That’s my best friend, he can explain this whole thing, but he doesn’t wear glasses

Imagine theyre trying to mod a post when the ads load and the page shifts like crazy so they accidentally click that ad with the hot chicks

Those are the other mods

It would take a lot more for a libel suit than sharing someone else's tweet, I think it's an unnecessary overcorrect but I digress

Normally I would be on your side of the fence, but this is rape allegations and thats just a whole different ball game

Within the Cdn judicial system, at what age are you tried as a juvenile vs an adult?

 

[Gregor Samsa]

Surprised one of the first names brought up for this incident doesn’t seem to be one of the ones turning themselves in. I’d be pissed if I was him and innocent

 

[Strangle]

This is what ‘personal reasons’ means in this case

 

[Brooklyndevil]

They're still innocent until proven guilty.

If this were another "Duke Lacrosse" case, I'd think that over the course of 5 years of investigations it would have become apparent that the female who claims she was assaulted was making it all up. Not saying it 100% didn't happen here, but I'm pretty comfortable betting the house on this not being the same given the amount of attention that's been put on this and the amount of investigation that's been done.

They still have to hold a trial, unless they take a plea. What will definitely happen if those in question are guilty, one or two will cooperate, that I have no doubt.

On the bright side, this thread finally made me upgrade to sponsor. Kinda embarrassed it took so long haha.

Mods are hot chicks?

I'm sure such a compliment will raise the mods spirits on such a weary day.

 

[Moose Head]

DUDE I hate those ads like I'm not trying to get a boner while reading shitty trade proposals

If we’re going to have ads, I’m glad when it’s the hot chicks ad.

 

[joestevens29]

I'd like to know how long it took the mods to prepare for this thread. Really on it today with the memes

 

[CanMerc]

do we know if the 5 players i'm not speculating about have upper or lower body injuries?

No, they’re just on indefinite leaves of absence

Cant escape justice...their careers are over..

Won’t be Paros controlling the wheel of justice this time.

This thread is basically the playoffs for them.

Never had to prepare. At least 2/3 of my hard drive is memes

 

[Lindberg Cheese]

I genuinely don't mean for this to be divisive but while what you describe is true, it generally is not the case for wealthy white boys

Wealthy anyone for that matter. It really depends on what the prosecutor deems is the catch of the day to advance their own career at the expense of ruining other’s lives. Mike Nifong says hi.

 

[CanMerc]

If not named during the trial, they will be if convicted

 

[Zbynek]

Ah, now it makes sense

 

[Zbynek]

Just banning any information about players getting indefinite leave of absences just seems bizarre.

Like on the same day that 5 players from the WJC team were told to turn themselves in, 3 players from that team were granted a leave of absence. I don’t think there’s much speculation there to connect the two dots.

4 players.

Doesn't take a rocket scientist to connect the dots nope.

You don't get the Christmas pinup calendar?

 

[Dr Pepper]

If the 5 have been told to surrender, then the rest of them know they're in the clear.

Correct.

But we don't know which five. Not yet, anyway. So the sooner that happens, the sooner the rest of the players can rest easy knowing their respective NHL fanbases aren't calling for their imminent arrest or something.

 

[TheDoldrums]

Surprised one of the first names brought up for this incident doesn’t seem to be one of the ones turning themselves in. I’d be pissed if I was him and innocent

idk who you're referring to but 8 were originally accused. Even if they only have enough evidence to charge 5 at this point doesn't mean they are definitely in the clear

 

[Coffey]

We should be allowed to speculate tbh.

You got Reddit for that.
Blame the asshole that tried to sue HFboards before due to people spreading rumours.
