I still don’t get why NHL teams do this, since the hockey fanbase isn’t into Heated Rivalry. It’s a conservative sport, where star players can and do reject wearing rainbows on Pride Night. Also, it’s become a kiss of death for teams that do this: the Mets put the Pride flag on the jumbotron during the national anthem last year. It was the beginning of the end of their season. For Nashville, well, their Pride Night team change was unintentionally hilarious: they became the gay Predators.
The jokes write themselves here:

Tonight, Nashville’s NHL team will be gay Predators, the band stage will feature a tranny, & the National Anthem will be sung by a Jesus-mocking, queer country band (see below👇🏼)

This isn’t a family-friendly environment.
NHL has to stop pushing this radical LGBTQ agenda. https://t.co/iW2MUDTy8j pic.twitter.com/xk55j3M95c
They lost to the New Jersey Devils 4-2.
Also, it must be exhausting being this miserable:
