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.

As an Australian, I have to say that when someone says hockey, it's not ice hockey that springs to mind. Ice hockey looks awesome but we just don't have it over here shrugs

It is pretty great, I’m shocked it hasn’t made its way there in a major way with how popular it is across so much of the world. Even the parts of America that never see ice have die hard hockey fans

We have the reigning champs here in Raleigh. It snows three times a year if it’s a particularly cold winter.
