The #Canucks welcomed The Penticton Indian Band's Chief Gabriel, Deputy Mayor of Penticton Campbell Watt and Dave Lieskovsky from Kids Sport for today's ceremonial puck drop!
"That’s the most fun part about the hockey world, I think. You know, there’s so many guys you battle against, and you just can’t stand and you, in a way, get aggravated just looking at their face and then you get to meet them and you’re like, 'Wow, this is the best guy in the world and I would do anything for him.'"
- Leon Draisaitl when asked about guys everyone hates to play against but would love to have on their team anyway -
he’s talking about Corey Perry but the wording guyyyysss, like tell us more Leon about how you would anything for him 👀
Shout out to all the Black ppl that can no longer participate directly in the fandom they love because of the stresses of racism 👍🏾 you contain multitudes of value and I'm sorry that the color of your skin and the power of your voice makes people not want to acknowledge that.
