Wayne Gretzky (now known in Canada as "the Great Once") catching a hockey game with Kash Patel.

He's drank deeply of the MAGA koolaid.

Yes, there are some celebrity women drinking the Kool Aid, but their numbers pale in comparison to the dickhead dumbfuck Trumpy bros.

I'm beyond sick of it.

It's best to learn to be able to be disappointed and write them off.

They stopped being your hero a long time ago.

BTW, the "great one" would've never gotten there without the likes of Semenko and McSorley. What's he done for them? I don't know, just asking.

It was quite the night for Alex Ovechkin in Washington as the GR8 one tied the Great One with his 894th career goal with Wayne Gretzky in attendance.

But a lot of hockey fans were asking the same question about the person sitting with Gretzky and NHL commissioner Gary Bettman: was that ... Kash Patel sitting with them? As in the new director of the FBI under Donald Trump?

The answer is: yes. We're not sure if Gretzky and Patel are friends or if it was just somebody in the world of politics going to what turned out to be a historic game in Washington D.C. We do know that Gretzky has supported Trump and has gotten a lot of backlash from Canadians.

But, yeah. That was him.
