Ok
Nice. Insurance if Levi isn’t ready (not feeling likely?) and a good call up in case of injury.
I really hate this one. Doesn’t feel good having one of the most open homophobes in the league on the team.
Next you’re gonna tell me we packaged upl or Levi in a trade
Corrected to a one way contract:

Feels a lot like either 1) another year of goalie carousel or 2) a trade with Levi packaged is brewing.
I really didn’t think they’d have Levi cook in the AHL another year.
If Levi or UPL get hurt he’s a decent fall back plan for backup
Horrible goalie. Don’t understand how he’s stayed in the league for so long. Constantly making dumb plays and overreacting to rushes.
Couldn’t we have found a 35 year old homophobe for cheaper in some random beer league?
Getting tank vibes.
The last time we brought back ‘the old coach’ and gave him a bunch of career fourth liners and backup goaltenders we tanked. Until I see them address their top two scoring lines it’s really looking an awful lot like they’re firing up the tank.

Between him and Dell we sure end up with some real unlikable AHL goalies huh
Whatever.
When you get a chance to spend more money on an older worse, and less liked 3rd string goalie you just have to do it
Ditching Skinner and Zemgus for this asshole feels dirty.
I remember when when someone edited his Wikipedia page to say something like « him and glorious leader Kim Jun Un are the only people to ever golf a 17 »
Well if I needed an excuse to not buy tickets this year I believe I found one
Reimer’s signing has made me think a lot about the situation where players might be hesitant to participate in Pride Warmups due to their religious beliefs. It reminds me of a similar scenario: imagine a pacifist who refuses to participate in Military Appreciation Night. Consider the potential reactions: « Just because you don’t support war doesn’t mean you can’t support our military! » Is this parallel to « Just because you don’t support the LGBT movement doesn’t mean you can’t support LGBT people! », or close enough as makes no difference?
First, let’s look at the personal beliefs versus professional role aspect. Participation in team events like Pride Warmups can be seen as part of a player’s professional responsibilities, showing inclusivity and support for all fans. However, if such participation fundamentally contradicts a player’s deeply held beliefs, it might feel like a violation of their conscience and integrity. It’s a tough balance between professional expectations and personal convictions. Participation in these events can foster team unity and a positive public image, showing solidarity and support for diverse communities. However, if players are forced to participate against their will, it could create internal conflict and resentment, potentially undermining team cohesion and trust. The challenge is finding a way to support both team unity and individual integrity.
Respecting the diversity of beliefs is crucial. Players might find other ways to participate that align with their values, such as being present without actively endorsing the event. Alternatively, they could find other ways to show support for LGBTQIA+ individuals, like engaging in community outreach or supporting anti-bullying campaigns. However, these alternatives might not be seen as sufficient by some, who might expect full, enthusiastic participation in team events.
Criticism from the media and public should be balanced and fair (but it rarely is). It’s important to consider the player’s right to hold personal beliefs and the broader context of their actions and support for all individuals. Harsh or unfair criticism can overlook the complexity of the issue and reduce it to a binary choice, which doesn’t foster understanding or dialogue. Respecting freedom of expression and promoting a respectful conversation is essential to navigate these situations effectively.
Ultimately, the decision on whether a player should or can participate in such events is deeply personal and context-dependent. Fostering an environment where different perspectives are respected is key. Open conversations between players, teams, and communities can help find understanding and common ground. Recognizing and respecting the diversity of beliefs among players allows for conscientious objections when appropriate. Exploring alternative ways for players to show support for inclusion that align with their beliefs can also be a productive approach.
Reimer expressed his stance on not participating in Pride Warmups: “In this specific instance, I am choosing not to endorse something that is counter to my personal convictions which are based on the Bible, the highest authority in my life. I strongly believe that every person has value and worth, and the LGBTQIA+ community, like all others, should be welcomed in all aspects of the game of hockey.” At first glance, Reimer’s statement might seem hypocritical and internally contradictory. He expresses a belief in the value and worth of every person, including the LGBTQIA+ community, yet chooses not to endorse an event meant to celebrate and support that very community. His actions appear to conflict with his stated belief in welcoming everyone.
However, looking deeper, Reimer’s stance is a reflection of the complexity of balancing personal convictions with professional responsibilities. He views his participation in the event as an endorsement of something that contradicts his personal beliefs, while still wanting to affirm the inherent worth and value of LGBTQIA+ individuals. This dichotomy highlights the challenge many people face in trying to reconcile their personal beliefs with actions that might be seen as supportive or inclusive.
We should encourage empathy from the media and the public, understanding that players are individuals with their own convictions and struggles. Deciding whether to participate in Pride Warmups, like a pacifist’s decision about Military Appreciation Night, is deeply personal. It’s essential to respect the player’s beliefs while encouraging them to find ways to support inclusivity that align with their values. Criticism should be fair and understanding, promoting dialogue and empathy rather than division.
Should Reimer be allowed to sit out on Pride night? Your answer should probably be the same as the answer to « Should the pacifist be allowed to sit out on military appreciation night? »
