The world of hockey was struck by a profound sense of sorrow as news broke of the untimely passing of Adam Johnson at the age of 29. A tragic incident on the ice, where Johnson sustained a severe neck injury from a skate, has not only left the hockey community in shock but also sent ripples through the entire sports world.

As the heart-wrenching news spread, an outpouring of support, thoughts, and prayers flooded in for Johnson's family and friends. The hockey family united in solidarity during this somber time.
In an emotionally charged moment, as the Oilers geared up to face the Flames in the Heritage Classic at Commonwealth Stadium, the NHL made the poignant decision to pay tribute to Adam Johnson's memory with a moment of silence. It was a solemn occasion where the entire hockey world collectively paid their respects to a life tragically cut short.
A Regrettable Interruption
However, amidst the solemnity, a disheartening incident unfolded. The moment of silence was disrupted by the actions of one Oilers fan who, instead of showing respect, shouted,
"Let's go, Oilers!"
during the tribute. This disruption was met with widespread disapproval from hundreds of hockey fans on Twitter and social media.
The incident during the moment of silence serves as a stark reminder that even in our passion for the game, there's a need for respect and empathy. Let it be a lesson for all, as the hockey community grieves the loss of Adam Johnson, that respect and class should always prevail, both on and off the ice.
''the rage i have inside of me hearing the «lets go oilers» during a moment of silence for Adam is insurmountable. it costs $0 to not be a disrespectful, insufferable twat. be better.''
