Why are they reporting Miller’s intercession but not Trouba’s? If they were trying to protect a sensitive issue, wouldn’t it be the other way around?

Ian Pulver worked for the NHLPA before starting his own agency. He knows how to diffuse the situation and call for calmer heads to prevail. Pulver knows how hockey players think. I am sure this is not the first time players have had disagreements. Tony just wore out his welcome.

Kravtsov’s teammates did shit about it. I know some here love the KHL but that is some soft ass BS. Then they all huddled around Kravtsov, Cormier included! Smh

That's why I have a hard time seeing him say something that he'd have to walk back or contradict.

Even if it was true, and he didn't want to talk about it, he'd probably go with something like, "This is an internal team matter and K'Andre is a part of the team. It will be handled internally and we have no further details to share at this time."

Pure conjecture, I obviously know nothing...but I can imagine a situation where the puck thing "happened", as in TDA was doing a practical joke that was half in good fun, half a bit mean spirited, the rest of the team was rolling their eyes and having none of it, and it resolved pretty quickly. K'Andre may have told his agent "just say it didn't happen, I don't need this shit on top of everything else too".

Everyone is guessing right now. And yeah there is a fair bit of damage control going on. Brooks is the only person I would be able to take reporting this seriously.

That I have no idea.

Could be parts they've been able to confirm. Could be a rookie jumping into the situation is more noteworthy. Could be the recollection of the person they talked to.

But Trouba was definitely involved, and "may" have been the first one to offer a comment on the situation. Not sure about that last point.

The puck usually goes to one of the trainers, as soon as you get to the bench.

Where did ADA hide the puck? The trainers and coaching staff didn't say anything when he stuffed it in his jock strap?

IF this is true, which there's a 99.9% its not, it's even more sad that the team, players, staff etc did nothing.

Honestly, if what Vince said is true and Miller reached out to Tony it shows that he is just a really good dude (already knew that based on his draft profile), and rather than face divisiveness with divisiveness, he takes the high road and tries to bridge that difference with kindness. Really speaks to his character if true, and wouldn't really surprise me. That would apply to the puck-gate rumors as well.

Maybe it would be wrong to read into the team's effort in tonight's game as a reflection on this move, but it'd be nice to see a positive response.

I'm hoping we see a turnaround akin to what Colorado did after dumping Duschene. There's got to be a silver lining in all of this, right?

How could Georgiev be sitting if it happened in the tunnel?

idk...seems like a minor detail that might have been misreported whether it was tunnell or room.

but it does make sense to me. It's hard to see him just choke out Georgiev unprovoked or without a minor confrontation before it.
