BREAKING: The NHL Comments On Player Who Used Pride Tape

During Saturday's game, fans noticed that Arizona Coyotes defenseman Travis Dermott had pride tape on his stick, and it quickly made the rounds, with many expecting a fine to be levied his way soon.

Now, the NHL has officially responded to the veteran's actions, releasing a statement shortly after the game concluded.

Ultimately, it was a foolish rule to begin with, as players should be able to express themselves, and the NHL have handled the whole situation poorly, so it will be interesting to see how they handle in from here on out.
