I wish cool heads to everyone involved. I hope that you and your loved ones and everyone around you manages to come out of it unscathed, as much as it is even possible under these circumstances. And while my mind has a hard time believing so, I hope that somehow this thing will not evolve into an even bigger catastrophe than it already is.

My opinion as well. Just so happens my fictional hockey player is Russian. I'm not connected to him in any other way than I thought it was a fun name. But to turn a real life tragedy and war into a fucking debate about "if we should have Russia in the SHL" seems quite disrespectful to the situation overall. There are Ukrainian people fighting for their livelihoods. There are Russians demonstrating in the street with balls of steel, despite what could happen to them and has in the past, to stop this war. And we're arguing about a tiny flag in our emote section.

Some of you need to get off the computer and get a dose of real life. This site is baby shit.

Stay safe Ronnie, hopefully what Biden says is true in that the USA will defend every NATO ally.

I agree with the sentiment, but unfortunately Ukraine isn't in NATO, and I don't think NATO will put boots on the ground for a non-member, even if they've applied to join.

War crimes and acts of genocide are continuing to happen across Ukraine and awareness of it needs to be made
