  1. I want to thank all the mods, past and present, for doing a good job here. I have been here for a very long time, so I've had my good and bad moments here. I've been wanting to change my persona from what I used to be, so I will no longer be the same poster, if in fact I move into the new forum. The mods have been extremely lenient with everyone, including myself, so they absolutely deserve a good deal of credit.
  2. People are so harsh on this kid. Injuries and poor coaching did this guy in (Green benched him after Juolevi got his first NHL goal). Hope he can showcase himself in Arizona. Maybe he can make the Canucks regret letting him go.
  3. This is really what happens when you have journalists and pseudo-journalists who have forgotten the importance of journalistic integrity and ethics.
  4. I think this is the most fair take so far. I would THINK (and I could be out of bounds with this one) that Babcock knows this is his one and last shot at being in the NHL. A controversy is not what he wants right now, especially when he hasn't even proven his worth yet in Columbus. Babcock's reputation precedes him and it's not a good one. At the very least he didn't cover up a sexual assault, which is not in any way meant to justify his atrocious treatment of players that he coached. What I meant is there's different tiers of douchebaggery. One thing for sure is that the hate for Babcock will always come back to haunt him. That is something he can't control, no matter how many 'apologies' he makes. From what it sounds like, his apology sounds very sincere. Yet it doesn't matter because no one is obligated to forgive him, no matter how sincere it may be.
  5. I really want to like Rathbone. Offensively, he's great. Defensively, he's really not. Maybe he's better off converting to a forward, which would not be a small task in itself.
  6. Driving under the influence apparently happens a lot more than we realize. Regardless of how many times, it is unacceptable conduct and very dangerous.
  7. What a truly unlucky situation after the free agent signing here.
  8. I remember when people were oozing as Ritchie was playing for Team Canada. I distinctly remember thinking that he was overrated. I've not always been right, but this is one of the few times that I know I got it right, for what it's worth (which is not worth anything)
  9. Old time hockey also had brutal fights and penalties. Europeans were discriminated against (for the most part) and ethnic diversity while taking in account high skill was nonexistent. That era may be nostalgic for many people, but ignorance was bliss.
  10. This is a difficult subject to really talk about - and it's certainly not a black and white scenario. Consent is needed for a kiss here (and other things), which was not obvious at this time for both people. I'm not sure Green truly consented to this, but so far he has not said otherwise. Green and Palffy were teammates at the time, so there was no power dynamic, which is a different scenario with the f**king HEAD of Spanish soccer and a soccer athlete. Trying to compare the two situations is a poor way to make a point on a subject that none of us are truly qualified. What we DO know is that the soccer athlete did NOT consent to the kiss and has stated as such. Consent can be taken away at any time. There's a big f**king difference there. The underscore with this: don't be a f**king idiot and get your consent before you f**king do anything.
  11. The guy needs to resign. If he is able to do this in public, guess what he'll do behind closed doors? I'm guessing he's probably sexually assaulted others, but they haven't been reported.
  12. It's kind of a major oversight, since the event is about Tony Stretcher [sic]'s charity and they couldn't even get the detail about which team he is currently playing for right. It's not the end of the world, but it might very well highlight just how rushed these writers are for time and probably low pay for them to verify every single detail. Writers are criminally underappreciated, much like nurses and teachers. They can shape our lives in different ways. I mean if we have to deepdive into which professions are also important, they all are, such as paramedics, firefighters, and police officers. Society has neglected these people, including cops (poor training).
  13. If the Canucks miss the playoffs, that's going to be an egg on current management's faces.
