Would you let your daughter listen to his degenerate, criminal, misogynistic "art"?

Jay Z. Very fitting

100%. There will undoubtedly, be bad humans in hockey until hockey ceases to exist. For me, I have a 2016 who is already getting invites to play all over Ontario. This will be an absolutely invaluable lesson for him in decision making. Women and booze are the worst enemy of a teenager with aspirations. This is the basic truth of every adolescent athlete. Both should be avoided. That's no fault of women, it's mostly the fault of mixing male teenage hormones with alcohol. Almost nothing positive can happen.

I 100% understand my daughter is a female, and I understand they can have motives, as well, yes. I played junior. There's a type here that wants hockey player dick, and nothing but. It cuts both ways. Now, if they drugged her, and raped her, whatever, sure, like I said, they should swing from a tree, but we don't know.

That culture, which 100% existed, if not exactly how some describe it, is gone. Hazing doesn't happen. Rookie parties (which was a big time risqué activity) don't happen. Junior players have their supervision cranked up 11. They are more interested in nutrition, education, and video games than ever before. Nobody cares if there's a minority on the team, anymore. Half the kids are minorities. Attitudes have changed. I live it everyday, at the rink. The pointed education they get around these events is a big deal. 5 years ago doesn't seem too long ago, but these kids wouldn't be too far removed from the previous culture. I don't know the facts, none of us do, but I've seen enough of cases like this to remain suspicious. Cases like Mailloux and Virtanen (and Trevor Bauer) were ultimately pretty frivolous.

This isn't the USA lol

This is going to cause such a pearl clutching fiasco in this country. It'll be nothing but "toxic hockey culture" for months. I'll probably have 5 new mandatory courses to complete to match all the "touching little boys penises is bad" mandatory training from the Grahaeme James Era. If they truly truly did something egregious then I hope they swing from a tree, if only for the fact I'll have to listen to talking heads tell me why hockey is evil for the next 12 months. I guess we'll have have to wait for it to play out. It's hard for me to fathom how much more sanitized the game can get at the grassroots level, if there was a problem at one time, it's long gone. Long long gone, but nobody will care. They'll latch on to this like nothing ever seen before. Anyways, at least the NFL still gets a free pass.

If they were in the NFL this would be worthy of one sentence in a rotowire report.

Crosby was pretty close to this point, now it's not a thing. Hasn't been a thing in 15 years. I'm not convinced that it's not like IBS or fibromyalga. You see what you want to see.

They have a 81 year old building their team. It would be good for us if he stuck around another decade.

There's hundreds of coaches out there with ideas, the easy thing to do is just go with the defacto guy on the old boys list. Not that that he was necessarily the wrong choice. I don't know, nobody knows, yet.

Good thing we got that coach all the puck knowers wanted. I'm excited to see how he turns it around. All the adjustments and stuff. Lots of adjustments.

He definitely has problems. He can neither skate, or shoot and he's 175 pounds. Who cares? He's the poster child for deception, and his brain is a Pentium 166 w/ MMX while everyone else is still running a 486. Deception is the newest shiny thing and he is the best at it.

Lias Andersson Nils Lunqveest Vitaly Kravtsov Lindbom Remember when they drafted a couple Czech overagers? lol. It's pretty obvious

He prefers to use his face

That's absolutely insane. I spent 10 years out there and never witnessed it that bad. Hopefully you didn't go with the government rebated heat pump lol

Our depth had Blidh out

Quick gets all the muffin assignments, though. High danger chances trying to be converted by lesser than finishers. That's real. The more Quick plays, the more he'll be exposed. The answer isn't Quick, the answer is Igor playing better, or else there is no answer.

His play is definitely an issue. It's going to be a down year for Igor. Just one of the many reasons investing more than 6 or 7 million in a goalie is bad business.

It is important to keep their injury issues in mind when grading the team performance, but that's on the FO to a degree.

High danger chances are cool, but they're not all created equal. So many high danger chances the Rangers get feel like I would make the save as they are telegraphed. What opposition is doing seems different. They have guys popping in and out of nowhere, causing chaos and leading to a number of basically unstoppable chances. (Shersterkin also needs to stop the run of the mill grade A chances, which he isn't doing)

That's definitely how it feels.

Are they worse 5v5 in their own end vs last year? Fancy Stat guys?

Shesterkin should have a chat with his buddy Samsonov

Quebec may leave Canada any minute. We pray they do.
