Pretty bad I have never had to use the ignore button till now after close to 10 years on the sight.

Beach literally didn't want to go to the media or press charges.

That's the point.

HE DID TELL BOWMAN TO FIRE HIM.

HE DID TELL BOWMAN TO FIRE HIM

HE DID TELL BOWMAN TO FIRE HIM.

HE DID TELL BOWMAN TO FIRE HIM

There now you can see in one post how many times I've said that.

He literally stormed into an upper management meeting fuming and demanded he be fired.

The league only took action against him for literally not going over Bowmans head. That was stated by Bettman himself.

He respected Kyle's wishes of not wanting to press charges or even be revealed.

It's quite obvious you made your mind up without reading the reports or gathering any true facts. You just decided you were right.

And as unfortunate as it was - with Beach being an adult and not a minor - Blackhawk mgt wasn’t obligated to inform the authorities of the matter and chose to handle it within the organization which from what I understand was what Beach had wanted at that time.

Not trying to paint Quennville as a saint, but he did what he could do within his role and without going to the police.

It's insane they spend time on the broadcast covering the betting odds on various players and then incorporate it into highlights.

100% agree. The promotion of gambling is insane, immoral but legal

I thought this was a fun game to watch.

Mo - The real deal
Simon - Stud in the making. He still has a tendency to play slow, thinking it is fast enough. He must focus on retrieving pucks with more speed. that said, you can see this kid is going to be able to carry the puck up ice and join th eplay. 21, 24 plus minutes against the best player in the game or a top 10 player in the game (Leon must love Edmonton. that was a team friendly deal he signed).
Copp - Post game interview complaining about deployment... then saying he wasn't complaining about deployment. LOL Stock is up, move him.
