There is no reason to continue this thread on the main forum. It is a legitimate topic, and there are passionate people with wide-ranging opinions. Still, a discussion for this already exists in a more appropriate forum, the Politics forum. The fact is, this topic, while worthy of being discussed, cannot rise above politics while remaining a substantive conversation.

This thread will remained closed. Further discussion should be moved here: http://hfboards.hockeysfuture.com/sh....php?t=1127403

(Fair warning: the politics forum is unmoderated. Participate at your own risk)

I don't think this message deserves to get lost in the shuffle because some people can't discuss things rationally. A good message deserves to be seen.

A new ad is supposed to run on NESN's broadcast today and will feature Zdneo Chara and Jason Pominville.

RT @YouCanPlayTeam: The new PSA today features 2 more @NHL captains, including the captain of the reigning Stanley Cup Champions. Leadership counts off the ice.
