The NHL’s decision to ban players from wearing specialty jerseys in pre-game warms up is gutless. Pride Night, Military Appreciation, Hockey Fights Cancer, Black History. 99% of players had no issues wearing a specialty jersey. Typical NHL, going 60 Miles per hour in reverse.

Hearing many players are planning to give the middle finger to Gary by supporting special initiatives including Military Appreciation, 1st Responders, People of Color, Indigenous Communities, Pride among others. Players should be free to express themselves or not as they choose.

Scott Laughton says "you'll probably see me with the pride tape on that night anyway." "If they want to say something, they can."

Just found out today my 17 year old daughter is on Twitter. I asked her if she follows me and she said - “Sorry Dad, No. I’ve seen the stuff you tweet and it’s not that interesting.”

Gary is not really NHL “Commissioner”, he’s the PR mouthpiece for 32 owners.

NHL commissioner Gary Bettman's silence so far on Rocky Wirtz's comments last night in Chicago speaks volumes.

Gary’s NHL: Let’s have an All-Star Game with a tradition of 1 player from each team participating in the Game. Let’s have an expansion team in Seattle. Let’s leave Seattle and their incredible fan base with no players going to the All-Star Game.

Dumba: “Why is that (Pride Tape Ban) even a thing? Why did they have to do that in the first place? You'll never get the answers from them…they don't have answers for a lot of things that they (NHL) do. They follow and try to save face."

I have a question that needs to be asked. Why didn’t the Jenner & Block Chicago investigators interview Gary Bettman? What did Gary Bettman know and when did he first know it? Let’s get that on the record.

See the iconic showdown between Ohtani and Trout at WBC? Gary Bettman and the owners have robbed NHL players and the fans of Olympics and World Cups. A generation of NHL stars have never represented their countries best on best. It’s such a lost opportunity for everyone.

It is inconceivable for a NHL player to be cleared after his 19th concussion. My heart aches for what happened to Steve Montador and the impact it had on his friends and family. #NHL #LeagueOfDenial

Gary Bettman in a media availability just now made the ridiculous and wildly false statement there is no tanking in the NHL. Trust me when I tell you, NHL teams would rather finish dead last than miss the playoffs by 2 points. Finishing in 17th place is a disaster.

Will never understand the conventional thinking within many NHL teams that a player has little chance of being an NHL player if not on a roster by 25 years of age. In other sports, a player is just coming into his own at 25, in the NHL, “Eh, he’s done. He has no chance.”

Truly amazing the depths Gary Bettman will go to avoid saying “I was wrong, I made a mistake.”
