I don’t think anything is going to happen, but I would love to be proven wrong. It didn’t only happen in hockey either, I played football and it happened there too. Even worse, it happened in my high school. Grade 12 students abusing grade 8 students. It was normally the more vulnerable grade 8 kids that were abused. I’m actually shocked it’s still happening now, or at the very least as late as 2014. That’s crazy. That’s over 30 years for sure. Maybe longer.

These kids are minors. The only way this sh*t ever stops is if the "adults" in the room stop it. No amount of education will stop these kids from doing what they do. Remember, these are kids that are in high school. The article mentions how the coaches, trainers, etc. knew exactly what was happening and not only did they not stop it from happening but laughed it off. This was the same when I was in high school. Nothing seems to have changed in 20+ years. The only way to fix this for good is for these adults to get arrested and charged with criminal negligence, or whatever other charges they can get through to Crown Counsel. The judge throwing out the class action lawsuit is a joke, as now these people will have to come forward individually and force themselves to come out publicly. A class action lawsuit would have prevented that from happening and would have kept the victim's identity a secret. Not sure the NHL or any other sports league is going to protect these kids. Sports is all about the money and these sports leagues will do whatever is necessary to protect their image so they can make their millions for themselves and for the owners of the teams.

Looks like they are pumping up Mahomes. Saying he could break Brady's record. How convenient as Brady retires that they have the new face of the NFL. It's all rigged folks...

That stuff has been happening forever. Even when I was in high school, we had sh*t like that. If they haven't fixed it by now I am not sure they ever will. The judge also threw out the class action lawsuit and said they would need to all sue individually, which means they would have to expose who they are. So not sure many people will come forward as a result.

If Martin gets claimed, then we would need a goalie. If we traded for Petersen we could just send him to Abby. Maybe there is a 1st round pick involved or a RHD from LA to take on Petersen's contract. We have enough cap space to take on Petersen's cap hit if he goes to Abby. Maybe we are weaponizing the cap space we have...

Exactly. How is a rusty Demko going to help us win? Even prior to his latest injury he wasn’t helping us win so there won’t be any difference when he comes back. There are proper ways to tank. And I think management has done a great job with the stealth tank. Shutting down Mikheyev. Trading BO for picks and prospects. Giving Myers lots of ice time. And I assume there will be additional moves at the deadline as well.

Martin hasn’t won a game since forever. You can’t keep him on the roster over Delia. Everyone knows Martin sucks right now. You don’t stick Delia on waivers if he’s earned the right to be on the roster. Some of this tanking stuff is just way over the top and downright silly. Blaming management as well is also silly.

What difference would it make if we sent Delia down? If Demko is ready to go he will be the starter and Delia will be playing maybe once a week. Won’t make a difference to the tank. Also sends a pretty bad message to the team if you are keeping the goalie with 0 wins on the roster and putting the other goalie on waivers. There are ways to tank properly. This is not one of them.
