Sounds like the bubble players had an all hands on deck meeting with the HDA. Not sure where NHLPA stands on it, but this was a player driven initiative.

Felt hollow when league made the no context cancelation announcement, but these clarifications indicate its more substantial.
Coaches gonna coach, I get it, glad the players stood up at least. Felt hollow when the initial reports coming out implied the league was canceling the games.

Good to hear it sounds like real conversation is being had, and not just do the thing cause we feel embarrassed now.
I retweeted it a few posts down, but quote tweeting it again for context. Good on the players and the HDA for reaching out and taking the lead on this. https://twitter.com/evanderkane_9/status/1299062937139646464?s=19">https://twitter.com/evanderka...
I get it, information filters slowly, especially for people who arnt wired into the internet 24/7, which I feel we forget as a society, many arnt.

Seeing a lot of rush to judgement now days, gotta break the story first.
Information is often slow, its fair to give people the benefit of the doubt when they don& #39;t have the whole picture. The important thing is where we go once that picture is filled in.

The players seem to be doing that today, finally. Lets hope its reflected in meaningful change.
#blm Take a stand, push the conversation. Always be pushing.

NBA did that, and it may have opened the minds of fellow athletes in the rest of the leagues. People are paying attention.

Dont let the conversation go away just cause its a one day thing.
Further context as this is an evolving story. Information slow because of the bubble. https://twitter.com/sidsoriginaljaw/status/1299066623349927938?s=19">https://twitter.com/sidsorigi...

Hockey players often are insulated by the environment they grew up and continue to play in, anyone who played or follows the sport knows as well as anyone else.

Why its all the more important they take this time to reflect as many other leagues are doing and not just the day off

The league has two days now to fill air time in. Hopefully they take this time to reflect and use their platform the players have given them. https://twitter.com/ShutdownLine/status/1299047888610308098?s=19">https://twitter.com/ShutdownL...
