Around the NHL: HOCKEY’S BACK BABY

is 18 "grown"? Especially someone desperately trying to build a career ?

Legally, yes.

Some people are easily influenced and coerced into things. This is why cult leaders exist.

I’m aware, but I wasn’t aware grooming didn’t only involve minors.

 

[MOGlLNY]

It’s about power dynamics.

Does that fall under grooming though? I’m genuinely curious as I’m confused.

That's actually an interesting question... I can see both sides

Its about gaining their trust before the abuse starts. Crudely put, its setting them up for the abuse. It may take longer with teenagers or adults. Young kids might be more likely to quickly trust an adult or authority figure.

Thanks, that makes sense. Did some research on it as well. I figured something like that would fall under different terminology.

Is anything bad going on with McDavid and the Edmonton press? I keep getting Facebook news about it but can’t find anything.

A peek at the teams I thought would be wild card contenders for the last 6 games. Sabres doing pretty well even with the Flyers games.

Sabres 4-2-0
Sens 1-5-0
Red Wings 2-3-1
Panthers 3-2-1
Lightning 3-1-2
Islanders 3-1-2
Pens 2-4-0

Not to mention the Leafs have also been pretty bad lately.

When everyone sucks, we are all winners!

Ducks mount another 3rd period comeback and beat the Knights 4-2. They're actually a fun watch this year.

Maybe the NHL needs someone like Paul Kariya handing out supplemental discipline instead of Parros.

Or some sort of neutral third party who just handles discipline. It's f***ing ridiculous, but then again so are their officiating and review standards.

Just last week, Backstrom announced he would be stepping way from the game.

Not the first NHLer felled by this. Hopefully he has better results than Vokuon did. Glad they caught it.

At least it's not FIFA level bad yet.

Only a matter of time til the NHL follows suit and takes Saudi blood money.

I think hocjey is too small to attract more than the couple of dictators that are already fans. Not much to gain politically.

What Saudi gets is people looking the other way for their war crimes and human rights violations, they are already taking over the eSports scene.

While I fully agree, we should probably steer the conversation back toward something less political.

I hate Toronto, but it gives me pleasure watching TB struggle with goal tending.
