  1. @hammertimeAs far as breaching a contract over “protocol” goes I think it’s weak,. as far as breaching a contract over a federal offence goes I think it’s pretty weak as well. Most of these players, including T Berrtuzzi continued to play the game after criminal charges: https://www.thesportster.com/hockey/15-nhlers-who-have-been-to-prison/
  2. Yes,. Unless it’s proven Kane breached his contract. a lot of this will have to do with when tests were taken, what tests showed, and direct communication to the team and player with each other. Its still going to be hard to void a contract over this.
  3. I know? And I guess it leaves a player in limbo,. Adding extra pressure to a situation both parties want to move away from. my guess is the league will hope to make amendments to the CBA because of it , and hope to have that say. I think if the PA takes it to arbitration right away it’s gone.. but considering that both the league and team have agreed, and have now listed Kanes contract as “terminated”. The sharks risk fully paying out Kane his remaining salary for 3 seasons, while he is playing as a UFA for another team. of course the league will probably exempt the Sharks from any cap hit because of it . it’s messy. Today on cap friendly:
  4. Then perhaps it’s others that are too weak? Dennis Rodman and all of his schtick, played with , and was a premier NBA star because his teamates realized that was part of his persona.. He, like Kane a fantastic athletes in their sport. If you think our room is weak, we have bigger problems than Kane arriving. I think the Canucks pack the perfect chemistry for each and any player to compliment the other. SanJose and their 11 m dollar man who is a ghost.. and it peels down from there.. letting Pavelski go for nothing. Hertl trying to use his talent , getting shut down on creativity.. Theres more going on that’s chaos in San Jose that meets the eye.
  5. I think the only reason the league is running with this is to open up a can of worms that has never been opened before regarding player breach of contract. And durring pandemic times with protocols and bubbles lol,. I don’t think that’s in the CBA lol
  6. You make it sound like every one goes out of their way to be “Cancer” lol its an over used term that is getting weaker by the post.. You just can’t let off the throttle ,. That’s soft.. old school drool , tin foil hat theory stuff
  7. Some of the most hated players are on cup winning teams .. think about that.…. The next time you go to church Alf .
  8. Green couldn’t deploy or play “chess” with other teams, he stuck to system basics.. it took the fun and creativity away from players that play that way. that’s not cancer Hef. it’s called boring hockey.
  9. Every Cup winning team has at least 2 players on it that fans despise. think about that for a minute,. And then ask the last time we had players other teams despised ,. And how close we got. If you don’t have guys with rough edge or swagger.. your not going to get close.
  10. I think he did it to protect his assets in the ongoing divorce case before the courts. it dosent sound like his wife has been very honest in many matters when the 2 were together... chances are there are creditors after her,. As much as many here think it’s gambling debts or otherwise. Let’s not lose sight of the fact Messier was a Captain.. his righteousness to be a bitch came with that. Kane with the right group ,. At the age of 30 , and “ Father Time” might just need the right sense of feeling at home right now. His overall points total and +/- is impressive,. And can obviously keep himself game focused, even last season his game was tops.. with no complaints until the recent off season? and recently playing well in the AHL.
  11. Nothing to do with the picture. But you come across as every other poster on here wanting to condemn Kane for breaking laws and wishing to see his career in hockey. I added those names as other hockey players who were convicted as criminals in a court of law and continued playing in the NHL. Kane has been convicted of nothing in a court. my apologies if that confused or offended you.
  12. I think this thread should be closed and matched up with the latest Kane waivers / UFA thread ? anyone oppose?
  13. I’m not making excuses for him Hef,. But the divorce he is going through is brutal,. And anything I’m reading about it, his x is off the rails,. her behaviour has been noted in the Courts and Kane has custody of his child.. Im guessing his child may have been staying in Vancouver with Kanes folks. Which is probably how this latest news came about. People can love their children so much they will do almost anything in that love. but I don’t know the truths in this. This Divorce has been going on over a year, he was focused playing well in a Barracudas uniform. The Vax thing has come to the point that if a person has decided to become unvaccinated, then let them suffer the consequences without any medical intervention . it’s the unvaccinated who are unfortunately dying from this. but I also feel employers have the right to have rules to protect their workers and their business’s to function . Safely for health reasons and or economic sustainability. Kane was wrong, I’d love to hear his reasoning for how or why it happened.. but it was dealt with severely.. and at a cost to him you or I could not afford.
  14. It also adds to the entertainment level of the sport they are in. We generally think of it as sport,. But more so it is merely entertainment. sometimes “stunts” or photo opportunities add to the entertainment value of a sport, increase its popularity. im generally humoured by it,. Usually the case of the more money you have, the more problems come with it lol. probably one of the reasons E Kane has filed for bankruptcy.. lol. . . And yes bankruptcies happen to everyone, even with a happy wife
  15. So I have found nothing that substantiates any federal investigation regarding the falsification of a medical document in this matter. One would think that material, and that proof would have to be there in order to be accused of it and taken to Court over it. But I have found nothing but a journalist stating it. Even the NHL does not mention it directly in there suspension of him breaking protocol, which he served the severe suspension for and apologized for. I say severe , because other athletes have been treated differently in greater sport venues.
  16. Hef, we’re walking beside people everyday that are unvaccinated. when do we start putting them in jail too?
  17. No.. the information and witnesses accounts are judged on what is truth and what is not truth. That is what is judged. Some things never happen at all. Every day, Some people claim they have been hit , and they never have been hit. im not defending him like I wouldn’t with anybody else who has stood in front of his judges and answered to them.. when accusers have lied or falsely misled others to spend time , money , and resources over lies they created. His wife has been found to do even that, by a judge,. In a court, and by the NHL in there own private investigation. what seems more pathetic is those like you who continue to condemn a man who has been proven not only, not guilty.. but not guilty in charges that were lies against him, all to leverage money from him in hopeful settlements out of court. He has wilfully gone to court over false allegations, in the face of offers of out of court settlements, to fight that type of extortion against him. yet you and others seem intent of burying an athlete out of his profession over appearing in Court. ?? and don’t give me the locker room cancer shpeel lol.. never has a team imploded ove a single player in any room.. ever. it’s another myth you might subscribe to. So , go tell the courts they made a mistake.. good luck With that. Not all athletes are Saints,. Hell some have even killed innocent people drinking and driving and carried on with there career, some have been high on cocaine, and acclaimed or heralded for their sporting legacy. But this athlete has done less or nothing at all that way. … you seem to want him to become a doorman at a hotel or less?
  18. But having your picture taken with it enflames so many,. And really it shouldn’t.
  19. Cheers Hef. The sad thing I’ve come to realize in that case is that the NHL is absorbing them self from offering any help to the teen player. The NHL is always off on what they need and don’t need to involve themselves in.
  20. Klingberg is looking for an 8 mil contract as a UFA.. and will probably get it. you have to move that, and still make room for other signings. id live to see Kling here, it’s starts with Boeser and quite a bit more.
  21. Kane is such a sinner hey gurn? Tell me what Dan Heatly did? .. Craig Mactavish? Bob Probert?.. there are others. they all continued with their careers .
  22. Just throwing this out there,. And yes it has to do about the thing that nobody still really wants to learn more about.. The below link enlightend me again on the struggle of other races to compete in the “White Mans” world. Colin Kapernick was able to portray why some of us , including “White” races , have a certain swagger or style to our lives.. They / we , want to be seen , and seen with our own identity,. .. it becomes a defensive mechanism that denies and drives us past those , and things in the way of our absolute goals and dreams.… that’s what I got out of it anyway. .. others , if interested might read into something different. regardless,. I thought very well done,. and if it interests you. https://www.netflix.com/us/title/80244479?s=i&trkid=13747225&vlang=en&clip=81511597&t=amsg
