Last offseason, Gary Bettman made it clear he did not want any controversy so he decided to ban Pride Tape. Many players were unhappy with this decision and last night defenseman Travis Dermott openly defied Bettman by using Pride Tape on the shaft of his stick.
Everybody now thinks that Bettman will hand Dermott a hefty fine but the NHL rule book may have protected Dermott from any fine.
Rule 10.1 of the NHL rule book reveals that players are allowed to use tape of any color which means Pride Tape should be allowed under the NHL rule book.
It is unknown what Bettman will do following this revelation but we are all but certain that Bettman will try to do his best to ensure that Dermott pays for defying him.
