Thread: Who should the Seattle Kraken pick?
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Pens3lieve</b></div><div>Let's try to figure out who Seattle would take right now...

Let me know who your team would protect...etc... or just who the viable options to select would be??
also would your team want SEA to take a bad contract and what would you give up for it to happen?
or a player you want to pay off SEA NOT to take??
any side deals you would want your team to make with SEA?
etc....</div></div>

Buffalo Sabres (7-3-1)

Eichel, Reinhart, Olofsson, Mittelstadt, Skinner (NMC), Thompson, Asplund
Dahlin, Ristolainen, Jokiharju
Ullmark

Ideally, if the Sabres could move Skinner in order to re-sign Hall that would be great, but his NMC makes that extremely unlikely. Barring that, the Sabres will prefer Seattle to take Okposo's contract, but that's unlikely as well without a side deal.
The toughest player to leave exposed is probably Montour.

Thread: Reverse Retro Jersey Thoughts
<strong>RANKED</strong>

<em>GOOD</em>
1. Colorado: All-around gem.
2. Carolina: Want to see what it would have looked like in Hurricanes colors.
3. Pittsburgh - Simple, neat.
4. Buffalo - An old motif in an older (and newly revisited) color scheme.
5. Minnesota - I like that they kept the current look and used vintage colors.
6. NY Rangers - Would have preferred reverse color scheme (red jersey) so it's not so similar too the original jersey.
7. Arizona - Fun look.
8. Los Angeles - Color contrast (from black and gray to purple and yellow) makes it a very interesting look.
9. Washington - It would probably look better in Navy, but RED is a big theme for Caps.
10. Florida - Surprised it doesn't feel too soon to bring back this look.

<em>OKAY</em>
11. Montreal - The look is so classic that all it takes is a color swap to be interesting.
12. Calgary - Not very creative and I think the logo doesn't vibe with the team's aesthetic, but I've always thought it was a good stand alone design.
13. New Jersey - I'm not a fan of these colors, but it was the obvious choice.
14. Winnipeg - Red jerseys would have given more pop, but it's not bad.
15. Edmonton - Not too many combinations of these colors that they haven't already done.
16. Dallas - Would have liked a design truer to the original design of these 90s jerseys, but it's sharp.
17. Chicago - Looks dated, in multiple ways. But it's well done for what it's trying to do.
18. Ottawa - Not very creative, but no big problems with it.
19. Vegas - Fine. Tough to do a retro thing with such a new franchise.
20. St. Louis - This jersey in yellow with the lighter blue trim would have been better. The weird numbering with the flashy red is too much.

<em>BAD</em>
21. Vancouver - There were better options. The stick and rink logo in either the black and yellow or navy and burgundy may have looked good.
22. Nashville - Boring. Didn't even do the easy thing; make them blue.
23. Boston - A version of the bear jerseys would have been better. I just don't like so much yellow.
24. Philadelphia - Not very creative.
25. San Jose - They picked the right jersey, but that logo is awful.
26. Tampa Bay - Too wordy, as it was at the time. Doing it on a gray jersey may have given it something else new to distract from it.
27. Columbus - I don't know what it is. I just don't like it.
28. Toronto - Never liked these jerseys.
29. NY Islanders - Missed a golden opportunity to bring back the fishsticks jersey with a new twist. Ended up not doing anything at all.
30. Detroit - Doesn't get more plain than this. Zero creativity.
31. Anaheim - Could have just done the original jersey in green. Why would you trot out this monstrosity?

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Jesus</b></div><div>You're literally talking about fractions of seconds from seeing the knife to the person stabbing you with it. Real life isn't the movies. If Blake grabbed the knife in the car with intentions of using it (I'd assume he wasn't gonna cut up a turkey dinner for them with it) it would've taken exactly 1-2 seconds for him to stick it into that police officer. He wouldn't stand there and do little tricks with it for 5 seconds like its an Indiana Jones movie, he would've ****ing stabbed him. Then that officer would be dead and never see his family again and no one would care. Were they supposed to shoot him in that 1 second interval from them seeing the knife to the knife being lodged in the officers throat? Were they supposed to shoot him after he was stabbed? And even if there wasn't a knife the officer is supposed to put his life on the line to see what this goof is gonna pull out of his car after they'd just tazed him for resisting arrest?</div></div>

I don't know how to put this any simpler, so I'll just reiterate one more time for you: use of deadly force is only justified when presented with an imminent threat. That's not a hypothetical possibility of a threat; an imminent threat.

I'm with mondo here though, this is a useless endeavor because you're talking in circles. I'm stepping away. Good luck with everything.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>JRoss</b></div><div>As for wrestling I wasn’t talking about the recent case Because there was obviously no wrestling. But I’m sure you already knew that you just don’t wanna talk about all the other cases in the vast majority of them who have attacked the cops. You clearly have no clue what you were talking about. Stop repeating the bull**** that your liberal friends and main stream media are telling you. Try doing some research maybe try listening to what some conservative political analysts are saying and see the other side of the argument.</div></div>

You're mad at me now for not realizing you had built a strawman that had nothing to do with the conversation we were all having. I don't think you're capable of having it.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>JRoss</b></div><div>Do you know walking away from being detained is resisting arrest. Reaching into your car while being detained and being told to put your hands up is resisting arrest. If you do that and a cop feels that you’re reaching for a weapon then you were going to get shot.
You think police Or anyone that supports the police Are “pro murder”? No I think the people that I are more responsible for what’s going on with police is the actual black community and liberal media. Stop showing videos of crowds of people telling the police that they can’t arrest people while that person continues to resist and get beat. Maybe teach the community to stop and comply and this would’ve happen.</div></div>

The police departments are responsible for losing the respect of the communities they're supposed to serve. To earn it back they're going to have to change how they interact with people.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>JRoss</b></div><div>You continue with the name-calling and condescending remarks just like liberals normally do whenever they don’t have a point. You have made zero sense. And instead of worrying about the cops who are risking their lives trying to protect black communities from other Black peopleYou are worried about the people who aren’t listening to the police. You do know that walking away from a police officer while being detained is literally a definition of resisting arrest. That in itself does not justify a shooting. But when you lean into a car when you’re supposed to have your hands up that can justify a shooting. There are many times that has happened where people have Reached in to get a weapon and shot at the cops.
Here is the problem. I somewhat agree with the Black Lives Matter movement who don’t want the police involved. I’m not for defunding police. Take that money that goes towards policing and maybe police the white neighbourhoods who actually would like the cops to be around more often seeing as they are the ones that normally paid the majority of the taxes in the community that go towards policing. The black communities are policing themselves and people are dying all over the place. But yeah let’s blame the police man because he’s trying to protect the majority of the people in those neighbourhoods and forget about the fact that virtually every single one of these people that were killed by cops were criminals with a long rap sheets Who didn’t Try to kill the cops in self defence like the cops ended up doing, they tried to kill the cops So they didn’t have to go to jail.
So once again stop Listening to mainstream media who is not reporting Facts properly. They Aren’t about the news and in fact have a political agenda. That’s it. Do you research.</div></div>

I didn't call him a name; I said it was a dumb comment. That's not the same as calling him dumb.
If someone gets in a car and brandishes a weapon, THEN police are justified to respond with lethal force. They are not justified in responding to a hypothetical threat they created in their imaginations.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>JRoss</b></div><div>Resisting arrest doesn’t put anyone’s life in danger? And you say I don’t know what I’m talking about. That is exactly why almost every black man was killed. Because they resisted arrest and became an immediate threat. Lol. Put your hands up and comply. Then there will be no problems with the police. The judicial system, that’s a different story. Many black men are forced to take plea bargains and innocent ones end up in jail because they can’t afford decent representation. But that is not a black thing. That is a poverty thing. In fact it’s a middle class thing as well. I live in a house that’s over a million dollars and I can’t afford a lawyer either.</div></div>

"Cops shoot unarmed people who don't comply so obviously resisting arrest puts their life in danger" is quite the argument. Gotta admit, I didn't see that one coming.
