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.

I'm from the UK. Hockey to me means the game we played at school.

Ice hockey is different, and needs to be called that if you want people to know what you're talking about

There is always someone from the UK to tell as all what words to use. Even I, a silly American, know hockey means people are on ice. Field hockey should use the full name.

I mean, if you read my comment, I was just adding some international context, not telling anyone they were wrong. So why argue about it with other people? 

Y'all have a nice day now
