Dylan Larkin Booed on Opening Night

Clip credit u/daKrut

Context: Dylan Larkin was the captain of the Detroit Red Wings and requested a trade, while having a no-trade clause, and originally limited the team to 3 options to where he would agree to be traded to. He has since been stripped of the captaincy and has largely turned the entire fanbase against him. Had he not made such an unreasonable request for a trade, he would likely have not faced such harsh backlash.

After googling him, he plays ice hockey, not just hockey.

Yeah it’s safe to assume it’s ice hockey when someone just says hockey.

To be fair to the guy getting downvoted, hockey originated being played on a field similar to how soccer is played. Field hockey is brutal and beautiful, but more spread out and less explosive as ice hockey.

Ok, but field hockey is nowhere near as popular despite its origins in the 1800s
