EP Phone Home Posted July 26, 2022 Share Posted July 26, 2022 It’s great he gets a new lease on life and hopefully this is what wakes Jake the F up and mature into an adult and perhaps turn his career around. Happy that those that came up with the name “Jake the Ripper” can now stop and give this man his second chance. Because I believe we all have been given a second chance in life and why shouldn’t Jake be any different? I hope that women continue to stand up to predators that conduct harmful experiences and trauma. Jake has been deemed innocent but many others are not. Always speak up when it doesn’t feel right.

People on here can trash him all you want but his position with all the temptation is not an easy one to control. It's not easy, but many do resist the temptations when that little voice kicks in. Hey, it's ok to be young and party...even to excess. But let's face it, it likely interfered with what was a promising career. If he'd applied himself more and maybe not shown up for practice completely trashed from the night before who knows how things might've panned out for him? We had all kinds of reason to believe he could be a good power forward for us, but it was hit and miss for sure. Living a party life takes a toll. There are choices to be made in life and sometimes sacrifices as well if you're chasing a dream. It's ok to be young and party....but if it interferes with a promising career it's something to think about, that's all. I'm sad things turned out this way because I had high hopes for Jake. But he made choices in life that landed him where he is. It's not JUST that he was accused in this case....the way things unfolded with him left many wondering why. Maybe he wasn't as committed to the program as he needed to be. 1 2 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The system did its job, everyone can move on now. Yeah I'm not sure either. Canucks handled the situation appropriately. From the odd whispers I've heard Jake doesn't have the greatest reputation. And I think his immaturity was demonstrated in his NHL career. Knowing that I tend to think she wasn't lying, but the trial has concluded. For Jake's sake this better be a wake-up call, & hopefully she's able to move forward as best as possible. 1 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Curmudgeon Posted July 26, 2022 Share Posted July 26, 2022 1 hour ago, Vinny in Vancouver said: I would say (sadly) that the biggest lesson so far from this off-season of sexual assault stories is: if you want to cut down on the probability of being sexually assaulted by hockey players, stay far away from them. So, the onus is on the potential victim to avoid those rascally boys who will be boys? How about strict instruction as early as 13-14 years old for all players about sexual activity, consent, the dehumanizing effect of gang-assault and the dehumanizing effect of initiation rituals and hazing having to do with sexual activity? If you want to stop sexual assault, stop the assaulters, and to stop them you have to educate them. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just hope everyone can appreciate a redemption story and every deserves a second chance in life. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I remember getting into it with a guy who didn't want to trade him a few years ago because of the Cam Neely trade. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RU SERIOUS Posted July 26, 2022 Share Posted July 26, 2022 Even though the Jury could not convict him "BEYOND ANY DOUBT" of rape of the girl he raped, he'll always be known as Jake "The Ripper" in my books! Hope he finds a better path forward in life! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also there is no longer a crime of rape on the books, it is now called sexual assault. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Only people who would know that would be those also in the Vancouver nightlife. Entirely likely the accusers are as terrible as the accused. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hockeygod77 Posted July 26, 2022 Share Posted July 26, 2022 ew sign him to minimum contract..no worse than kane who has new chance..i think if jake can get stronger and just be bit more focused it could be a good re signing..what happened is history...most good players have some trouble...nba stars nil stars baseball you have guys with big egos no brain at times but great talent...kevin durant donaldson tiger woods etc...these guys are only human...women sometimes act too much too..so not easy for star players that have limited social time and are just plain horny...

Based on what I read I lean to believing what she said, but I also didn't have the task the jury did. I hope she does remain anonymous because we all know what social media will do to her now. 24 minutes ago, Bob.Loblaw said: The system can't really do much with a he said she said case.

He does have a bad reputation but thats also not enough to hang a person. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There was a ton of back and forth for logical and illogical reasons for many years around Jake. But as someone who faithful supported him for years on the ice here, I can truthfully say this is the most "support" Jake has had for many, many years here. Personally, I find that disgusting. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why would somebody do that to themselves and re-live it? A coping mechanism for a brain trying to deal with a traumatic experience? It's called Trauma Bonding and it's s actually not peticularly uncommon for victims to lean in closer to abusers after a traumatic experience to try to rationalize past experiences, peticularly when there is a higher then normal power imbalance. We obviously don't know what happened for sure, but I can tell you that how she handled the situation after wasn't as crazy as it sounds if you have some training and education on how humans handle trauma.
