I disagree with this take except the last sentence. Sounds like they just found out about this in April, there's no way you could have investigated and reacted that quickly. You would have had to disclose this "potential" story to your trading partners too, just out of decency.

It can be salvaged but timing is bad.

Dude, there were posters on this board that knew about this for months. How incompetent does our management have to be to just find out about it?

Which ones? I've seen Julie Turris, Kodette LaBarbara, Marlee Hammond, and Taylor Winnik. None of them said they witnessed it.

I’ve read hundreds of these comments being made. They are unrelenting, methodical and disturbing. This person has no business going anywhere near the women in the hockey community ever again.

^^^^ She has read the comments.
Kodette LaBarbera

Her fixation with Mel has always been unhealthy. Then it became scary. So glad Mel is protecting herself. No team will welcome this girl to the room.

^^^ Implied she has witnessed Hoffman's wife making scary comments.

If I had to bet on it, I'd wager that they aren't just finding out about it.

Dreger coming out and saying he's be shocked if Hoffman wasn't traded by the Draft... I wonder if he knew something .. or what he knew... Why would Dorion wait on this , I am not sure

Nothing points to Hoffman being complicit imo. Its his GF.,, who if she is guilty is certainly not above lying to Hoff. He would not condone this crap .. no way.. He may stand behind his GF as long as he thinks she is innocent of the the charges.. If he finds out she is guilty he has to cut her loose.

He knew about it and didn't dump her. That's brutal. Cut him .

It certainly wouldn't be out of character for someone who exhibits this kind of sociopathic behaviour to lie to and gaslight their loved ones. Would be pretty par for the course. If she's guilty and he sticks by her then f*** em and send him packing but it'd wait and see here. Hoffman's whole world might be crumbling around him right now with this breaking publically and him in the rumour mill.

I would probably judge him harshly if he goes through with marrying this psycho but I can also appreciate that he could be in a pretty abusive relationship and may need help.

Im just going to speculate that a woman who is this vindictive against someone online may also vent openly in front of ones spouse. However, I really dont give a .... anymore about this dollar store team with its back alley antics, dikhead owner, and awkward scandals. Just when you thought it couldn't get worse, the bottom drops out. This will surely carry into the season and affect the moves this summer. What a joke this team is.

Taylor Winnik saying she has read hundreds of disturbing comments made by Hoffman's girlfriend towards Karlsson's wife is feelings?

Seems like a witness to me.
Yes if you find it some unsaid thing to be disturbing its a feeling. The facts have to come out ... what was said.. not oh the comment was disturbing ... that is just expressing a feeling

I agree that Hoff may not of known the full extent of what was going on. I can't imagine what he is going through right now, your first reaction is of course going to defend your partner of 10 years, of course it is. I'm not so sure the next step will be that easy, it might take a while after 10 years. He will be weighing the consequences in his mind, stay with my partner or give away my career and millions. Love is difficult, would it shock you if he walked away with his millions made and stayed with his gal?

Not really. It also would not surprise me if she dumped him soon after that as well.

Maybe everyone hoped it wouldn’t become public. Melinda tried to keep it quiet apparently.

Those don't prove anything.

"I've read hundreds of these comments being made."

I have no doubt that the Karlssons' have collected hundreds if not thousands of different hurtful messages they've received. I've read lots of them myself. However, that doesn't prove that any one specific person was behind them.

"Her fixation with Mel has always been unhealthy. Then it became scary"

Again, this doesn't prove anything. She's giving a vague opinion on the situation.

We haven't even heard from the Karlssons' yet and people are already acting like both Hoffman and his GF have been convicted. They never even served the peace bond on her BTW and it sounds like they didn't have the assistance of the police for filing the police bond.

If you were Mike Hoffman, would you come out and condemn your fiancé, who you've been with for a long time, over accusations? The news just broke, why do people expect Hoffman to right away condemn her without any proof? It's easy to sit back in your armchair and judge him, but none of us know what that's like. Let's wait a bit before we judge the kind of person Hoffman is.

This is fair , it's also fair to point out that they had to know this would blow up , which seems like something they would weigh the risks of seriously ...
