  1. The anti leaf bias on CDC is showing, MM was being hooked and sergachev had plenty of time to either take a loose puck or play the man, he played across the front and made contact with the head, 2 games is fair for this. There was no need to make the hit and if you are plenty of time to not hit the head. MM couldn’t keep his head up as he was being hooked at the same time so there is no blame to be associated with him on this one
  2. This isn’t about sexual abuse but racism and a similar botched handeling, but the ecb has really hit the club hard inwould have liked to see the nhl do an equivalent in this situation but it’s shown to be spineless
  3. That’s not an uncommon position for many sports to take. in Rugby most countries have a rule where if you are not playing in the domestic league you cannot play for the national team. Where multiple leagues are at a comparable level that it fine, but for hockey when the financial power of the NHL is far greater that any other league it wouldn’t work.
  4. Do what Egypt did. Impound the ship, eventually You will get a fee from them, especially in this environment
  5. Not a bug but feedback for how the site managed sexual abuse/assault/rape posts. one thing I have noticed in R/hockey they have the following appended on the top and would feel that for this forum doing something similar would be good
  6. I think Bergevin may be far enough removed from it to not get dragged in. He wasn’t part of the executive group that had the meeting, and his role was more about sorting out places for players to live, the hotels they would then stay at on the road. Getting them settled, sorting out stuff like that. hes not named in the file either and he was likely on the road and not with the players that much. I’m not absolving him from anything but unlike the others there isn’t any fingers pointing at him and he does have an element of removal from the playing team
  7. Until the next post - same thing with the JV thread, if he gets piled on he recants until the next time. At this point I doubt he has learnt more has just said enough to try and shut people up pointing out his awful takes
  8. Your takes on sexual assault in this thread and the Virtanen thread are on poor taste and come across badly. you are either very ignorant about power dynamics or how sexual assault isnt just about physical dominance but how perpetrators can be mentally broken down by their abuses as well. or your default position is that the person who was abused was asking for it because people possibly couldn’t be abuses could they
  9. This is why it’s important to all be vaccinated and not rely on others. Also why booster jabs are important
  10. The punishment is for botching the investigation, do we think more may be coming from the league as they work out what it should be?
  11. I’m probably in a minority view, but voting for school districts to me is not an area I want politics involved in. to me it should be just a subdivision of the local governing body (made up of professionals) which has a set mandate and structure that can be adjusted/influenced by the elected officials of the local government but not directly so. that way people can be fired where necessary and you remove partisanship from it. it has been documented in a number of studies that places which operate a school district policy have students attaining better outcomes when the board is representative of the students backgrounds and ethnicity. in theory this should be able to be achieved by elections however often the structures around voting are steeped in institutional racism, or even where they are not societal structures in most place have the same impact. It takes time and money to run for election to a board, which results in a disproportionate amount of old and white elected members, who are far removed from the reality and recency of schooling. anyway that’s my long rant over, I’m not supervised at the above happening and I hope there is wider coverage and more outcry and that someone picks up the fight that Kolo lluyomade started because these are causes worth fighting over.
  12. After last nights performance Steve Dangle is going to lose his rag. be interesting to see do we get angry Steve or dejected Steve
  13. Dahlen, Dahlen, Dahlen, Dahlen, I’m begging of you please don’t leave My Van, Dahlen, Dahlen, Dahlen, Dahlen, please don’t leave just because you can....
  14. Yep don’t disagree. I think in the UK in the next couple of months the test site for it is going to be awarded (positive steps) and then probably 10 years of NIMBYs trying to block it in the courts, and probably 10 years to build with a contractor falling out with government and it going on hiatus untill government bails them out. with your other post above it doesn’t surprise me. Most Aussies I know can see what is happening and act as best they can but unfortunately you have the inmates running the asylum.
  15. Just wanted to ask it’s not just me is it, while possitionally I believe Demko is one of the best, and he uses his size well to cover the net, but it does seem like he gives up a lot of rebounds. It’s fine when the D sweep it out and tbh with our transitional D it seems to be okay, but I have noticed a few more players start to play it in close and play for the rebounds. I would much prefer him to control and kill the play
  16. What about the rangers colouring with the Canucks words on it
  17. Never said it would be post season or only non playoff teams. would be during the season and invoke all 32 teams as it makes a complete bracket
  18. Prospects are people and not owned Dahlen was in the AHL but ones which are in Europe it applies to even more. All the draft is, is a way of teams saying bagsie on a player, if said player doesn’t want to play for you unless they have a contract they can just walk away especially if they are playing in Europe or. Russia. If you want to keep a prospect you need to keep them happy or if not trade the rights for a player you think you can
  19. I like P Myers and wish we went for him when he was an RFA with the flyers when his stock was lower. however this isn’t the trade I would do to get him.
  20. Because the World Cup of hockey is an artificial construct to replicate a international tournament. this would be a club competition there would be no opt out. This isn’t just a random half baked event designed purely to make money for the league but but a chance within the NHL to win an cup with their team. Something that a player, a coach, the fans most importantly can get behind. Something players can win for each other not just artificially created teams like the all star or WCH events. it’s something that will also take place over the course of the season not as a separate event all in one go. So it might be that in September the first round games are held and it concludes before Transfer deadline day. in the UK as well it’s notorious for a team performing badly to go on a cup run and it helps bust the season slump and bring the team together. I don’t see why a player wouldn’t want to play in it
  21. inthink any player who can win a trophy would want to. plus it’s not EU it’s European or UEFA, as it covers areas such as Russia, Ukraine, Armenia, Israel etc as well
