Yes. And he’s right!
Just WOW !
I don’t know if I’d call them patriots. LOL. Most of them aren’t even Americans.
So many Canucks on that team - some of us love your country more than your own citizens - weird.
You beat me to it. Hockey players are from US,Canada and all over Europe/Russia.
Did Trump just call a Russian a Patriot.... CNN Head Line news in 3, 2, .........
ping on this one too.
Oh, and the Vegas Knights story is good too, so, there have been a few NHL stories so far.
Vegas Knights have started out 3-0, over the Stars and over the Coyotes twice... Congrats to them. They honored those victims of the massacre, another story on FR about it.
Glad we’ve got this straight, Canada, a real conservative country (snicker), I’m just kidding guys, we’ve all got to pull together to do the best we can.
A bunch of old white men.
Yes except for all the young white men.
Seems only those on Tampa Lightning (?) have disrespected the flag. And somebody posted he (they?) was an American, not Russian.
Why are they so much hotter in their uniforms? ;)
Still a great pic. Awesome. Congrats, Penguins, now stop winning... LOL.

Missed that. Am in Florida for a bit now and am watching the Lightning every game cause I’m close. Good Club! Missed the anthems and the drama. Good for me. Hate the crap!
LeBrainless and Steph Curry is unavailable for comment, because they are up CK’s butt...(or Hillary’s!)

Oh wait, ‘The’ Penguins. Sports team. That’s cool too.
