On Saturday night, Anaheim Ducks forward Trevor Zegras said something to Arizona Coyotes defenseman Troy Stecher that set him off. On Sunday, Stecher declined to comment, but a tweet by Brad Marchand stirred up questions around the league: what did Zegras say and did it cross a line? What’s considered inappropriate and too far when it comes to chirps on the ice?

Non issue. We chirp
I'm all for player safety. I'm all for fighting racism, preventing someone from making personal threats, or acting in a way that isn't related to the sport.
Policing what someone is saying outside of those instances seems like the overstep to me. The NHL doesn't need an HR department on the ice.
Let’s Go Ducks!!! 🦆🏒🧡🖤
This should be a non issue. Turns out that players are people and not all of them want to be emotionless robots. I know the geezers in the league don't like this, but this just isn't the 1992 NHL. Can we not freak out every time a player says something potentially spicy.
