Tony D off the Boat from Russia scores his first Isles goal in OT.

[Dingo]

Nothing official ever came out. Just that he used “slurs” in junior and was suspended by the team.

wow. i asked the question thinking that it might be yet another example of the modern Puritans making a mountain out of a molehill.... but even I expected more than this.

He is a pos.

Tony is on record as saying that he apologized to and remains friends with the individual involved in the situation. Funny how the “victim” has apparently forgiven him but so many here don’t have that in them. Telling…..

What about sucker punching his goalie in the tunnel? We forgetting about that ?

Deangelo is proof that winning is all that matters.

• While he had an offensively-productive season with the Crunch, scoring six goals and 37 assists in 69 games, DeAngelo was also a healthy scratch for eight games, a decision rumored to be a combination of behavioral issues and poor defensive ability.
• On January 1, 2017, DeAngelo was suspended for three games for physical assault of a referee during a 4–2 loss to the Calgary Flames the day before.
• Quinn had a notable intolerance for the outbursts that had characterized the earlier part of DeAngelo's career; the player was a healthy scratch for about 20 games during the season. Despite serving on the top defensive pair with Marc Staal, Quinn benched DeAngelo for two games in a row due to what he said was a "maturity issue" stemming from a game against the Philadelphia Flyers.
• On opening night of the 2020–21 season, DeAngelo took an unsportsmanlike conduct penalty that Quinn called "undisciplined", and he was subsequently benched for the second game of the season. General manager Jeff Gorton later said that DeAngelo "wasn't able to move on from that" incident, and that he was told that, if there was another behavioral incident, he would be placed on waivers. On January 31, 2021, following reports that DeAngelo had a physical altercation with Rangers goaltender Alexandar Georgiev following a 5–4 overtime loss to the Pittsburgh Penguins, the Rangers placed DeAngelo on waivers.

Plus the SKA thing posted above, these are all from his professional career. But yeah it's all politics and something he said as a teen, sure

He took a boat from Russia?

I get the salaries over there are pretty bad but transportation by boat bad?

Rumour has it he was shipped over in a shipping container.

 

[Realm]

Told you he could help an NHL team

Yeah, he helped the Wild score 2 goals on Saturday.

That makes him a racist?

 

[Bozo Nicholson]

I heard he’s a real stand-up bloke.

oh the humanity

oh the humanity

Definitely seems like a stable individual and not at all a complete headcase.

It's not about forgiveness. Forgiveness is for the people giving it, not for the other person. People forgive guys that murder their family members all the time, that doesn't mean they don't still think the guy is a pos.

I don't know DeAngelo at all, but based on everything I've read, seems fair to think the guy is not the best character guy you like having around and it's not simply because of something that happened in junior 10+ years ago. Something seems to happen with this guy from time to time, to this day....most recent being in Russia. Who knows what happened, but clearly something where he's no longer with the team and he came back to NA. I hate to blame him for that, because who knows....but with his history, you figure he's at least partly at fault.

He's also the only player that has gotten bought out of his NHL contract twice I think. Doesn't seem like he was making so much money where it had to be done for cap reasons either.....but again....who knows.

 

[TheBeerNerd]

Regardless of DeAngelo's racism or lack thereof, what can't be disputed is that he's been a horrible teammate both in the NHL and the KHL. There are rapists and pedophiles that go to the K because they can't play in North America, and yet he was considered a worse locker room cancer than guys like Mikey McLeod and Reid Boucher.

Noted problem child Ryan Suter is also on that list.
