"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."
"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."
The Caps-Oilers open thread provides a communal place for people to gather during a difficult global moment. The world is a very scary and very sad place right now. Sporting events are acknowledged as intertwined with politics and the events of the world. Hockey and other sports are not immune to those forces, nor should they be, yet they can offer a temporary escape for those who need relief. Participants can choose to focus on the game or to use the space for emotional support and distraction from current events. Administrative notes follow for those joining to watch the game.
