If you get 2nd line minutes for half a period that's not going to get you very far. Lines have never been the same for more than a period or two. The coach and gm switch the lines 5 minutes into a game. Or they're playing well in the first so he gets the bench down in the 2nd and 3rd and loses. I get you need Nesbitt to develop. But the coach needs to develop him. This coach stands on the bench looking confused 98% of the time. O don't think he could manage a bunch of whores in a whore house if he tried. This GM is a complete joke and has no clue where his head is from his ass. This team is a complete dumpster fire and it's pretty laughable at this point. I only watch so I can see how many mistakes Abraham makes and the amount of ice time he gets because it has to be tops in the league in both departments. Psh.
Hopefully they go after the people that covered it up also.
Hard to bring respect to this game. This game is corrupt and everyone knows it.
It will take decades to clean it up. Just as this has been going on for 20-30 years it will take double that amount of time to make it better. At least the 5 have come forward now but the cover up from Hockey Canada is absolutely shameless. I do feel bad for those NHL teams because they were over a barrel.
True. But it has to start somewhere. When the game started in backyards and ponds, it wasn't about sexual assaults off the ice, or in the training room or hazings, or cover-ups for financial gain and self protection from public scrutiny. Thanks to the US gymnastics, assorted figure skaters, actors/actresses, Epstein case that this behavior must stop. It is not just a hockey issue. We had our own Spits debacle with hazing and the downtown event that split the Spits the following year. Not going to revive that specific topic. Think of those victims as if it was one of your own sons and daughters who were victimized. Sik f'x out there.
Agreed LP can do better and should have their investigation process reviewed n improved. No doubt.
The 5 players did not “come forward.“ They are being given preferential treatment and have been told to surrender to the London Police within X amount of days or a warrant for their arrest would be issued. Don’t make it sound like they are doing “the right thing.”
Where did I say they're doing the right thing. Quite often people are given 5-7 days to show themselves. Pretty much coincides with the Feb 5th news conference. This won't be going to trial for a few years as it is so I don't see the idea of preferential treatment. They will have their day soon enough.
They would play Thursday Saturday and Sunday along with the game ge just played..
