The hockey community has been in mourning following the tragic passing of Adam Johnson. Many teams and players have taken steps to potentially prevent similar incidents in the future. However, not everyone is convinced that Johnson's death was accidental.
It comes as no surprise that the incident has become a topic of discussion, even reaching national TV. On a recent TNT broadcast, there were suggestions on social media that Johnson's death may not have been an accident.
When Wayne Gretzky, one of the NHL's greatest players, was asked about the incident, he referred to Johnson's passing as a 'so-called accident.'
It's possible that Gretzky and TNT aimed to maintain a neutral stance in the conversation. However, considering the emotional turmoil that the other players on the ice may be experiencing, suggesting such a thing to a broad audience is potentially dangerous.
Ultimately, Gretzky may need to clarify his comments, especially given the strong reactions on social media.
