You’re keen on hockey, however sadly, the very best league on the earth, the Nationwide Hockey League, isn’t the very best when it comes to administration.
Certainly, most of the time (particularly recently), the NHL doesn’t have unbelievable credibility within the eyes of followers and on the earth of sports activities typically.
As a result of it makes slightly doubtful selections, just like the one yesterday, whenit threatened Marc-Andrè Fleury with a fine, or the Wild, if he wore his mask in honour of his spouse and the American First Nations.
It’s a totally ridiculous risk, should you ask me, and Marc-André Fleury understood it.
He wore his masks with out embarrassment final night time through the Wild’s warm-up earlier than serving his position as auxiliary goaltender on the Wild bench for the remainder of the sport.

In brief, the NHL seems to be loopy once more, simply because it did after refusing to permit Golde Knights goalie Logan Thompson to wear a cancer ribbon on his mask , or when it didn’t even crack down on Travis Dermott for wearing a rainbow-coloured ribbon on his stick.
