Sexually assaulted a 12 year old girl as an 18 year old.

There's a reason why I didn't just bluntly put it in here and told DHF to research it lol.

I dont see a reason why it shouldn't be well known.

He pled guilty to it, it's in the public record. Not exactly a secret.

Another year, another Welcome to the NHL vid. Not much Hawks stuff here compared to last year (alot of that is themselves not picking a couple of these kids) but there is a Bedard cameo. And Marshawn Lynch is a trip.

What I find very strange -

Why is it Russian people are willing to accept him as a pro hockey player? I highly doubt it’s because they are just that not judgemental. Do they just not know?

Russia is a very different place. The KHL is still the Wild west and they're an incredibly conservative country by North American standards.

I can't believe he's walking away from six million he's not gonna get half that in Russia.

the exchange rate of rubles to dollars is only really pertinent if you are planning on doing international trade in a market denominated by dollars. just as an example, the average cost per square foot to buy an apartment in dc is almost twice as much as it is in moscow. he may lose out on absolute exchange value in the abstract, but in relative terms he probably won’t be missing out on much purchasing power (assuming he strikes big oil oligarch money).

then you can also consider that he’s likely bringing a pretty hefty nest egg of american dollars into a market where they exchange favorably against the local currency.

Its widely known Russian players get perks/$ under table from certain KHL owners

So, when a big name goes back to Russia, they are getting taken care of

Its naive to not think its happening

Flames' new arena to be called Scotia Place, because Canada has only five or so companies.

And okay, Scotia is better than Scotiabank, but Place is a marked step down from Saddledome.

Olympic hockey at sensible North American times in a decade, folks.

Some Yote fans got good deals on stuff it seems if they shop at goodwill

 

[Crow]

Damn I would have bought some if I had the opportunity. Always thought they had pretty cool looking gear.

I'm still laughing that he and his agent were looking for 10+ million at one point. But still made out well with that AAV.

Can always ask

 

[No Fun Shogun]

Seventy million bucks is some decent walkin' around money.

Start high. End where you want. Do you actually think that was serious?

You don't start at 8.7 if you get paid 8.7 unless you're Crosby.
