Disgraceful.
Meanwhile we're still forfeiting a first round pick
One of the women's soccer team support staff used a drone to spy on the New Zealand soccer team's practice.
Which to me is incredibly stupid because
1. It's soccer, not American football. The advantage is negligible.
2. People are going to notice this shit
3. New Zealand's team is incredibly beatable
4. It's embarrassing and disgraceful
Disgraceful.
Meanwhile we're still forfeiting a first round pick
you don't remember how it was handled.? How Gary tried to sweep things under the carpet? How owners, exec, coaches, players all mocked Beech!!!!Disgustingly tone deaf move by edmonton. Wtf. How anyone involved is welcomed back into the league is beyond me.
Forget the off-ice stuff, Stan Bowman was one of the worst GMs in the league when he ran the Blackhawks.
The man turned Panarin into Saad into Zadorov into a 3rd round pick.
No idea what the Oilers are thinking. What's even worse is Jeff Jackson was killing it as interim GM.
Let's not get carried away hereI didn’t think Dorion would ever be a better hire but in this occasion it would have been
The League lead by example on that one. Absolutely terrible handling of that situation in general basically leaving the door open to these guys. Ridiculous when they then turn around and throw the ban hammer down on Ottawa for much less egregious infractions like the Pinto and Dadonov situations.The Oilers keeping finding ways to remind everyone that they are a joke franchise.
Katz is yet another idiot rich man. Like most of them.
Why would fans punish their own teams, who didn't hire Bowman, because they are upset about EDM hiring him?Here is one for everyone.
How about if Edmonton's 41 away dates are played in an empty arenas?????
NO.. we all want to see McJesus!!!
and so our anger is as far as the threshold for our inconvenience.
New friendship = nice fat donation?It seems important to remember that the reason none of them are in jail is because their deplorable actions didn’t constitute a crime. Most of the older players at least have gone through deplorable hazing rituals themselves or that they witnessed. Now this is worse because it involves a position of authority. Like the military not taking those actions against our sons and daughters seriously when a similar situation occurred. Like the military, pro sports also had a put-the-team-first mentality. There were few precedents or paths to follow for reporting this. Things have thankfully changed now. As with the American founders declaring all men are created equal while holding slaves.
Sheldon Kennedy has talked about his new friendship with Stan Bowman. How all of them have taken responsibility for their actions and strived to make amends and be better. Sheldon seems to have forgiven him.
If only virtue signalling acceptance of someone’s redemptive capacity was seen as worthy as the initial outrage. Maybe that is the next moment needed.

Not the case anymore. 8x8.75 confirmedKonecny apparently re-signed, but I would take it with a grain of salt. It comes from an unreliable source who hasn't broken anything previously.
Trevor Noah had a funny bit about Christopher Columbus failing up. It’s a thing for sure.New friendship = nice fat donation?
It certainly is possible Stan Bowman has accepted that what he did was awful, this is still a really, really bad look.
Bowman showed he was not worthy of trust, gets exiled, and comes back to the same level he was at? That's a bit of a stretch for most people. Everyone reasonable is ok with second chances, but people also expect destroyed trust to have be rebuilt, not granted.
Alas, rich white assholes and failing upwards, name a more iconic couple?
In my own case, and in the many incidents of abuse that I continue to see, there are bystanders present who, instead of stepping in to make things better, often make the situation worse for the victim through their inaction. Bystanders typically have fear and anxiety around intervening, even when their gut tells them something may be wrong. Too often it’s unclear where to seek help or even how to begin a conversation on the topic. We need to foster confidence, clarity, and a sense of ownership in this critical area.
Stan understood this and agreed completely. I invited him to work with our team to help us build on our vision of the Respect Charter. He accepted and volunteered nearly full-time hours to help develop the program.
It was a powerful and impactful approach—I was coming at it from a victim’s point of view and Stan was approaching it as a guy suspended from his job because he could have done more. Stan’s acceptance, open mindedness, and understanding were huge difference makers in building this workshop. I was impressed with Stan’s insights, but more importantly, just how deeply he cared. Stan showed incredible leadership by helping craft the workshop curriculum, using his experience as a compelling real-life example, and facilitating the sessions along with a colleague from Chicago.
So why am I writing this piece? I believe Stan would be a valuable asset to an organization due to his acknowledgment of past mistakes and his relentless efforts to make the locker room/game safer for everyone. He possesses the insights, knowledge, and confidence needed to lead in this area. I feel building a strong and healthy culture within an organization and practicing it on an ongoing basis will be a top priority for Stan. I also believe Stan will carry this message within the hockey eco system, which can only help.
Not the case anymore. 8x8.75 confirmed
Because it is a lot. That and the Buffalo goalie have the potential to age quite badly imo
Anyone else think this is crazy money for Konecny... I have always liked the player but wow that seems like a lot to me.
