What's sad is that the player needed anonymity in order to make a statement that should not be considered the least bit controversial.

4 Nations Face-Off opening night ratings​

TNT announced that the Canada-Sweden opener averaged 1 million viewers Wednesday night on its platforms. The network said the game was the most-watched TNT hockey telecast this season and the most-watched non-playoff hockey game of all time on its MAX streaming service. The NHL said that including Canadian viewership, the North American average was 4.1 million.
 
The NHL Four Nations Face-Off delivered another impressive audience Thursday night as the United States played its first game.

Thursday’s United States-Finland NHL Four Nations Face-Off game averaged a 0.75 rating and 1.55 million viewers on ESPN, marking easily the largest NHL-affiliated audience of the season. The previous high was 1.27 million for Golden Knights-Bruins on ABC last weekend, and the previous high for ESPN was 790,000 for Bruins-Panthers on Opening Night.

Excluding Stanley Cup playoff games, the United States’ win was the most-watched NHL-affiliated game on any network since the January 2023 Winter Classic on TNT (Penguins-Bruins: 1.78M).

The game ranked second for the night among sportscasts behind the NASCAR Duel at Daytona on FS1 (1.84M), though it easily outdrew older-skewing NASCAR among adults under 50. It topped the competing Grizzlies-Timberwolves NBA game, which drew 1.11 million on TNT (plus additional viewership on truTV that was not immediately available).

The Four Nations Face-Off already accounts for two of the five largest NHL audiences this season, with Wednesday’s Canada-Sweden matchup on TNT ranking fifth (1.05M). The other three games all aired on ABC: the aforementioned Golden Knights-Bruins, Rangers-Bruins the prior Saturday (1.06M) and Rangers-Capitals on January 4 (1.06M).

With the event replacing the NHL All-Star Game on this season’s schedule, it should be

Being "the most watched NHL broadcast" is a low bar. Most NHL broadcasts aren't watched at all.
 
Yeah, I get if a person doesn't care... But to say it's meaningless is just stupid.

Like, I don't care about the World Cup at all... Soccer is meaningless to me... But the players care about it, so it can't be meaningless.
