About time

 

[Mr Kot]

OH BOY HERE WE GO!

I'll believe it when I see it. Different "insiders" have been saying this for months.

Outside of small corners of Twitter, most people have forgotten about this. Sponsors have all come back to Hockey Canada. In Ottawa, the announcement of being the host of the 2025 WJC was met with excitement and no mention of scandal.

My bet is the LPD put out a statement that they won't pursue charges and it goes quietly away. NHL will follow-suit in late July when no one is really paying attention.

Feel like there should be a bigger punishment than just a suspension for what occurred.

 

[Canadienna]

Suspensions???

If the context is as bad as it sounds I'd hope for complete bans.

 

[Asdetran]

Some team gonna have lot of cap space soon

 

[Zrhutch]

Just an awful story and I hope the victim can find some peace from this.

It's bad when you have to brace twice

I'll save you the trouble of reading the article when it comes out.

"The league has reviewed the findings and, in light of the severity of what has been alleged, are levying a penalty they find equally harsh. The players involved will be suspended for all remaining off-season games and will forfeit any game checks they would have received over that period. The players involved will not be named at this time (or ever)."

Suspended? Probably more like contracts voided and defense attorneys needed.

They can’t be both suspended and not named.

 

[Bounces R Way]

Well it took a long time. Hope that means they get it right.

 

[Bear of Bad News]

Feel free to NOT SPECULATE ON NAMES.

 

[WarriorofTime]

Probably just be “obstructing investigation” type of stuff. They obviously can’t impose anything criminal and the window for that is passed realistically.

 

[GirardSpinorama]

This will be interesting.

 

[EXTRAS]

I hope the league takes into account what this will do to my fantasy hockey team.

Suspension could be any length, a full season would be a rather sufficient punishment depending on individual levels of participation. I hope they don't spare any details about who the most heinous offenders were.

Could also be an "indefinite" suspension.

Kind of like how Mailloux and Miller are simply ineligible to play in the NHL without direct approval from Bettman.

 

[Kranix]

I really thought it was just going to be Formenton (and he's already out of the league). Interesting it sounds like multiple players are going to be suspended.

There's at least 5

 

[MCR74]

l'll believe it when l see it.

 

[Breakers]

So it’s like 4 possible players if I remember correctly that didn’t come out with statements.

I’m presuming those the ones
What’s that prospect from ottawa?

If the young woman who was the victim in this does not want to relive it why should any details be released to the public? How does that help her?

There is no indication that a potential victim desires for any perpetrators to go unpunished.
