I don’t know how much of that is tongue in cheek or not…so pls forgive me if this seems triggered, I just wanted to sprinkle this in…
Having lived in the community of ‘rough men’ for a few decades, the #1 gnarliest human being I know very, very well cut his teeth in Canadian SF. 
You may not hear much about em on Amazon Prime shows, but they’ve always been in the fight. 
Nothing about being reserved, polite, and prudent makes you a pussy. Just shows a modicum of emotional maturity we seem to lack in many US forces/units. >

They are only nice until you sufficiently annoy them.  Then they board your U-boats shirtless and whip you with chains and steal your cyphers. >

I'm pretty sure they do a lot more than whipping, considering that quite a decent number of Geneva Conventions rules on treatment of enemy combatants are because of Canada. >

As a Canadian its interesting how few Canadians do not realize we're "responsible" for a lot of the Geneva Conventions rules or dont learn about the mystic that was Canadian Troops during the Christmas Truce in WW1 >

Trying to cheat at the next winter Olympics already. >

Fucking with people's ice time is pretty low...real low. >

Russia should take its tank top and go kick rocks.  It’s a great day for hay. >

All hockey leagues and orgs should ceremonially ban Putin from membership in retaliation. >

"I invite all sports officials who want to allow Russian athletes to compete in international events because, as they say, 'politics should be kept out of sports', to visit the Altair ice arena in Druzhkivka ruined by Russia’s 'politically neutral' shelling," Kuleba wrote.

Savage. Seems like all of Ukraine's game when it comes to burns is 10/10. >

Time for Ovechkin to go home? >

Ovechkin should be tried for the war crime of abetting the denial of a hockey game to many people. >

Now, it’s personal. >

Putin should get 2 minutes in the box for this to go with his major for instigating. >

All hockey leagues and orgs should ceremonially ban Putin from membership in retaliation. Hit him where it hurts. >

Honestly at this point Zelensky and Putin should just drop the gloves, winner gets all the territory.
Not like Putin would stand a chance anyway. >

Zelensky could nominate the mayor of Kyiv as a stand-in.
I for one would love to see putin get his face beaten in by Wladimir Klitschko. >

I'm half in on this and half wanting a little more than a ohko. >

As someone who works on the production side of a WHL team, FUCK YOU, RUSSIA! >

Reminds me of when Amnesty International released a report blaming the Ukrainian military for Russia attacking civilian infrastructure.  Have they ever apologized for attempting to give justification and cover to Russia's war crimes? >


A Russian missile attack destroyed an ice arena in the town of Druzhkivka in Ukraine's Donetsk region on Monday, Ukraine's ice hockey federation said, following earlier reports of a missile hitting the town and injuring two people.
"So it is that since the start of the war, the Russian occupiers have destroyed five ice stadiums," the federation said on its Telegram channel, naming them as the Druzhba venue in Donetsk, arenas in Mariupol and Melitopol, the Ice Palace in Sievierodonetsk and now the Altair arena in Druzhkivka. >

Do they think people live there? I don't understand. >

Can't speak for Ukraine but a lot of humanitarian efforts congregate at stadiums because they have large vacant areas and a lot of seating if necessary. It's possible they had bad intel or it's preempting an attack. >

Bad intel? No, they are very deliberate in targeting humanitarian operations. >

Considering they haven't reported any personnel losses in Ukraine for the attack, I'd say it'd have to be a bad intel attack if that was their goal. >

They're blowing up places where people could congregate for warmth and shelter, while targeting the power grid. >


or it's preempting an attack. >

What a horrible way to break the ice. >

Of course you realize , this means war! >

Military rinksmanship at its most rinky-dink. >

Since hockey and the Ukrainian war are in the same post. 
Friendly reminder that the NHL continues to profit off of pro Kremlin propaganda pieces. Including star players who are on the record saying that Ukraine belongs to Russia.
If the league won't ban Russian players, the government of the US and Canada should revoke sports visas for any Russian athlete who cannot make a valid claim for political asylum (for being an outspoken crtic of the fascist dictator ruling their homeland).
They need to be treated the same as we would want to treat Nazi spokesmen in the early 1940's >

Oh puck ! >

Rude.
