Whatever, good hockey player but the guy was always a huge dbag...even in Calgary if we are being honest. Its not a shock king dbag is his hero. Hopefully its not them and the Oilers again.
I'd bet all of the US players and even a healthy amount of Canadian players are Trumpers. These guys are detached from reality, they live a fantasy life. They don't think any of this will ever impact them.

Tkachuck I understand (I don't like it) but I understand why he'd be thrilled with visiting this whitehouse. I actually dont think he has any awareness of what's going on politically or what it means. To be fair he'd might react the same regardless of the ruling party.

Canadian players -- I know they make a living in the US, but I'm surprised no Canadian player has ever had anything to say about how this administration has treated Canada. But NHL players are typically not the type to ever say anything.

Its always up to NBA guys to start speaking out.
