I have a hard time believing the NHL culture really cares about Pride Stuff when they only wear the jerseys for like 15 min just for warm ups, along with saying they care after what happened with the Blackhawks scandal.

A player was sexually assaulted, made fun of by other players whom he told happened, top of the brass allegedly knew about all this and just swept it under the rug for years because we were good 10 years ago. This person was protected for years and the NHL did basically nothing to him. To this day, I still refuse to go to or watch Hawks games because of it.

The NHL at the end of the day is a business and it will do anything they can to capitalize on things as long as they sell more tickets. So while I was happy that the Hawks were a dynasty all those years ago, those years just feel tainted to me.
