Wayne Gretzky Makes a Bold Claim Regarding The Tragic Death of Adam Johnson
Former Pittsburgh Penguins player Adam Johnson is being mourned by the hockey world in solidarity.
What happened to Johnson has divided hockey fans and pundits around the world over whether it was intentional or not.
«Why take it off? Leave the neck guards on»
The NHL on TNT panel reflects on the death of Adam Johnson and discusses whether NHL players should wear neck guards as an additional safety measure.
Wayne Gretzky called the death a "so-called" "accident" when the TNT Panel decided to address the idea of mandating neck guards.
As his words reverberate throughout the hockey community, the great one will bring lots of eyes and ears to bear on the topic. The sarcasm he used to suggest this wasn't an accident may have been construed as harmful, as the investigation is ongoing.
While EIHL players disagree, Gretzky joins the irresponsible chorus of those who weren't on the ice, claiming this wasn't an accident.
