Yes. But mostly another substance which is now legal

for me it is amusing this thread is still open. The bigger picture is, it looks more and more hockey canada tried to cover up what happened and interfered with investigations. Now, the people who did this have been fired. But Hockey Canada needs to be punished for this but not many on this site want to have an honest discussion about it

London Police are who need to be answering some serious questions.

I don't agree with what Hockey Canada did, but you can't trust businesses to do the right thing.

We are supposed to be able to trust the police to do the right thing though.

I was thinking we need to buy them coffee… or whiskey… or both

Sure. Even then, maybe things are going too far if we are removing tweets from legitimate beat writers and hockey insiders. I mean it's already posted on X, so reposting those tweets here shouldn't do anything.

X fired all their moderators, not like there the model to follow.

If you took a shot for every time I said out loud "okay, time to shut this down until names are official", you'd be dead from alcohol poisoning.

When such a situation arises, it is much easier to let everyone stream into one big topic and clean up there when needed, than to deal with people continuously opening smaller discussions all over the place

This is true - whenever we close similar threads, invariably every 45 minutes someone thinks "Weird that this has been in the news for 30 hours but I can't see it on HFBoards", and their conclusion is that surely they're the first to think about starting a thread.

Is there a plug-in for this forum software that allows Twitter-like community notes?
Would save the mods a whole lot of trouble. Heck, once users get comfortable with them they may even make mods obsolete ...

Can I leave now or do I have to stay until the end of the day?

And yet here I ..... oh, wait, forgot to do shots. Never mind.

I was betting it would be shut down before we got to 20 pages. I'm shocked that it's still open

Which reminds me to tell you all about our introductory promotion for Bet ESPN...for a limited time, we're offering for HFBoards users...ah hell, just turn off your ad blockers and you'll see it on your screen.

This one I know. @Gee Wally has been doing 18 hour shifts in the mod lounge behind the bar doling out non-stop tequila mules since Wednesday.

I don’t know if they should be painted as such a bad guy in this situation. Wouldn’t most of the top leagues in sports be looking to do the same. Having this out doesn’t do any good for the image of hockey. What if this coming out even had larger consequences. What if Canada was removed from all international competition, maybe they were trying to protect the integrity of the game, of course themselves too.

That’s a self portrait.

I mean, the key to this is even in the part you can see on the screen before clicking..."amid a report".

Ok, it just seemed a harder line was being taken here re. speculation
But if you can just lay out the names and also in the same paragraph also lay out the accusations tying them together etc. is the same allowed here?

You don't protect the integrity of the game by covering up your players sexually assaulting someone.

I wonder if anything has been said about this.

Probably not. Well, maybe one day Bear will quit shitposting memes and self-portraits and do something that clarifies your question in some way.

Yes Hockey Canada has proven to be untrustworthy. That is why there should be serious repercussion.
