Around the NHL: Part XXXIV

[LOFIN]

As a Finn, I feel for Barkov. Imagine your team getting this (deservedly). They have gone to a perfect start and now they are out of a coach. Rightfully so though but still...

Obviously, Kyle Beach deserves all the support now.

 

[SnowblindNYR]

So this has been a scandal for a while, why has the shit hit the fan right now? Is it because we didn't know who the victim was for a while?

So this has been a scandal for a while, why has the shit hit the fan right now? Is it because we didn't know who the victim was for a while?

This week the law firm that conducted an independent investigation of the allegations published their 107-page report.

Cancel Cancer

If cancel culture is getting scumbags like Q out for being guilty for covering a sexual assault I hope more happens

 

[SnowblindNYR]

So don't take this the wrong way, I'm not questioning if Beach was telling the truth. I just don't understand how a 20 year old professional athlete doesn't put a coach that's trying to rape him in a coma.

What was your biggest dream in life? The thing you were working towards for potentially 10 plus years...

Now what if 1 person gave you the belief that they had the power and influence to crush that dream.

Have you learned nothing from Harvey Weinstein or the Olympic Gymnast scandal?

Position of power can turn anyone into helpless victims that is why they are predators.

 

[SnowblindNYR]

he was alone in a dark place thinking he's to blame blah blah blah

It's all genuinely horrible and just wrong ofc, no arguing that obviously.

BUT just find us an old white *cis* male to cancel and it'll be alright.

This is really stupid argument, and I'm the biggest opponent of cancel culture. Covering up sexual abuse is not the same thing as Dave Chapelle making jokes that hurt people's feelings.

 

[FireGerardGallant]

you'll scumbag everyone if given the oppo
what the woke im***iles really want is for the world to look like a f cemetery - no one's offended that way!

it all stems from FEAR. they (you) want everyone feel the same shame and fear and be as insecure about everything around you as you do

the industrious ppl just riding the wave to get what they want (same old - money and power) amidst the carnage

Lol no I don't want to cancel everyone thats just you projecting, but what Queenville did was inexcusable and should not be allowed in this league or sport anymore.
What shame or fear am I trying to put on people? Don't cover up sexual assaults? I think that is something everyone should live by.

This reads like the Unabomber Manifesto

 

[NYR Viper]

Please trade Kravtsov to Florida per his request with Torts going there

 

[bl02]

Wonder what the reactions would be if we signed a Danault for 6 million a year and he had 1 point over 7 games with his team winning only 1 game in that span?
I know it's early and he plays amazing defense yada yada yada. Glad we dodged that one.

However, if he and Strome morphed into one, they'd make the perfect center.

hey, Ted was right about a lot of things.

 

[Shesterkybomb]

Ive said it multiple times but we need a back up plan for Chytil and Strome, they should be looking to poach young centers like Lavoie or Hayton that havent been able to quite make the jump yet. Could we get one of those guys for Kravtsov? Maybe its a 2nd round pick and a lower prospect? Collect as many of those guys as you can and hope one hits their ceiling.

I think the Kings are a natural trade partner. They have a glut of young centers.

That their fans have no interest in trading to us.

I'm sure you're joking, but that's certainly a strange take to wake up to...

Edit: wait, i'm confusing my bombers. Was thinking of McVeigh. The Unibomber was an environmentalist or somthing, right?

Yeah, Ted was the one against the Industrial society.

All for Hayton but pretty sure it would have happened if Arizona was willing to make that deal.

There is some hope, however, based on the fact that fans don’t have any say in actual trades.

This is true, regardless of how delusional they are. See Sabres, Buffalo.

Should be a public flogging of Brad Aldrich, who right now is flying under the radar even though he is completely responsible for all of this shit

disgusting asshole

How is he not criminally liable?

 

[17futurecap]

How is he not criminally liable?

He was found guilty of sexual assault back in 2014 of the other person he did this to, he spent a whopping 9 months in jail and had to register as a sex offender.
