Colorado Avalanche Training Camp Dates

[RECKLESS]

There's a thread for all the Nuke shit, right? Why not keep it there?

After my wife sent me like a hundred videos - it brought me to Facebook where I saw a post from the Avs Facebook group with the caption: "The Avs aren't screwing around anymore - cut 4 players from camp".

Seriously who the hell are the jabronis that seemed surprised that these mega-shitters were cut from the team? (With the exception of 19 yr old Curran who goes back to junior)

Yep, that's me!

FTR I am 100% on board with what Henchy and dahrougem have said.

And really, the SJW slant would be more toward empathy, hoping he can get the help he needs, blah blah blah, not wholesale condemnation of an addict. And really, there can be some level of that while also acknowledging that he's let the team down twice now, and both instances at the worst possible time.

And what's most concerning is that he has yet to publicly offer up a single shred of accountability. I'm not even sure if he's apologized. That's a major step in any recovery program, and if you're not doing that, you will not be successful. So far his public comments on the first debacle squarely puts the blame on other people, and his agent lied through his teeth and said he didn't have a drug or alcohol problem.

We don't really have much choice as fans but to hope for the best, doesn't mean we have to like it, and he has lost any benefit of the doubt after last playoffs. As others have said, he needs to prove it.

Anyone know if the preseason games will be televised at all?

4 of the 6 Avs games will be televised. Two games vs Utah won’t be

It would be a stretch to say it isn’t impacting his family.

Again, it's not what I'm saying and not what you were saying. Saying the baby is likely traumatized for life is pure speculation.

I like how few updates we get regarding how people look in camp, and instead there’s just a persisting dialogue on the adverse childhood experiences that an addict may provide.

Don't be ridiculous. Of course the baby has been traumatized. It would be a true miracle if the kid was oblivious to it all.

Fact is, the kid will be dealing with questions all their life. Why did dad like blow more than me? Why was wrong with me that dad couldn't hang around the house sober? Kids will pick up on problems but unfortunately assign the blame to themselves.

Don't take light of what that kid is going through dude. It's no walk in the park, even if they have money. Kids don't give a crap about that shit. They want parents who are present and engaging with them.
