4 locations that offers a 300 piece nugget meal until Friday.

https://www.narcity.com/popeyes-300-...da-3-days-only

Popeyes is supersizing one of its menu items and offering 300-piece chicken nuggets in Canada but for three days only.

To celebrate the 300th Popeyes location in Canada opening on October 25, 2022, the fast food chain is introducing "a menu item befitting for the milestone" — a 300-piece Nugget Meal.

So, if you get this meal, you'll get one nugget for each Popeyes location in the country!

The 300-piece meal will cost you $200 at locations in B.C., Alberta and Ontario but the location in Manitoba has it on the menu for $205.99.

Why is the first page of the CALGARY Sun sports section this morning a complete Oilers propaganda piece. Derek Van Diest, twice mentions in this crap article how McDavid was interfered with causing him to crash into the goal post. Anyone with eyes who watched that play knows no penalty took place. Another case where the fanboy media in Edmonton is pushing an agenda. Keep that crap in the Edmonton Sun!

I think it looks hilarious . No flinch reaction from his leg ,no hand to leg in pain , just a graceful tilt and fall to the ice

LOL. Other players OWE McDavid for their pay cheques. That's a new one. It's also incredibly insulting to every player not named McDavid who worked their asses off to get to the NHL.

I don't know how you can call a guy with over 800 NHL games played and a defenseman who could end up with 100 goals before his career is over 2nd tier.

When he was in Edmonton he didn't buy season tickets.

Petry “knew that it was highly likely he would get injured…” and yet “new face of the nhl”(NFOTN) didn’t.

Is this Ron Maclean’s burner twitter? It feels like the right of way rule dialed up.

Yep. People only watch the NHL to watch the McCrossover.

There is no universal constant or “correct” way humans respond to an injury. That slash caught him in an area where the knee/shin protector has limited or zero padding, so it would be amazing if he experienced no pain, then thought about it and realized he ought to dive for a penalty.

i had a men's hockey game last night (here in kelowna)
it's the normal pregame locker room chatter and i bring up the 'amazing' start that the canucks have had this year. the canucks fans kind of drop their heads in shame and the one guy that is a hard core oiler fan starts laughing.
i said something like it's the worst start in the canucks history and not winning any of what... their first six or seven games.
i then immediately follow it with, "but the amazing thing is, even after sucking that bad the canucks are only 4 points back of the oilers!!"
i get a 'wtf' look from the oiler fan and lots of laughs from the canuck fans.
it's kinda fun being able to roast the two teams i can't stand with a simple statement like that.

If anything, this probably demonstrates the total authenticity of an injury. More often than not, a player who is embellishing will go over-the-top with exaggerations in a stronger effort to ensure that a call is made.

In general, however, I think it is the better course of action to avoid predicting how a player's body language "should" or "should not" appear when taking a hit.

It just looks comical the way he goes down

Spoiler!

In the news today the Canadian Federal Government has called for a House of Commons committee to examine the brutal assault and injury on Conna McDavid.

"This was a gross display of violence" screamed Monty Brown a Conservative MP "This cannot stand" If this happened in the streets we're talking arrests, lengthy prison sentences and compensation to Conna and his family". In a rare show of solitary all parties agreed to this commission, its expected to last 6 weeks and cost $100 million dollars. Its expected that Jeff Petry will be called as a hostile witness with the normal house rules of decorum suspended so the use of physical violence can be used to elicit a confession.

A tear full Justin Trudeau commented on the steps of the House of Commons, and was joined arm and arm with Pierre Poli something and Jagmeet Singh as they vowed to pass Bill C-97 which would make it illegal to physically touch Connor on the ice.

"He's a national treasure, that all Canadians rally around and he's beloved by every person in Canada. All woman want to be with him, and all men want to be him, or with him or something like that" he said through sobs.

Meanwhile the UN passed a resolution laying the most brutal sanctions in history on the City of Pittsburgh "We demand that the Penguins be dissolved and as compensation Sidney Crosby sent to play with the Oilers and act as Conna's butler".

Meanwhile in other Hollywood news, a literally collection of elite film and documentary makers are fighting for the rights to make a documentary around this tragedy with Steven Speilberg in the lead

"15 minutes in hell, the amazing recovery of Conna McDavid" is expected to air on Sportsnet this Sunday and its been prenominated for a Oscar. Conna has been named as the producer."

Meanwhile a hockey board CalgaryPuck is being sued for Slander by HFOIL and is expected to lose a judgement in excess of $50 million dollars.

"Those bastards are unnecessarily mean to Conna and were literally laughing at this near fatal and gross assault on him" The poster who bought up the suit apply named, "Connorsbabyfactory" who's real name is Gus Bartowski (gross) has retained the services of mega lawyer Jerry Dewitt

In other news Mike Tyson shockingly bit the ear off of his child's nanny yesterday . . .
