This is disappointing, and I don't want to get political.

But I just read that some hockey players including a couple

of my Stars are kneeling.  I've missed it since I haven't seen

the beginning of any games.  LIke I said, don't want to make

political comments, we all have our own thoughts on this, but for

me, kneel and I click off.  I feel like a gal without a sport to watch.  

Enjoy the playoffs everyone.

GOOOO STARS!!

@yellowrose   I'm not sure.  Maybe look online to see if the rumor is true before tuning out.

If I see any hockey player kneel during our Athem? Will see what management does about that/those player(s). If nothing is done, I will never watch another of that team's games. The same goes, even if it is my Rangers team.

I have quit watching the NFL and the NBA, never was a baseball fan. To me this is not political, it is my choosing what sports I will and will not support. 

This "whatever term you choose to call "kneeling", has many other places it can be done, and probably with much bigger audiences than a hockey arena. At a sporting event where people pay good money to enjoy themselves, it is not the venue!

You are not alone in how you feel, and I for sure am with you.🇺🇸  What others choose to do or not do, is up to them!

The kneeling took place during the Dallas/Vegas game back on Aug. 3rd.

Vegas player Reaves approached Dallas player Seguin to tell him that

he would be kneeling.  Seguin talked with his team and another Star, Dickinson, decided to join him to show support for Reaves.

Lehner from Vegas also decided to take a knee.

These 4 were the first hockey players (in uniform) to kneel.

So that's the story.  Won't bring the topic in here anymore. 

Maybe it was a one time thing since Sequin said he didn't know if he

would kneel again.

Hi everyone,  

Today's games start at 3:00 eastern on NBCSN and go throughout the night. 

Good luck to all the teams we're rooting for today! 

Rangers got the number 1 draft pick!  I guess they will pick Alexis????

Wasn't planning on watching this game, but WOW, 4th OT.....I had to turn it on.

Those guys must be exhausted.

Hi @yellowrose   going to the 5th OT.   Holy smokes, ita, these guys must be so very tired, physically and mentally!   I feel for the officials, as well.  

Your boys will  get a win their next game! I predict it!   *fingers crossed* 

@loveschocolate are you exhausted from watching and cheering?
