Anyway apparently the NHL just straight up did not have penalties set up or in place for players who actually use the Pride Tape and is now scrambling since a player has done it
I think the argument that the NHL would lose players if they brought back pride jerseys is so funny. Oh no, whatever will we do without noted "guys who are bad at their jobs" Ivan Provorov and James Reiner?

Someone already posted his Protect Trans Kids shirt, but Ally King Jon Merrill hosted a meet and greet for queer fans after the Wild's botched Pride Night and regularly wears Pride merch to support his gay brother-in-law. He's also donated tickets personally to wueer families.
There are 2 types of NHL Captains:
1. Superstar scorer
2. Random guy who has been here forever and is quietly one of the best position players in the game but is unknown outside of the team
@How2Drink
"It was normal for his time" is such a weird idea because like, 1. That doesn't make it okay. 2. Even if it was the norm for certain demographics, there were people who opposed these ideas. And 3. Even for the time I'm pretty sure Lovecraft was really racist.
Other fanbases when an opposing player gets hurt: "eat shit, trash"
Buffalo Sabres fans when an opposing player gets hurt: "I hope he's okay, speedy recovery if not. Let me know if there's a gofundme I should donate too."
I don't care if you're monogamous and don't want to date polyamorous people. But if you're an active poster in a Facebook group devoted to hating on polyamory I assume you're just kind of a loser. Why do you care?
"Players with SA allegations against them are innocent until proven guilty."
My brother in christ I am not a court of law. I can judge them however the fuck I want publically.
@BuffaloSabres
As a Cincinnatian, I hope he is well and recovers. No petty sports rivalry or game even remotely matters in this situation. I know the doctors at UC Medical are some of the best out there, they recently saved my dad's life. He's in good hands. Love to you all.
Is it just me or does Jon Merrill genuinely just seem like a great guy? Like he buys tickets for LGBTQ families to attend Pride Night, he signs pucks for little kids, he supports trans rights. Just seems like a real stand up guy.

Ukko, in his head: "maybe if you motherfuckers did your jobs too, I wouldn't have to work so hard"

Seriously! At Cyclones games I try to catch t-shirts just to give it to the kids in nearby seats, I can't imagine stealing an actual stick, intended for a kid, from the kid.
Who else but the one and only Ally King "Minnesota Muzzy Man 2" JON FREAKIN MERRILL. Such an absolute sweetheart and great guy. Has done a lot for the LGBTQ+ community in the hockey world, and for both of the orgs I play with locally in specific.
@bisexualseguin
Oh 100% but like it is very funny to accuse the guy who's only personality traits is "really good at hockey" of being shit at that. McDavid is the human equivalent of Wonderbread, he's definitely not some secret antifa super soldier lmao

NYPD presenting pride flags is certainly quite a choice by NYR considering NYPD's history in association with the Queer Liberation movement (that is to say, kickstarting it as the bad guys)
