Five members from Canada’s 2018 world junior team (Hart, McLeod, Dube, Foote and Formenton) told to surrender to police, facing sexual assault charges

[FriendlyGhost92]

Shame on these NHL teams for continuing to play these guys while almost certainly knowing that these investigations were ongoing and that the other shoe might drop eventually.

With no legal charges, this would immediately get shit on by the NHLPA.

Honest question do the mods get paid anything?

gif bandwith

Paid in leave of absence for mental health

Honest question do the mods get paid anything?

Nope. And we're still overpaid.

Ha! You dont pay me enough for that.

 

[Voight]

The AP made 2 separate statements about 5 players being granted a leave of absence and 5 players being told to surrender. They did not say the two sets are the same.

It's unlikely, but not completely out of the realm of possibility, that a player on the 2018 team is taking some time away from his NHL team because 5 of his close friends are being criminally charged and needs some time to process it. That type of thing is why you don't speculate

Agreed.

 

[The Hanging Jowl]

Only thing that bothers me is neither you or I would have been given this kind of time to keep our names out of the paper and to turn ourselves in on our own schedule.

 

[Voight]

Nope. And we're still overpaid.

My brain jumped here right away

 

[Zirakzigil]

Honest question do the mods get paid anything?

Nope, not even coverage for the inevitable mental health issues.

 

[Bear of Bad News]

Ha! You dont pay me enough for that.

 

[Cloned]

I wonder what happened with the supposed other three players involved? Wasn’t it a total of 8?

Who needs money when you have the ban hammer

"I'm distraught and can't come to work because some guys I played hockey with 5 years ago are getting charged for sexually assaulting somebody"?

Yeah... Gonna go ahead and say that's a completely illogical suggestion.

Out of curiosity, were we also not allowed to speculate or name names when "A hockey player" was arrested in connection with the death of Adam Johnson? They never named the player...

Never ending truckloads of potato chips and coca cola.

Formenton got blacklisted and the NHLPA didn't care.

I find it hard to believe the clubs didn't know who was involved. They just don't care.

Yeah... Gonna go ahead and say that's a completely illogical suggestion.

Especially when it makes you look guilty of sexual assault.

It's a ridiculous suggestion.

 

[Pancakes]

I think if we do this long enough we can shame every team in the league.

They pretty much all deserve it tbh

I mean I love hugs, but at least offer me dinner first.....

 

[Hockeylife2018]

I know as an edmonton fan, we're known for giving second chances

But if these charges do stick and they are found guilty, I hope all fans and teams set an example that this is NOT what we want hockey to stand for, I don't want to see any of then in the league again

You should see the suggestions that have been submitted to us over the contact form over the years - although they usually involve me participating with myself.

That's hot.
