Last night's game between the Toronto Maple Leafs and the Columbus Blue Jackets was one for the ages. The Leafs celebrated their annual Pride Night in style, making history by hosting a daring drag show during the intermission, marking the first time that an NHL team has ever done so.

Drag Show Met With Mixed Reactions

Despite the team's impressive 4-2 win over the Blue Jackets, it was the drag show that got everyone talking on social media. While some fans applauded the team for their inclusive efforts and for creating a welcoming environment for underrepresented groups in the sport, others expressed disappointment and frustration with the team's decision to hold a controversial event amidst the many Pride Night cancellations.

Interestingly, the Maple Leafs chose not to wear Pride jerseys during the warm-up, a decision that left some fans perplexed. While wearing a jersey seems like a less radical move compared to hosting a drag show, the team opted for a bold approach.

It's clear that the Toronto Maple Leafs are not afraid to take risks and challenge the status quo in the sports world. It remains to be seen how their decision to host a drag show during Pride Night will impact the team and the sport as a whole.
