Can’t say I’m saddened by the no lqjdhtq jerseys
Good grief, what is possibly wrong with the arena Ottawa plays in now? Teams are like cell phone manufacturers. Always wanting a new building every year. Puh-lease
Please let that mean that there will be no more rainbow bullshit jerseys. It's the embarrassment of the league. Have sex with who you choose to, but shining a light on who you have sex with at a hockey game out of all places, is quite simply insane. NO MORE!
I think most of us just wanted the pride jerseys to go
I wonder if there is any connection between the NHL stopping theme jerseys (to include pride) and the Qatar soveriegn buying a part of the Caps….
Bring Toffoli back to MTL!!! Loved that guy
Theme nights are what they are. I’m glad the warm up jerseys and the negative bullshit put on those choosing not to wear them, are gone. If this is all about inclusion, forcing people to participate kinda defeats that purpose.
Glad the POZ jerseys are gone
Pride ruined something else
Glad they got rid off them! If your not going to wear it all game don’t bother!
Saudi and Qatar are trying to sportswash their reputations as human rights violators. Both countries are horrific places and their money should be avoided at all costs.
Flames gonna need some influx with so many seeming to be on the way out.
Leafs and Canucks both had incredible Indigenous Night jerseys last season and hopefully they will continue those next year even if only for retail (which it was too bad they didn't have them for retail–aside from auction–already)
It's like when you were in school. All but one of the kids was acting respectfully so the teacher lectures the whole class.
Too bad nhl didn't drop their divisive specialty nights. Politics in hockey is a horrible idea.
I really don't get why we can't help everyone feel included? There are a lot of die hard hockey fans in my life who appreciated the visibility of specialty jerseys (plus other related initiatives), because they never felt fully accepted by hockey culture. That might be surprising to a lot of NHL fans, but yes, there are people who do not feel included. This move is just confirming that they are not. We need to stop appeasing bigotry and hate. People who insist on being exclusionary are the reason we can't have nice things.
B.S. on the warm up jerseys thing. it's just a way to avoid the bad press of homophobic players refusing to wear jerseys so they can sell the league to LGBT people and bigots alike
Have always wanted a new york rangers cancer warm up jersey as sister and mum passed with it
This is lame
If the LGTB are going to label Christian players as racists and biased because they refuse to wear the pride shirt, I am all for the ban on them!
Bummed by the NHL making this choice.
The NHL has really turned into a clown show in the last couple years
Get rid of the silly jerseys that have no place on the backs of NHL players. They are not billboards.
This especially true of "the cause" jerseys. And even though McDavid said it was the right thing to do, I doubt he or most players who wore the stupid things even know what "the cause" is. I personally think the cause is about brainwashing our kids and getting them as confused as possible. It's also about infiltrating sports, schools, churches, businesses, you name it. And here's something else you can take to the bank. That community represents around 1% of the 334 million in this country … it's the news that wants you to think they're more than that.
It’s not “all is was”. If a player didn’t want to buy a themed jersey, Pride in particular, the player was hammered on social media. Nobody wants nonsense thrown down their throats. Why is this so complicated, oh I know. The Pride Mafia.
I’m all for the Pride events as a volunteer expression
WHY WOULD WE GET RID OF TOFFOLI????
This is fucking ridiculous.
I'm glad the nhl is getting rid of the distraction of political hot button issues/ jerseys
Sad day when the bigots win.
Understand why the league did it. Little ridiculous the backlash against them in my opinion.

Alphabet mafia ruined it for everyone else. Not surprised.
It’s amazing that the people who are furious that teams had pride jerseys are the same people that are furious when someone says Happy Holidays.
I think getting rid of the compelled wearing of the themed jerseys by the players is about the happiest medium they could've done. I think most players that had an issue with them felt that being forced to put the symbolism on their bodies was the threshold of going too far. Most people understand that others may have a differing opinion than them and they obviously need to be okay with that for the sake of harmony but what one puts on their body has always had meaning and that spans across all world cultures.
The best deckles are sold in the sowthern part of Catter.
I agree with Gary on this one.
Good for Joey Anderson. I liked him when he was on the Devils but the trade for Johnsson made sense. And Johnsson helped the Devils get Meier. So there's that.
Based
Yet they promote gambling…
Will the World Juniors be played at the Ottawa Civic Centre, or Canadian Tire? So the new arena will actually be at Lebreton Flatts, and no more Bayview talk?
Good, I'm good with all jerseys just being jerseys. Hockey is hockey, nothing more, nothing less. Be as neutral as possible, nobody can complain.
Leave it to the abc mafia to make it where the NHL will no longer participate in things that actually need to be celebrated
The NHL did the right thing here.
I hope the Oilers switch to the Turtle Island jersey as their third jersey. I want one.
BUT it would be much more fun if they changed their third jersey to a pride jersey. Take that NHL.
Jerseys were ugly anyway lol
