Who would have thought that pussifying the game, eliminating the 2-line pass, calling Don Cherry racist and replacing him with a diverse gender-balanced panel of reporters who know nothing about the game, embracing BLM and kneeling for the national anthems, and having the only 2 black people in the league call hockey, hockey players and hockey fans racist would backfire?
Being an NHL fan is out-of-reach of the average Canadian. A Leafs jersey costs $250, and a ticket costs about that. So if you want to buy your kid a jersey and go to a game, that will cost $1000. Before taxes.
If you can even get a fucking ticket.
Junior Hockey costs less than a third of that, and the players actually want to play and care about their community.
Fuck the NHL. This year was the last straw.
