Hockey Canada, if found to be trying to brush yet another incident of gang rape under the carpet, needs to be shut down for good and its executive thrown in prison. People bitch about the carbon tax but don't seem to care that their taxes are paying for HC execs to live high in the hog while shielding rapist players from justice.

WJC would absolutely be a Hockey Canada issue... would this have even hit the desk of hockey canada?

I don't think this behavior would shock many who grew up with friends in the hockey world... canadian elite youth hockey may be the most toxic environment in sports

The title is pure clickbait, but a story we already speculated...

From the comments: NEW TITLE - Ian White and his lifelong addition ended Ian White's career.

Yeah...this would be one of the rare instances where Mike Babcock was not even a tiny bit to blame for fucking up or ending a guy's career. Seems like he gave White a helluva good opportunity, Detroit signed White when he had no other offers and Babcock immediately paired him with Lidstrom for most of a season and in general played him almost every game.

At least, until White's full blown drug & alcohol addiction got to the point where he was sleeping (or in a drug-induced coma) through multiple practices. Only at that point did he become a regular healthy scratch and then not get re-signed.
 
I watched the second part of the interview.. and it gets even more wild. He did eventually get sober (alcohol/drugs/fentanyl) after getting arrested on gun charges in Winnipeg/Kenora and spending time in jail.

Man, the NHL really is a dumbass, copycat league ruled by recency bias.

After years of his and every other max-term, huge AAV goalie contract (like Price or Gibson) being an unmitigated disaster, Bobrovsky wins a Cup.

Now GM’s are suddenly falling over each other to sign their starters to massive AAV eight-year contracts.

These are smaller cap hits with a rising cap.
