Allowing your underqualified son to ruin an offense? Yeah I think that fits the definition pretty perfectly.

K, so the area I grew up in had a part of town called "College Heights", where every street was named after a college/university. And as it came to be, I lived on Notre Dame Ave.
It is a point of great shame for me.

The Flyers are working on 50 years of failure, think Torts is the coach to lead a rebuild, and have a dopey old jockstrap sniffer as the acting owner while Pittsburgh are owned by FSG. That's why.

I truly can’t understand how anyone at this point has any belief in this organization.
What have they shown that makes them look even competent in a single aspect?
It’s blind faith because the idea that they will continue to be awful is too scary.

Jones is a third pair guy, those results were against bottom competition, in a sheltered role, even for Chicago
On Carolina, he might #7/#8.
Throw Chatfield, Jones and Coughlan in a hat.
Though if they trade Pesce, they'd have to promote one of Chatifeld or Coughlan, which makes me think they'll just let him walk after the season.

The guy really is insufferable. He's even too lazy to take the shot the right way.

The league tried to get a PR win by being proactive with their own investigation... but now theyre stuck in a really bad spot. They probably thought something legally wouldve happened by now or the players names would be out there...but id imagine itd be very problematic if they came out naming and suspending players who are not in any legal hot water at the moment. From an NHLPA perspective...what investigative experience does the league have to make these kinds of claims and determine innocent or guilty? Will they investigate future alligations against players that dont have charges brought? What if they suspend a player who is later cleared by the justice system?
Its a really messy situation and I never really understood why the NHL involved themselves. If the players were charged? Then sure... and im sure thats what the league would prefer to happen. But my guess is they wanted to appease the outrage in the moment by announcing theyd be investigating.
The league should have spent the resources trying to change this ugly culture that clearly exists at all levels of the sport.

This is actually a good question. The Chicago Wolves decided to be all difficult and go independent, so we won't have an AHL affiliate this coming season.

Yeah incredibly stupid move by the NHL. It's likely there's an NHL player involved at this point and the NHL and NHLPA are working out how to mitigate the problem.
I wouldn't be too surprised if the NHL just keeps postponing this thing until everyone forgets about it. In reality it's probably pretty irrelevant at this point since most people who go to hockey games probably don't even know about it. Postpone, postpone, postpone and done.

He was a really good prospect.

I hate this team
I think being one spot behind Alex Tuch is funnier. They had the same amount of points (albeit Giroux played a handful more games) but Tuch has struggled to stay healthy and up to last season had a career high of 52 points. I like Tuch but no chance I'd rank him over Giroux. Perhaps long term you'd want Tuch on your team because of Giroux's age, but if it is just ranking the forwards it has to be Giroux. And Guentzel being that high above Giroux...come on! That guy has made a career off of being near Sydney Crosby. Put him on another team and he's not producing nearly as much.

That is absolutely horrible. A young man with his whole life ahead of him. RIP
