Blackhawks sued (again) by teammate of Kyle Beach for sexual assault

[Kairi Zaide]

The problem is he did come out. He was in the 2021 report as well. But as someone pointed out, likely saw the money Beach got and is now filing. Again, this isn't exactly new info.

So who is it ?

Big difference between "coming out" like what we might see in the coming days, and giving "anonymous" statements for a report/investigation.

So a franchise that covered up what looks like multiple sexual assaults shouldn't have draft picks taken away because it hurts fans?

Did I read this right?

No mention of the players assaulted? They didn't get hurt?

WOW

Have to hope that this stuff isn’t a distraction for Bedard and the current Blackhawks team. Not something they had anything to do with but I could imagine it still being something that bothers some players there.

 

[Gaylord Q Tinkledink]

Ahh, just fine them a 3rd, or something. This is nowhere near as bad as not disclosing a player's No Trade List....

 

[Dirty Dan]

Man imagine Chicago was the one the forfeited their first pick Bedard and Zegras would be ripping it up on Newport beach

 

[Cubs2024wildcard]

The organization at the time is the one that needs to be punished. Forfeiting the 2010 Cup title would be a start.

Maybe get rid of Rocky Wirtz bronzed chair while your at it.....

There is a massive difference between anonymously giving testimony in someone else's law suit and launching your own law suit where you will almost certainly be outted at some point in time.

Strip the franchise of Bedard.

And no, Blackhawks, that doesn't mean strip in front of Bedard.

 

[barkovcanfinnish]

Pretty sure it was always known that a second player was involved in some way but details weren’t very clear on that until recently. We still don’t know the name of said player yet I believe.

Will probably get settled in court. Sadly not much else will probably be done on that at this point. Punishment was already given out to the franchise. Team should’ve been fined a lot more money and harsher punishments should’ve been given to the people involved. McDonough should be in jail as far as I’m concerned.

The crowd making Bedard jokes continue to be despicable

 

[Sidney the Kidney]

The fact that an organization disrespecting a NTC has worse consequences than covering up sexual assault is insane.

Ladies and gentlemen, your Gary Bettman NHL.

Obviously nowhere as serious as these allegations, but it's the same league that seems to frown more on players/coaches criticizing the referees than it does on taking dirty hits out of the game.

 

[Cardiac Jerks]

I’m 20 years old and I played junior A. I have a lot of friends and I don’t think I know a single person who would care at all about this situation. I personally don’t know Kyle Beach so why should I care about him?

I’m not sure how you thought this was going to come off but you just sound just awful.

 

[Filthy Dangles]

Serious question

Why isn’t Brad Aldrich being investigated (at the very least) and pursued criminally for the Blackhawks rape(s)?

Real justice would be putting the actual offender away in prison for a long time. He only did 9 months for the other rape of high school player.

The Blackhawks horse has been beaten to death

Just an fyi, saying someone got raped for money is not a good stance.

 

[Gainesvillain]

Damn, those "black aces" engaged in a lot of toxic masculinity.

A reason I think they didn't want to keep Toews or Kane anymore. They have no players relevant anymore. No key Staff that was staff then. They do have 2 Staff that were 2010 players, Brian Campbell and Colin Fraser but that's front office/scouting jobs.

They've distanced themselves from people of that team being in public roles.

 

[Little Psycho]

Rightfully so. Get all the money!

Someone with more law knowledge would answer this better, but perhaps it's past the statute of limitations?

Doubtful, they really have no connection to what happened and those involved are not in active roles

 

[Little Psycho]

Lmao

Shoutout to this Mickey Mouse league for allowing this garbage franchise to win the next league star with no repercussions

They thought they could get away with it with by “winning” a new shiny as their old stars faded into oblivion.

Oh man and that probably would have left Carlsson to the Sharks, which would've been perfect. Carlsson was my favourite prospect last draft.

I think that there is no statute of limitations for rape.

 

[EpochLink]

Disgraceful, the league should be embarrassed.

 

[TLEH]

They’re being sued for the same stuff in the initial report. They’re just being sued for it by a different person.

Poor taste to come in here and make jokes about it. It’s so serious, though.

 

[Lazlo Hollyfeld]

What a disgrace of a country. Ireland is where he descends from they should all be punished.

Do you hear how stupid generalization sounds? Why should Connor Bedard for an example be punished for something that happened when he was a 4 years old? Realistically who is still apart of the Blackhawks that was there in 2009? Maybe an accountant?

The Wirtz family, for starters.

You know you're a real POS if you manage to make Dollar Bill look like the good owner of the Blackhawks. Quite a legacy Rocky left.
