I’m a firm believer that in order to be a decent human being you have to have some level of empathy and compassion for others. Choosing to slap the worst photo of a horrible injury on a front cover, lacks both those things. But hey it’s 2021 so retweets > decency 🤷‍♂️

Trying something a little different on here. Every once in awhile I’ll ask players random question that have nothing to do with hockey. First guest is Jason Spezza. Clothes, cars and food. If you guys like it I’ll keep doing it. If you don’t, I don’t really care.

Speaking out and taking action against racism and racial inequality isn’t political. It’s moral, ethical and the right thing to do. Don’t be more upset about athletes not entertaining you tonight than the racism that exists.

I don’t think it will ever happen, but I’d love to see the NHL go no dress code. 99% of guys will still wear suits but you’d get some young guys who would show off their personality. Whether that’s streetwear or high fashion, it would add a fun element and appeal to a new crowd.

Imagine being a young or new hockey fan and seeing a jersey designed and worn by Bieber. That’s how you create lifelong fans. Appreciate them and what they are into. You can honour history and connect with the future generation of fans. It doesn’t have to be 1 or the other.

Babcock on Nylander ignoring the negativity. “That’s what the country music channel is for and the hunting channel. Wild TV 393, it’s dialed in. They never talk about hockey once. Honest to God it’s unbelievable. Beautiful animals, mountains, hiking, fishing. Thing of beauty.”
