It appears that the offseason allows NHL teams to spend more time replying to fans on Twitter, and that’s not necessarily good news for all fans.
It certainly wasn’t good news for Kaylee G, a young Red Wings fan who aspires to one day marry a Red Wings player. Not too out of the ordinary, there are plenty of young (and not-so-young) girls who would certainly fancy a relationship with a pro hockey player. Hell, even I would probably date a pro hockey player given the chance.
But the Red Wings decided to shoot poor Kaylee’s dreams down:
I’ll be honest, I laughed when I first saw the response. It’s a pretty amusing response and, honestly, solid life advice. A young girl should aspire to greater things than just marrying a man, especially one who will likely be missing several teeth. But, in the grand scheme of things, this tweet was pretty ordinary and harmless…not to mention Kaylee didn’t say that marrying a Wings player was her ONLY life goal.
So publicly putting her on blast and basically “slut shaming” her might not have been the best decision on the team’s part, especially considering the vulgar responses she got after being called out were enough to make her delete her account entirely.

Might be a good idea for the team to reach out and make things right.
