Eh, I just think having differing opinions about hockey teams is fundamentally not the same as having differing opinions about fascist dictators and human rights. Like, being a fan of a team, even being an obnoxious fan, is not a moral thing. Idk I'm sensitive about people trying to interpret what teams/players you root for as a reflection of how good of a person you are, and even though that wasn't your intent it sounds like, the change to your comment from the one you replied to was kinda jarring. I can see people making shitty comments about the P.K. Subban trade and race, for example, as relevant to that convo, if that's what you were referring to by "free agency." But I think the confusion was that it was hard to imagine how people's opinions about free agency or the cup final could be the same kind of bad as supporting Trump.
