Canadian Captain Barrett Hayton didn't remove his helmet for the Russian anthem

[eviohh26]

Not a great look. Looks good on him to lose 0-6 after pulling some disrespect.

This is a thread of people complaining about a kid not taking off his hat while a song played. You guys are losing your minds.

Eh, it's not like one 10-year old in the crowd forgot to take off his ballcap. It's the captain of the opposing team that just got humiliated on the ice, right? It's getting an appropriate response, I'd say.

At 19 you can Drink . Smoke. Vote. goto jail. He is no longer a kid .

You already made this ignorant comment once, and then neglected to respond to anybody who called you out for it the first time.

Considering that and the fact that you just created the account, I'm gonna bet you live under a bridge, huh?

 

[NyQuil]

Did they all refuse to shake his hand in the lineup too?

A few of them did.

The Russian captain pointed to his own helmet as he met Hayton in the line.

This worth 100 classless Subbans?

Embarrassed by this as a Coyotes fan. Seems out of character for him but he played poorly and they got blown out. The answer is not to pout like a child. His parents raised him better than that.

Feigning ignorance postgame is even worse. Own it.

Is that gif the only look at it? Because you can't even see him, it's entirely possible he just didn't realize the situation. If he intentionally left it on to make a point, yeah, not a great look, but not sure how we can tell from that clip.

 

[NyQuil]

They will ask him to apologize and it's it. Unlike HNIC the IIHF are reasonable people.

Don Cherry says he would not apologize as condition for return

It's not like it's the Kennedy assassination video.

He either has his helmet on for the entire song or he doesn't. There's no speculation as to whether it was on or not.

Did he forget to remove it after the game on the 26th? No excuses, apologize and move on.

He knew exactly what he was doing. The Russians brought it up during the anthem and during the handshake line, he still tried to pretend like he didn't know what the big deal was postgame. Pathetic.

What's dumb is that PR 101 is to just apologize immediately and the story goes away.

 

[WingsMJN2965]

I wonder if this shows up anywhere in Chayka's advanced stats...

 

[PG Canuck]

Embarrassing.

 

[MrHeiskanen]

Not a good move Hayton.

 

[PG Canuck]

Yes what an idiot. Let’s bully a teenager again like last year.

At least it would be deserved this time. He’s old enough to show some respect.

 

[DuklaNation]

All the focus is on Hayton and not the embarrassing loss. Slick move.

 

[Do Make Say Think]

Russians are the last ones who can call out anyone's lack of class.

Poor form from Hayton but Russians have no ground to stand on regarding class. Everybody looks bad.

 

[canswetoxic]

It's okay when we do it (sarcasm)

 

[NyQuil]

He's a way better leader than we thought!

 

[WetcoastOrca]

Meh. Young kid does something dumb in the heat of the moment.

Well, they handled this with class.

They didn't punch him in the handshake line or anything.

 

[Vagrant]

An unfortunate reflection of our times is this bizarre propensity for mind-reading and deriving conclusions based on zero evidence whatsoever.

what evidence do you need? the kid left his lid on during the anthem to protest the opposing team. how much further do you need walked to the point?

 

[Sidney the Kidney]

No excuse for that, especially from the captain. Win with class, lose with class.
