This Rangers/Blue Jackets game is bat shit crazy so far. in the first 15 minutes of the game we have had 3 goals that were overturned.

The NHL has banned Pride Tape, creating its own ‘Don’t Say Gay’ policy on the ice - Outsports

The NHL has banned Pride Tape and Pride jerseys, in addition to issuing a disaster memo about LGBTQ and other initiatives. Hockey is not for everyone.

Yeah this is total horseshit. I get why from a business perspective, almost a third of their players come from East European countries that are some estimation of homophobic and anti-LGBTQ but the NHL is now limiting its growth and making it so a whole group of people might not want to watch it now.

Fuck anyone who is Anti-LGBTQ and keep fighting on. If I were an NHL player I'd keep doing it. Fuck the commissioner and the haters.

@Frankensteiner

Thoughts on Kaprizov, Marco Rossi, and Brock Faber being on the same team. Me thinks Wild have three all-stars in the making.

Well Duhaime and Dewar got two shorthanded goals within 28 seconds of each other.

Zuccarello may still get one tho.

Another fun fact. This game is apparently only the 2nd time in NHL history two Montreal-born goalies have faced off against one another in Montreal. The first time was in 2006, with... Marc-Andre Fleury also involved.
