I don’t know how the NHL manages to screw up so much of this social issue stuff, but here we are again.

If you can wrap a rainbow tape on your stick you DAMN sure better be able to wear something as significant as this, especially when it comes to the person wearing it’s own family.

Dumb league management.

Fuck Bettman and his groups of owners of this is the hill the want to die on. They didn’t say shit about Greiss’s “SS” nazi helmets MAF is the man, and all he was doing was show respect.

Your move, Buttman.

Dang.
It’s easy to take a stand when you have nothing to lose. But he’s risking the record for being second all time in wins over this.

> Love it. Freedom of speech has to work both ways. If you don’t want to participate, you shouldn’t be forced to – but to muzzle players from freedom of expression is wrong.
Go Flower Go.

Fleury is the biggest savage of the NHL fuck Bettman!

There we go boys. MAF coming in clutch. You love to see it.

Can’t wear a helmet designed by an Indigenous person to honour Indigenous culture and, specifically, his wife, and yet the Blackhawks have a caricature of a Chief as their logo that is pretty much universally deemed inappropriate by the Indigenous community. NHL needs to figure it out.

Let the NHL fine him. They’re not just going to lose this PR battle. This is going to be far worse than the pride jersey stuff.

The NHL is still going to sit here and wonder why their viewership is such shit despite the players and the public showing them what they want

Beautiful mask. And surprisingly it goes really well with the old retro colours

What’s the controversy here? The decorations are elegant, and the mask is a regular goalie mask. I don’t get it.

He’s fucking MAF. The league is powerful, but not as strong as fans, social media, and followers. I love that he did this!

All the social issues troubles the league has now is all thanks to:
James Reimer Eric, Jordan & Marc Staal Old, Rich, White executives

Hats off to Fleury for doing it.

You love to see it.
Edit: When you stand for nothing, you’ll fall for anything.

Good for him

Awesome move Fleury.

Good. Bettman is the worst. Can’t wait for him to be out so we can have someone who is actually interested in growing the sport.
HenryAlSirat
These NHL owners are a bunch of losers and should be embarrassed how they’ve handled literally every social/morality issue that’s come across their desks. I’m glad Flower defied them, and by doing so clearly just *dared* them to fine him.

Fucking awesome dude, stand for yours👍🏽

And that’s why everyone loves flower. 🌸

This went beyond the mask. It became about his wife and kids. After that it was no question what he was going to do. Respect.

Good. Bettman can take a hike.

NHL is pathetic when it comes to social and cultural issues. Hats off the Fleury!

How does the NHL ALWAYS get these things wrong? They never end up on the right side of any of these things unless they are publicly panned beforehand. It’s insane.

During the 1985 season, NFL commissioner Pete Rozelle fined Bears legendary quarterback Jim McMahon $5,000 for wearing an Adidas headband during a game. McMahon responded by wearing a headband with “ROZELLE” written on it in the NFC Championship Game. Then in the Super Bowl, he wore headbands representing charities and a friend who had been ill. McMahon also wore an Adidas headband around his neck that day. The best way for legendary future Hall of Fame goalie Marc Andre Fleury to deal with this is to wear the mask and tell Gary Bettman to shove it up his ass.

Then they sat him. Guaranteed intentional
