*And people are wrong about urban myths. Logic and reason say that these are fictional creations, retold again and again by people who are hungry for evidence of weird coincidence, natural justice and so on. They aren’t. They keep on happening all the time, everywhere, as the stories bounce back and forth across the universe ... Urban myths are alive.

I cannot even tell you how much that quote stinks like a pile of shit (edit: audio of this quote)

From the video below this was the mother's message to gary bettman:

“In many ways, being the first overall pick is much like being chosen by a Satanic cult to give birth to the son of Satan.”

NHL: cultural herritage = NO!

Also NHL: 97 years of cultural appropriation = YES!

Bettman: Ovi, Sid. Look. You two are some of the greatest players out there, you have a legendary rivalry, and we really need you BOTH to make an effort this year to attend and make the 2023 All Star Game relevant.

Ovechkin: Meh.

Crosby: Eh.

Bettman: Seriously. We will do whatever we need to make this happen. Anything you want.

Ovechkin & Crosby: Anything?

Bettman: Anything.

Ovechkin: Okay. But only if my kid gets to come, suit up, do whatever he wants, and also win the breakaway challenge event.

Crosby: ...Also I wanna be in a dunk tank.

Ryan Adamczewski at The Advocate:

The National Hockey League banned players from wearing themed jerseys during warm-ups, but they didn't say anything about wearing them before warm-ups. That's the loophole that the New Jersey Devils are exploiting as the organization marks its LGBTQ+ Pride night on Thursday. The team announced ahead of their game against the Edmonton Oilers that the specially-designed jerseys would be "worn during player arrivals," in an apparent bypass of the league's new policies. NHL teams added LGBTQ+ Pride to their seasonal theme nights in recent years, which also include events such as Black History, military appreciation, and Hockey Fights Cancer. On these nights, players would wear jerseys corresponding with the theme while they warmed up, which would later be auctioned off with the proceeds going to related charities. Just seven players refused to wear pride jerseys last year, citing their own personal beliefs. Some teams responded to the PR backlash by taking the choice away from players and removing Pride jerseys entirely. NHL Commissioner Gary Bettman and the league's Board of Governors decided to nix themed jerseys entirely at the end of the 2022-2023 season, with Bettman calling them a "distraction." NHL players are now forbidden from wearing themed gear during warm-ups, with players who break the rules getting threatened with fines. No player so far has actually been penalized for disobeying the policy, including Travis Dermott, who donned rainbow Pride tape before the league reversed its ban on that specific item.

Good move by the Devils.
