Take A Knee?
I purposely posted this episode on Friday, to give you something to think about over the weekend. I need to address another elephant in the room, which is the NHL's social media statements of #KneelForHockey or #WeSkateForBlackLives. I noticed these hashtags during the NHL playoffs, and I have a few questions and also statements that I need to address. As a person of color, I want to provide MY OWN (DISCLAIMER: I CANNOT SPEAK FOR OTHER PEOPLE) personal perspective on these social media hashtags and kneeling in general. My main takeaway: don't let that be the only thing you do. I explain it more in this serious episode. Learn more about your ad choices.

Rangers First Overall Draft Pick = Pain, Pain, & More Pain
I am having a very bad day, I am in no mood, this (today) is one of the worst days I've had in a long time! I'm not in the mood to play with anybody. Well, it's official with the first overall selection in the NHL Draft that pick is going to: Lindy Ruff's former team the New York Rangers! Well, my luck just ran out. I didn't want Toronto to get that pick, never mind our bigger rival obtaining it...I didn't even think about it. I guess that's karma on my end.
