How can anyone say this with a straight face? The league had Gretzky and Super Mario at the same time and it didn't make hockey into a household name, at least in America.

Trevor Zegras is not going to make hockey a household name. It is much more likely to drive longtimers away from the game than to bring some giant new base to the league.

Hockey people want to see hockey played by men. Jen Botterill represents a women's hockey POV where they don't hit.

I'm not a fan of fighting whatsoever, but I am a huge fan of hitting. A part of the game that should never go out of the game.
Hockey's a contact sport and as such it is open to physical play and that includes hitting. I don't expect everybody who plays it to hit, but they need to understand that this is the kind of game they play. End of story

You should take a lap - You never played hockey either - so keep your ears and eyes open and your mouth shut .. maybe you will learn something ... also Jen played Girls Hockey -- also different
This stupid boomer gate keeper attitude does nothing for any kind of growth of the game or general discourse.
I played hockey growing up, most of us did. Some at higher levels than others. I didn’t play hockey at a very high level because I was too busy being really good in another sport my frame allowed me to excel at better.
Quit being a dinosaur, it’s an ugly look.

Perhaps some fans should switch to women's hockey ??
