If Dube is one, it's very poor taste that he used mental health reasons as why he was stepping away from the game. It's not mental health, it's sexual assault... You're not struggling with your health, you gang raped an underage girl.

I was wrong.

Erik Johnson has been their biggest defensive liability. Hell, Samuelsson has been worse than Clifton recently. Clifton struggled early because the Galaxy-brained coach put him on his off wing and he couldn’t do it. Once they switched him back he was fine. The Sabres are the ones who signed him based on fancy stats, oh and coincidentally he was in the USA hockey development program under Granato. That probably had more to do with it. As for GMKA not making big UFA acquisitions, he spent this entire offseason courting Patrick Kane and didn’t get anyone to replace Jack Quinn when they knew he wouldn’t be available until mid-season. He signed several guys who ended up in the AHL (Stillman, Bryson, Jost) which is just dead cap space. My current opinion is that Granato needs to go but GMKA might be able to salvage his job if he makes good acquisitions at the deadline and in the offseason. I just worry that firing him would cause the same chaos as it did the past three times, where the new GM cleaned house and tried to start over and like, what would even be the point of that now? Go into another rebuild for another 3-5 years? Anyway none of this matters at the moment because the poo poo with the 2018 world junior team is hitting the fan, finally.

I'm holding out hope that it's that he knew because he's the captain, and he's struggling with not coming forward with info. That's not a great human thing to do, and I'm not excusing it, but it's less evil and his actions are understandable (not defensible) in this poo poo culture.

The Flyers have a mid-season press conference in 15 minutes. We'll probably not hear anything from Briere, but I'm sure the question's going to be raised.

Glad they somehow found out early and never signed the fucker, maybe the only morally correct thing done by the Melnyk regime

Formenton being one of the 5 has been obvious ever since the Sens banished him to Switzerland 2 years ago.

Conference just started with this: "So we are aware of this morning's press reports on a very serious matter. We will respond appropriately when the outcomes of the investigations are made public. The NHL has been very clear that teams should refer all investigation related questions to them. In the meantime, members of the organization including Flyers players will not be commenting any further." He's done.

Yeah I've been trying to get into hockey casually the last three years and between the black hawk stuff and this and God knows what else I've missed it doesn't give me a lot of confidence to keep getting into the sport. I don't even want to be a fan of any individual player now lol

Saw this just pop up on Reddit: https://dailyhive.com/toronto/john-scott-corey-perry-blackhawks-oilersquote:“He made a mistake in Columbus one night,” Scott, who also works on the NBC Sports Chicago broadcast team, said. “He drank too much and he made a pass at a staff member who worked for NBC.”

I read elsewhere that a few of the players on that team (including Makar) said they didn't go to the event at all, which is probably in the report that Hockey Canada has been working on trying to kill this story so diligently.

The NHL sat on this for years waiting for some gigantic gigastory to consume sports media for a week so they could try to sneak the WJC report in under the tsunami. Must've finally gotten to where they couldn't sit on it anymore and so settled for Utah and Creepy Rory.
