I will consider You Can Play a success when we can shut down. When an athlete coming out is a non-story, when we’re not losing young athletes to harassment and fear, and when athletes are judged only by what they bring to the game.

From Puck Daddy:
You Can Play is Burke’s bold new initiative that enlists NHL players — the count is up to around 30 as the campaign kicks off on Sunday — to “change the sometimes homophobic culture of locker rooms with a message that athletes should be judged on athletic skill and ability, not sexual orientation or other discriminatory factors,” according to the organization…
It features the following players: Rick Nash of the Columbus Blue Jackets; Duncan Keith of the Chicago Blackhawks; Brian Boyle of the New York Rangers; Matt Moulson of the New York Islanders; Joffrey Lupul of the Toronto Maple Leafs; Claude Giroux of the Philadelphia Flyers; Daniel Alfredsson of the Ottawa Senators; Scott Hartnell of the Philadelphia Flyers; Corey Perry of the Anaheim Ducks; Andy Greene of the New Jersey Devils; Dion Phaneuf of the Toronto Maple Leafs; and Henrik Lundqvist of the New York Rangers.
It also features Brian and Patrick Burke, carrying on the legacy and preaching the message inspired by the late Brendan Burke, who came out in Nov. 2009 and immediately changed the perceptions for gays in hockey for millions of fans and athletes.
KUDOS KUDOS KUDOS to all involved!

Okay, so last week, some people were upset I tweeted criticism of the Montreal crowd when it cheered a bloodied Zdeno Chara. “What about Boston fans?” they whined. Sunday’s Gary Carter tribute is a perfect example of why that made me so crazy. Even during an awful season complete with embarrassing treatment of Randy Cunneyworth, no franchise shows more class when it matters than Montreal. People expect that from them, because they usually deliver — and spectacularly. So, when the Canadiens (and/or their fans) disappoint, it’s news. It shouldn’t matter what anyone else does, you’re expected to be better. The Canadiens are synonymous with class and it should always be that way.
