Torts publicly backed his decision, which honestly may have been worse because it put a bigger spotlight on the players opting out instead of the event itself. Now it almost feels like they are using it as a stage to spout their stupid opinions.

Very funny that the NHL’s stance is that Russia is making them cancel pride nights meanwhile the majority of players sounding off about it are idiot canadian farm boys

The Eric Staal one hits weird. Eric Staal was a superstar for my local Peterborough Petes when I was like 13, and as a kid without money or talent, he was everything I thought I wanted to be at the time...

The Thunderbirds tweet is encouraging. Seems like the next generation will be better than us.

Ehhhhh

I'm glad some teams are sort of stepping up but I would really like to see people (this goes for the Panthers' statement too) not make excuses for bigots. No, homophobia isn't "an opinion", and people actually are not entitled to such beliefs.

The NHL needs to step in and mandate if they are going to have an inclusivity policy all teams and players have to opt in and the NHLPA also needs to loving step up and cooperate. If anything these players are being given a platform to spread hateful beliefs while the league is silent or at best mealy mouthed. Just loving abandon the policy if you're just going to do nothing about it and dither in your centrist response (neutrality rewards the oppressor). If you were an employee of a major corporation with an inclusivity policy and you tweeted that gay was a choice you'd get terminated for gently caress's sake. Let retirement be the only way these assholes get out of wearing a jersey. gently caress them.

I'm going with the NHL nor the PA will do anything. There will probably be some shrugs. I also don't think your corporate example holds up either, but probably depends on a whole pile of stuff.

Point being it sucks and it isn't surprising and pretty NHL. Again we focus on Provorov and Torts but Dolan seems to have unilaterally nuked the Rangers one... which, of course, means ownership tacitly supports these views and good luck with overcoming that.

Yeah, this.

Like the point of pride initiatives is to make a big show of "it's okay to be yourself and everyone supports you." Having even one person say "no, I don't" undermines the whole thing. It only shows that hate is acceptable.

JUST PICK ONE. ANY ONE.
So, the Predators are 3 points back of a playoff spot with 2 games in hand on the Jets. What do people think about their chances to make it? Seems wild after all the selling off they did at the deadline to think they're this close.

So hilarious to me that in likely their last year in the NHL these idiots decide to torpedo any goodwill they built up over a decade+ all because they didn’t wanna wear a rainbow jersey for a 10 minute warm-up lol

Technically not yet. Magic number down to 2 or 3 for the division and 10 or 11 1st overall. Not sure how the tiebreak scenarios would work but I'd guess the Bruins win those.

Tonight’s jerseys mysteriously aren’t on the auction anymore, not sure if they ever were but presumably it would’ve been noticed before. So now they’re actively taking money from charities because they’re so afraid of someone owning a pride jersey with their names on the back that weren’t ever worn.

Your average mouthbreathing NHL fan is already in the comments section of any given article about this saying poo poo like “WELL WHY DON’T WE HAVE A NAZI APPRECIATION NIGHT WHILE WE’RE AT IT, THEY DESERVE TO FEEL WELCOME TOO” in response to all this.

This poo poo is never going to go away and it loving sucks. I guess I could have kept this short and have just echoed “gently caress the flyers” for really making this the carte blanche response for every future Pride event but yeah, I’m just a lil more wound up bc a transgender boy in my wife’s former school district just killed himself after the school refused to acknowledge his transition/the bullying he had to deal with, and used quotes around his chosen name.

Yea I think they needed to win and for Toronto to lose in regulation as well. As it is now, Toronto could conceivably still win the division if they go 11-0-0 down the stretch and Boston goes 0-11-0

It was talked about a few days ago, but most of the contenders in the west have pretty light schedules down the home stretch, whereas Nashville's is absolutely brutal. Fair play to them if they make it in, but it looks really unlikely.
