Mike Ribeiro charged with sexual assault

[Lays]

Said he was a bad leader and cared more about points than the win if I remember correctly.

This is rich coming from Mike Ribeiro

 

[Sushiko]

Wow, hasn’t thought of it remembered him in years. I remember when he was out here in Phoenix briefly for the coyotes and all that nanny stuff. Damn.

 

[Mickey Marner]

Hopefully justice is served this time.

 

[Weztex]

Did they ever fight in practice? I vaguely remember something.

They did. In 2004. There’s a video of it floating somewhere.

 

[CutOnDime97]

Guy's a proven loser

This is rich coming from Mike Ribeiro

To this day I have yet to hear one kind word said by anyone regarding Ribeiro, the man. I’ve heard many say great things about Koivu, the man. Let’s consider the source and move on.

 

[Sol]

Wow what a predator.

 

[SomeDude]

Wow what a predator.

That checks out.

 

[Zen Arcade]

That checks out.

Props for still rocking that Alex Smigelski avatar all these years later.

 

[Freudian]

Some players you know you are going to hear about in the news after they retire. Ribeiro is one of them. This won't be the last time we hear about him.

 

[Mattb124]

Guy doesn’t have problems, he’s a scumbag.

Females who come into contact with him have problems.

Yes, blame the victims.

 

[JoVel]

Yes, blame the victims.

I'm pretty sure that's not what they meant.

Those females do have a problem, that problem being Mike Ribeiro.

 

[Tutu to]

Last I heard he went completely missing and nobody knew where he was.

 

[covfefe]

Last I heard he went completely missing and nobody knew where he was.

Evidently he has been somewhere in the vicinity of East Texas

 

[Mattb124]

I'm pretty sure that's not what they meant.

Those females do have a problem, that problem being Mike Ribeiro.

Rereading, I can see that interpretation. Snide comment retracted.

 

[Bizz]

I came here to post this and someone already beat me to it.

 

[MetalheadPenguinsFan]

Lmao clutching at his chest like Fred Sanford, grabbing his back, the frantic leg movement. Biggest sell job attempt of all-time.

Cocaine is a helluva drug btw.

“Here I come Elizabeth…”

First thing I thought of too.

 

[BLNY]

Greasy bastard gonna greasy.

 

[Machinehead]

What a creep

 

[The Gr8 Dane]

École St Louis ball hockey legend

 

[beowulf]

Dude has more demons that hockey talent and his hockey talent was pretty good. Between drugs, partying, and these assaults...ouch.

A lot of people are understandably bringing up Ribeiro's substance abuse struggles in this thread. In general, I have sympathy for people who struggle with addiction...but there are many addicts who don't prey on women. Addiction can make a person act rashly and destructively, but it's not an excuse for repeated predatory behavior. This is a pattern for Ribeiro and I hope he doesn't get off easy this time.

My second favourite time the Habs got rid of a player was when they traded Maxime Lapierre. It was a wonderful day. But I was 1,000,000,000,000 times happier when they traded Mike Ribeiro. I wish we could go back to the day the Habs drafted him and change history. Hopefully his victims are able to get the help they need

 

[Nihiliste]

Ribiero is one of the rare people out there who gets zero benefit of the doubt from me. Just proven to be an awful person time after time.

 

[Dr Pepper]

Saddens me every time this guy gets into trouble, because I really did enjoy his stint with Dallas during that transitional period between Modano and Benn.

I feel like there probably won't be a very happy conclusion for him, either, unless changes his life for the better.

Also, yes I do hope the Texas judicial system hits him hard here, because he needs it.
