I mean I've seen an ad campaign pretty regularly this season with PK Subban addressing hockey being for everyone, does she need more? HNIC has had Punjabi broadcasts for how many years now? Its got to be well over a decade. I also distinctly remember some pre-game messaging around the Black lives matter issue when the Floyd incident was at its peak, its not like the NHL didn't allow it. Very odd to even bring those up in this situation.
Also, why is the entire culture broken because this horrible thing happened? Couldn't it be this was a bad and poorly handled situation by a specific set of people? I get that its an emotional issue but I don't see why the immediate reaction is to just decide the entire enterprise is somehow culpable or corrupt.

Also - do you really think this would have been handled differently if this had happened on every other team?
