News Article: Shane Pinto suspended 41 games for violating gambling rules

[Ghost of Jody Hull]

Well, it's in their CBA. It doesn't matter whether he should be able to or not, it's against the current rules.

Sure, but it’s the height of hypocrisy. How many betting ads do you see during a game?

Bettman will Bettman though. Purity for thee but not for me.

 

[Pierre from Orleans]

Looking forward to our Netflix series. Should be a banger

The team can't even afford to sign him to a QO right now to start his suspension, because even 0.775M of dead weight puts us over the cap. What a shit show.

 

[guyzeur]

Apparently he wasn’t gambling on hockey, but other sports.

I think this is ridiculous if that’s the case. These leagues are fully in bed with sports betting. Why can’t a hockey player make a football parlay?

Billionaire owners happy to take in the millions in new revenue, though.

Gambling is an illness, I hope he learns from this.

Dorion rocks and Brannstrom sucks!

Why just to wake up L'Aveuglette. It's late get up we need you here

 

[frightenedinmatenum2]

Not true. The league doesn't care if you bet on other leagues.

I don't blame him if our last game confused him, and he thought we were an ECHL team.

 

[Ghost of Jody Hull]

Not true. The league doesn't care if you bet on other leagues.

Friedman says it wasn’t NHL games.

 

[guyzeur]

Missing Pinto for 41 games is not good, but this solves our current cap situation. So there is that.

does it?

 

[starling]

How do you suspend somebody who doesn't even have a contract?

 

[Icelevel]

Apologies to Dorion for my harsh words. Although this situation is totally ridiculous it’s not the situation I thought he was dealing with.

 

[inthewings]

You would think a league minimum 1 year contract would be announced any second?

The clock doesn't start ticking on the suspension until he signs. Probably best to sign asap so he can come and join the team the last 30 games or so for a playoff push?

Pinto should want to sign anything to get another season accrued for his benefit + he wants some income, right?

They don't have the cap space. They'd have to send JBD down, but can't because Zub is hurt.

Replace Dorion with swiftwin and Pinto with Dorion

 

[BondraTime]

Also the height of hilarity that the Sens helmet sponsor is Betway

 

[Sens of Anarchy]

I wonder when and how Dorion found this out and then when the league found it out.

 

[BondraTime]

From bets made last year

 

[Icelevel]

Yeah that’s so fing ridiculous. Infuriating. F the nhl and the bs advertising all over the place.

I support pinto if it wasn’t nhl games he was betting on. Get rid of those gambling ads or shut the f up.

Pinto should sue the NHL

 

[swiftwin]

Friedman says it wasn’t NHL games.

What??? Then why wasn't Evander Kane suspended?

 

[BigRig4]

Sure, but it’s the height of hypocrisy. How many betting ads do you see during a game?

Bettman will Bettman though. Purity for thee but not for me.

The obvious difference is that me placing a bet sitting on my couch can't influence the outcome of a game, whereas a player can.

 

[BondraTime]

I wonder when and how Dorion found this out and then when the league found it out.

League found out some point this summer, Dorion likely the same time.

A recent hearing put a pause on all negotiations

 

[Speatleysson]

Shane Pinto you giant moron, probably played his last game as a senator.

 

[Very Stable Genius]

Dorion is teflon, weasels his way out of another mess.

 

[Que]

Negotiations were paused after a recent hearing.

I'd wager that coincided with Pinto heading back to Long Island, so about a week ago

Phrasing BT.

 

[Burrowsaurus]

These quotes make it sound like the team knew, didn't leak anything about the investigation despite being absolutely clobbered by the fanbase and media about the "holdout".

To the point that our own owner didn’t know? And purposely mislead the fan base ? I doubt that. Maybe Dorion didn’t tell him? Which would be amazing
