Oh I remember Shantz, the way I remember a specific nightmare from my childhood. It's kind blurry and not really clear but there is a very definate feeling of revulsion.
It really should be that way from an employment law perspective. First, that’s possible defamation unless you have cause to make the direct accusation. I suppose you could indirectly ask if there’s any reason that your judgment or play might be impaired? That’s different than asking if he snorting lines off a mirror. If you harmed his reputation without cause then you’re also opening yourself to being sued if he’s unable to gain another contract. Who wants that out in public much less the expense of defending a lawsuit. I grant this scenario is the parade of horribles but you get my drift. There’s a risk to asking. I would have preemptively included a good conduct clause in his contract that would state the use of illicit substances would be grounds for discipline up to and including termination of the contract for cause. Then again, I never negotiated or drafted an NHL player contract so WTH do I know? But we shouldn’t assume the management was being negligent.
That's also how I remember Shantz.
You don't remember future franchise goalie Vitaly Kolesnik?
What 'til you learn about Denis Parshin.
He had done nothing known to the public... But the Avs literally don't let anything ever come to public. I mean he may not have had a problem that they thought would lead to issues involving the law and PAP, but the Avs took a calculated risk with him. Now I don't think the issues were as bad as they are now with Nuke... But there's no chance they didn't know what Nuke was up to in his free time.
I bet you thought you were going to play with Kurt Sauer and then were disappointed when Jeff Finger showed up and wasn't very good
Better than playing 4 games of softball with Jeff FInger.
I once played a softball game with four fingers of scotch.
I have no idea if that is correct so ok.
Ok, Had to look it up. Avs didn't play that day, but the next, and this is likely the correct answer.
