Different times back then. Google was not around and lots of stories would be tossed under the rug, only to resurface years later. Some would do it out of spite to tarnish someone's reputation, while other's were simply sailing through life never being held accountable for their past indiscretions until it was time they paid up. Bottom line, your reputation matters. Think twice.
Kassian, who had a prior assault charge, crashed a car into a tree while intoxicated and somehow a young woman was accused for being under the influence. Heatley killed his fellow teammate. Richards was arrested with oxycodone at the border, and was allowed to play again. Not to mention the Bertuzzi incident. The NHL wants to clear its image. Second chances are a thing of the past.
Wasn't Kassian the passenger in the crash into th tree that he was involved in? I think the thing that pissed MB off was that he put himself in that situation by being intoxicate and with intoxicated people at 4am in the morning and his injuries left the team with a hole at forward that it was too late to fill.
