Also, I hate the comment. I am very proud that the NHL has a good reputation for having some very well-spoken athletes, compared to other professional sports. Stuff like this makes the NHL come across as bush league and full of degenerates.

Relax, everyone knows this kind of stuff gets said in every professional sports locker room, this doesn't do anything to make hockey look bush league or full of degenerates.
Also, that's kind of a silly comment about the reporters not caring about the code because they were discussing this quote. They care about the code, that's why they're all ripping Botchford for this. The quote is already out there.
