Around The League - 2024-25 Regular Season

They're all guilty and not one of them will ever play another NHL shift no matter what happens in court. The Court of Public Opinion and Optics matters more than any court of law, at least to any corporate entity that makes money entertaining the public. Aside from that idiotic skit with Tucker Carlson, has Kevin Spacey appeared in anything other than a court room since he was accused of sexual assault? They reshot an entire fucking movie just so they could expunge him from it. What about Jessie Smollet? Has he been cast in anything or even invited to an awards show? Has Marilyn Manson toured recently? In sports and entertainment, perception is the only reality.

Besides which, the court case may not happen for another year or two and these players are not going to be permitted to continue playing in the meantime. They might be suspended with pay, but they won't play prior to the trial and afterward, no matter the verdict, they will be gone. This is a PR nightmare for which (and for once) the NHL isn't solely responsible. And it's a problem that is easy to make disappear simply by blackballing the players. They will be paid out and not offered new contracts. At that point they'll either need to go to the KHL or retire. There will also be a discreet word given by the league to all affected teams that these players are persona non grata and will not be invited to any league or team-sponsored event ever. They no longer exist as NHL players, for all intents and purposes.
 
Terrible situation. No matter what the courts decide, one thing for sure, they're already guilty AF for being really, REALLY stupid.

They risked the future they and their parents worked hard for, all to get some jollies and do high-five's while staring at each others hairy butts. Hard to get dumber than that.

All blame on the directors of Hockey Canada who quit and let this shit go on

Keep your dick in your pants for 2 weeks should off been the message
 
I have basically told the young people in my life this: naked, with other people in a sauna is OK, in a change room is OK. What if sexual arousal is involved? Meaning if you’ve got a fucking Boner, and you’re standing around with other men with a boners, I either hope you’re gay and in a big happy gay orgy, or if there’s a lady involved, you’re being fucking gross .


That? And I like to tell young men these days that no good ever came from taking a picture of your penis and sending it to somebody.

This is all porn culture.

The “porn is empowering” lefties are fucking tools.

I was called out in therapy school for slamming porn

Apparently thinking ill of porn is cis heteronormative western oppression.

I tend to prefer my cis heteronormative western oppression to gang bangs with golf clubs…

Hockey Canada is guilty of a cover up.

But the original incident, if it found to be criminal, is 100% on the players.

Yes and no. If this were an isolated incident then sure, blame the players. But the fact that HC maintained a slush fund to be used to make stuff like this go away tells me that this was far from the first incident they've swept under the carpet. On the contrary, it must be happening often enough that someone in upper management deemed it necessary to have this contingency fund in the first place. To me, that reeks of an organizational culture problem, a culture that nods and winks at sexual assault rather than punishing it. The players take their cues from their coaches and HC executives. If the unspoken message is that rape is just "boys will be boys" then rape is bound to happen.

We must also remember that these players are all or mostly minors from a legal standpoint. Hockey Canada acts "in loco parentis" so they're the responsible adults who must face punishment when the kids under their charge fuck up.

Simply put, Hockey Canada should cease to exist or, at the very least, should not receive one penny of taxpayer money. And resigned/retired or not, the people who were at the top back when the incident took place all need to face criminal charges and prison time for their role in covering it up.

Everyone involved is guilty and they all must fucking hang. Hockey be damned. Next Boxing Day, maybe spend it with your families instead of getting up at 5am to watch a meaningless junior hockey tournament.

Don't kink shame. How is being in a gay orgy more okay than a gang bang with 5 guys and one gal if all are consenting adults? The Team Canada Juniors incident wasn't sex, it was rape. It was a crime, not merely a moral failing.

And stop telling women that porn isn't empowering. The incels have enough trouble getting laid as it is. We don't need to create more of them by telling women that liking porn makes them bad.

you have a strange obsession with millenials/Zs who don't have coitus, why is that?

Exactly , they had a settlement in place to push it under the rug with moola

Did this case resurface after the crooked board resigned and basically lied in court ?

nah once the hockey reporters with axes to grind got involved and went behind NDAs, the uptight politicians got involved, then the sponsors started cancelling, and boom the investigation was back on. They might be guilty, they might not be guilty, the court will decide but at the end of the day, this is a show trial for lack of a better term. Guys like wehave already have them guilty and nothing that happens at trial will change his mind. He is like a MAGA stan re Trump, even when Don is found guilty (likely), he will be innocent in their eyes.

Did you come up with this before or after you saw Drake's hog?

I didn't see this, but this would be an interesting twist.

To add to that, I think it would be only logical if players in the CHL were then allowed to play in the NCAA, that NHL teams should have four years to sign players taken from the CHL instead of two.

well with NIL being there now for players, it is no longer strictly amateur in the NCAA so it makes sense from that perspective (although non-Americans cannot get NIL $$).

There's no "maybe" about any of this. Why would Hockey Canada spend money to cover up an incident if no laws were broken? What would be the point of that? The only reason to cover something up is because what happened was a crime.
