Matthew Barnaby Believes The NHL Has Too Many Rules

Matthew Barnaby joins the pod to discuss the NHL and how they have made things difficult for players with all the rules they have.

In a recent episode of the Snipes and Stripes podcast, hosts Tim Peel and Jeremy Roenick were joined by special guest Matthew Barnaby for an engaging discussion on various topics, including Marc-André Fleury's mask and the ever-increasing number of rules in the NHL. 

The trio delved into the controversy surrounding Fleury's mask, which paid tribute to Native Americans, and explored the broader implications of the NHL's stringent regulations. This episode shed light on the ongoing debate over player expression and the league's approach to enforcing rules.

The episode kicked off with a conversation about Marc-André Fleury's mask, which became the center of controversy due to its homage to Native Americans. Fleury's mask was not merely a piece of equipment but a symbolic tribute to a culture, as his wife has Native American heritage. 

The hosts and Barnaby weighed in on the NHL's decision to threaten Fleury with fines for wearing the mask, sparking a broader discussion about the boundaries of expression in the league.
