No P.K.?
“I’m not black, I’m P.K.”
Gonna hit PK ego hard.
Lowkey I didn’t even realize PK wasn’t apart of this
But it makes sense if you think about knowing PK and how other black players talk about race issues in hockey.
i remember before when joel ward was thinking of kneeling for the national anthem he said it was talked about in the black whatsapp group chat and pk wasnt apart of that
here it is

PK isn't even in the black NHL player group chat@Supreme Leader Reinscarf @Jamal514 @JLova @Miggs @MVike28 @Patrick Kane Salute to these brehs though and salute to Ward for being the elder statesman.
It’s lonely living among hockey’s silent majority: Arthur | Toronto Star
Joel Ward of the San Jose Sharks saw that and said he would consider it, too. He sent a text to four other GTA-area Black players: Philadelphia’s Wayne Simmonds — who had also opened the door to protest — Edmonton’s Darnell Nurse, Minnesota’s Chris Stewart, and Devante Smith-Pelly of the Washington Capitals. Ward wanted to make something clear: If any of them were asked about it, be sure they knew the root of any protest meant something.
“Just making sure the point stays the point,” says Smith-Pelly, a Scarborough native. “It’s not about disrespecting the flag or the military. It’s about equality and justice and black kids getting killed, and no justice happening over and over and over again. He just wanted to make sure we understood that. I think we did.”
Another good part:
A strain of racism has always lurked in hockey. Simmonds had a banana thrown at him during an exhibition in London, Ont., in 2011; Ward has talked about the racism he has faced in and out of the sport; Smith-Pelly was at his first rookie tournament in Penticton, B.C., when he was coming off the ice and heard, “Go back to playing basketball!” He tried to go into the stands. Nobody asked him about it afterward. Still, someone might say stay out of it, you’re Canadians.
“I don’t get that argument,” says Smith-Pelly, 25. “Well, I mean I get it because they don’t understand what it’s about. It’s about people who look like me, who look like Joel, who look like all of us being killed, over and over, and nothing happening. It’s not an American-Canadian thing at all.”
Smith-Pelly ethered Subban:
“He should know better than anyone else,” says Smith-Pelly. “How many times has he gone into Boston? I’m sure he’s heard disgusting things. It’s just . . . I don’t know, maybe he’s trying to protect his brand or whatever, but at the same time, this is bigger, it’s more serious than that.”
