No, pointing out that how fans perceive and act and talk about their faves can be flawed is NOT the same as saying that "your fave is problematic" -- not least because how one fangirls can be "problematic" even if one's fave isn't, so saying that criticism needs to instead be talking directly to Scrivens or affecting NHL culture is a false equivalence. We're all free to like whomever we want for whatever reason we want. All I've said about others is that maybe we could not take a white male hockey player's good but flawed activism and politics and act like they are more than what they are. If you like Scrivens but aren't doing that, then this isn't about you! If you are doing that... why shouldn't it be pointed out?

I also don't see how pointing out someone's defending of blackface and explaining that it's whitesplaining (and probably part of a bigger trend of -splaining) isn't a criticism of them, even if the point of the comment itself wasn't to go after Scrivens (if anything, people on twitter have already pointed this all out to him, with no results).
