Hall and Oates is illegal in Florida, so broadcasts will dub in random church hymns on those games.

It's the moustache, isn't it?

Been a busy week so maybe I missed something ...but why is the NHL prohibiting pride tape?

Like I get the we won't force anybody to do something ....but prohibition? Did the NHL just get bought by the Mormons?

Do players have to wear special underwear now? ...and no more hot drinks?

Rightly or wrongly, it invites needless political / media turbulence. The league wants to keep its head down and not trigger controversy (which, ironically, is controversial).

Definitely. It makes elderly church-going ladies uncomfortable.... and big truck-driving macho men with tribal tats. Come to think of it, their not-quite-gay vibe is downright terrifying to most Floridians.

It's going to be another Hall and Oates song.

And "Say it Isn't So" by Hall and Oates when the other team scores.

lmao...if I had Bezos money I would buy the Leafs, tease a new goal song...and then do this

Also I would buy Tim Horton's a make a rule you can only order one item at a time, just to watch the world burn.

Doesn't smell like someone took a Santo in here yet so I'll get in and get out quick...


Go LEAFS GO!!! Super excited for this iteration of the Leafs this season.

I've got some high hopes. It's either going to be awesome or the biggest emotional crash ever. Oh the joy of being a Leafs Fan.

Either way fellas, enjoy the season. A lot of fun poop to be seen this year. Hopefully a Cup too.

Could they have not just eliminated pride nights?

If players want to support it in warmups let them ffs.

Cause 7 players cried.

Is the game in Toronto tonight, or do we need to watch some Habs player from 100 years ago pass the torch to some other confused Habs player who would rather be anywhere else while it is going on.

In Toronto, so we get bagpipes

I'd love it if a bunch of marquee players just put pride tape on anyway and dared the league to do something about it. Pay the fine, do it again.

I franking love the 48th Highlanders.

When they play the Maple Leaf Forever, I'm in heaven.

Why are we discussing goal songs and pride tape when we should be discussing the standings.

Leafs have no wins yet.
Not good to look at standings right now

The funny thing is, if I was in the NHL, I wouldn't do it.

I'm OCD about stuff like that, and having different tape in the warmup would frank with my mind.

I know that sounds stupid, but here we are.

They didnt need to "ban" pride tape.
Just stop having pride jerseys.
