Washington Capitals forward Alex Ovechkin may not be the most liked player in the NHL, but he found a way to endear himself to a lot of the game's fans.
On Saturday night, the Capitals and Florida Panthers faced off, with Washington holding its annual Pride Night before the game. (Cue the justified boos and eye rolls).
That means that many players decided to put rainbow tape on their sticks as a show of support. But Ovechkin, and several others, decided not to. They skated onto the ice with their sticks looking normal as most reasonable people would do.
Martin Fehervary, Ryan Leonard, Aliaksei Protas, Brett Leason, and Charlie Lindgren were the other players who followed Ovechkin’s example.
Many NHL players have stood against this agenda for the past few years. In January 2023, then-Flyers defenseman Ivan Provorov decided not to partake in the pride festivities, and that sparked a wave of players deciding to do the same. The message is clear: the vast majority of players don’t care to support this agenda.
We always have to ask why these players are forced to support it in the first place, other than to make a bunch of liberals feel happy.
The Capitals would end up losing this game 5-2, but these players’ combined effort to stand up to this tired nonsense was the more important win.
Keep hockey woke-free!

Ovechkin?
At least someone has to go to the net.
[Same for Soccer, as I used to try to get my kids to do....]
Oh, God.
As a Flyers fan this is hard.
I’m supposed to be genetically predisposed to hate (and I mean, **** H-A-T-E ****) the Capitals. I still have memories of Sjell Samuellson banging his stick against the wall at the Flyers bench because a Capitals player pissed him off in a major way.
And then you post this. You’re killing me, here.

Be cool if they painted their sticks black too
It all starts somewhere. Tyler Perry dressing like a black grandma. Now here we are. Someone needed to put a stop to it. Good on Alex. My 5 year old grandson looks up to him.
HOORAY Alex!
good news. Buy his jersey!!
I wouldn’t blame “pride” on Tyler Perry’s comedy movies.
Like expelling Anna Netrebko from the Met!
Come into the misty world of Alex Worship.
All of pain disappears (as does your Goalie’s talent)
All kneel before scraggly faced Alex.
Homo “festivities “
Ewww…I’ll pass.
Dad was a partial season ticket holder of the Great Late Whalers...
What a misogynist xenophobic homophobe. /SARCASM
Good for the players to stand up to that indoctrination. It has no place in the NHL.
Amen!! It’s good to see!
✝️✝️🙏🙏🛐🛐
Atta boy, Alex.
