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

[archangel2]

sort of ironic that we can not talk about certain things when several LEGIT us media outlets are openly discussing this and naming the players involved. ESPN is being savage right now

Honestly I'm not sure what you're referring to regarding the illusion so I'm not sure if I was part of what you consider that mob or not.

I'd have to paraphrase our entire conversation, basically. PM me if you actually want me to.

 

[GindyDraws]

Other way around. The leave of absences are Bettmans way of distracting people from noticing he's bringing in another team to a league that's already watered down and should just move or fold a couple they already have. Looking at you Coyotes. Lol...

I've been on the Relocate the Yotes bandwagon for almost two decades, lol.

How is it criminalizing anyone unless charges are filed (thereby refuting the idea that it’s an ”ordinary marriage”)? I repeat that if you’re worried your spouse will go to the cops because of the wording of that law you have issues you should seek help for.

You're position is flat out ridiculous. I will say it again, people with mental issues exist. They exist in marriages where the mental issues develop over time. It does happen when a person who one trusts becomes unstable and levies a false accusation.

Your "well, if you didn't do anything wrong, you have nothing to fear" from poorly written government laws or over-zealous government prosecution is totalitarian nonsense.

Now we're blaming the parents of the kid that didn't participate in the assault?

There’s enough blame to go around …. Don’t worry.

Let’s toss the 5 players named over the Niagra Falls in a barrel (separate barrels 1 per player - we are not animals) and let’s see who survives!

Of course the ones that survive are obviously be guilty and will have to face the full wrath of the HFB morale majority.

The players that died in their barrels going over the falls will obviously be reclassified as innocent and tragic victims of getting involved with the evil empire (Hickey Canada)

Now *that* is ironic.

 

[gritdash60]

I don't understand how many people are ready to crucify all or any players already. Let them do their job and wait for the sentences if there will be some. "Innocent before proven guilty" was a thing before social media, now its "Guilty before proven guilty, and if proven innocent, still guilty".

If it makes it any better, I firmly believe this way is the correct way.

Like evande Kane and his exwife whatever they have going on

 

[Moon Man]

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

They would be in jail, for years.

Saying someone's position is ridiculous and then saying what you said is hysterical.

Care to elaborate?

If there is a current NHL'r in there, we would know fairly quickly as they would be excused from the team for personal reasons.

Hey @Bear of Bad News

Oh if you only knew.

 

[Melrose Munch]

The "No consenting to wake-up sex", though something I was familiar with, is still mind-boggling to me. How many otherwise ordinary married Canadian couples does this criminalize for activity they are both ostensibly consenting to?

Most people don't do this.

Hey @Bear of Bad News

Coincidentally, I was DMing other mods saying I never want to be purple again.

 

[devo09]

If the Trevor Bauer scenario has taught us anything we should presume innocent until proven guilty

Mods are sleeping, post stupid shit!
