The advertising is indeed ridiculous. I don't do any gambling other than the odd Powerball ticket when it gets over a billion, yet my Twitter feed has become absolutely inundated with sports gaming ads. I also get a couple slick flyers a week in the mail. Throw in all the gambling TV ads during hockey games, combined with the animated dasherboard ads for gambling, and, yeah, I feel it is being pushed down our throats. Canadian broadcasts are actually worse on this issue than most North American broadcasts. Interesting how pro sports leagues have become so blatantly tied-in with gambling. Back in the day such a thing would have been frowned upon big time. All about milking people for as much money as possible.LOL
fwiw i hate gambling, hate draft kings etc, I think it's all disgusting and disgusting how it's all being pushed down our throats. I got flyers in the mail the other day for it, just more paper and ink being wasted/poisoning the earth all in the name of crony capitalism. No thanks.
You know what? I don't even think this is funny.
It sounds like this is a bit more than a guy throwing a bet on the under in the Jazz-Wizards game. Seems like there’s more to the story.You know what? I don't even think this is funny.
This is seriously f***ed up.
If he was betting thru someone else it's gotta be more than just something simple, one and done like you just stated. 'They' must've had more reason to look further into him I would think.It sounds like this is a bit more than a guy throwing a bet on the under in the Jazz-Wizards game.

No shit . We don't know what Pinto did but I don't want to think about what would justify a suspension of this magnitude , but I'd bet my house it doesn't even come anywhere close to that.You know what? I don't even think this is funny.

Cliffy is as c;lean as they come ? Really?Unlucky for Cliffy. Game was in his home state so his family was there and he ended up getting kicked out before the end of the 1st. Nothing malicious in the hit, technique is fine, just a tad late and of course he caught Hischier in the side of the head. Hischier's not a big guy and he's down low while turning, which puts him in harm's way, but for better or worse these days the obligation is on the initiator of the hit to be wary of a player in a vulnerable position, and if high contact is made then it's on them. So a match penalty was probably the right call and Connor's going to earn himself a couple of games upstairs. It shouldn't be more than that though. Cliffy's as clean as they come.

Joke league if he gets any supplementary discipline over that hit. That's a 2 min penalty at best. Elbows in, didn't leave his feet, textbook hitting form, zero intent to injure. Unfortunate result? Sure. Suspension worthy? Give me a break.
I wonder if it was illegal gambling and he was using a bookie on premises.All I can think of is that Pinto was gambling while in the team facilities which is not permitted. I also believe he was using a proxy who ended up betting on NHL games. The fact that Pinto accepted the suspension and is not appealing leads me to believe this has been going on for awhile.
Like others, I’m sick of how much gambling is being stuffed down our throats. There are ways to responsibly market it without over saturating the airwaves.

A tie-in to organized crime would warrant a stiff penalty, hush on the details., and enough games to send a message to other players.
We are all speculating here though. What we DO know is that it took time to investigate, and was not challenged by the PA, or the player. I think it was a deal worked out.
Seems that is happening a lot with the NHL as of late...
Yeah really. Got any evidence to the contrary?
Hard to see another way. Those subtle clips of the head are often more dangerous than straight shots.Yeah, the hit on Hischier.
The hit is late and to the head. Comes from the blind side. No excuse for it.
Ha, Ducks routing the Flyers 6-2 while they're being outshot 20-13.
Like the Knights having a 2-0 against the Hawks last night and then losing in OT. No team can be taken lightly.Vatrano with a hat trick. Ducks giving Philly the wakeup call they gave us.
