Hockey culture used to be much worse.
It's improved dramatically, even if it has a ways to go yet.
Signing up to be a fan of this flawed league full of d-bags and guys with massive egos that still has plenty of old boy club rot at the center of it and then exhibiting shock and disgust when predictable things happen is also silly.
Mom banging rumors are far from the worst thing that's come out of this league/game. Sure it sucks for the bedards and you feel bad but eventually people will move on. It's not the end of their lives or anything.
It's only harmful if you care that deeply about what people think or say. That household is going to be wealthy beyond measure in a few years, I think they'll be just fine when the chatter blows over.
I dunno but compared to the racism, sexual abuse, and denial of representation on the ice, this feels like small beans and those making a fuss maybe need to just step back and save the sensational takes.
