"The world is a very scary, very sad place right now. While hockey games, and sports in general, are not immune to politics and the events of the world (nor should they ever be), they can sometimes serve as a temporary escape. If you need that tonight...we see you. If you would prefer to ignore the hockey and focus on other things, we see you, too."
"Right this way to your Caps-Oilers open thread...or just a place to be in a community, if that's what you need tonight."
"For those of you in the former camp, some admin stuff:"
An open Caps-Oilers game thread provides a communal place for people seeking company or distraction. The world is described as frightening and sad, and sports are acknowledged as connected to politics and global events. Hockey and other sports are not immune to external events and should not be separated from them. Sports can offer temporary relief for those who need a break tonight. Support is extended both to people who want the game as an escape and to those who prefer to focus on other matters. Administrative details follow for participants planning to engage.
