Rumors only, no actual journalism to back it up but Arizona is currently seeing their COVID caseload steadily increasing.

 

[doulos]

I wonder if we will see any athletes with lasting respiratory damage that could impact their careers. Certainly hope not.

We really don't even know if they have any symptoms or are actually sick in anyway

Soon as Covid is brought up it's like people think these people are in ICU on their death beds.

 

[joestevens29]

I don't understand the math and the list of people below it.

 

[Aerchon]

So...

Scouting for this years draft is basically done. Next years draft will be delayed at best...

Pegula just trying to save money? Will he even bother replacing these guys until things return to normal?

 

[yukoner88]

Thank God mact isn't gm, there's one name on this list he'd cream his pants over becoming a free agent

I would be concerned about the range of possibilities between ICU/death and no symptoms. Particularly long term if I was a professional athlete who was making a living based on having an elite set of lungs (among other body parts)

 

[joestevens29]

I find it funny that the reason Botterill was canned because he refused to slash personnel.

Nothing to do with him not being good.

Dan “Car Bomb” Carcillo at it again. The same talentless guy who tried to end careers in the NHL looking for scapegoats to cover his lack of morality. I wish he’d dry up like the piece of shit that he is and go away.

While by no means do I agree with some of the hazing that has happened, but if they win this case what kind ripple effect is there going to be in Canada.

Schools, minor leagues for kids, colleges etc... have all had this.

Rookie weeks use to be a common thing back in the day, are we now going to have every kid that got paddled going after the people that allowed it to happen.

I agree - hazing and bullying is garbage - but Carbomb retires from the game where he was trying to end other players careers daily that paid him millions and suddenly has this epiphany? Sorry Dan. I don’t buy your self righteous bs.

I got hazed on the football team. Who should I sue?

 

[Senor Catface]

The allegations include "heavy objects tied to their genitals, had their genitals dipped in irritants and toxic liquids and had objects such as hockey sticks, brooms and food forced into their anuses"

So maybe we shouldn't equate it to whatever relatively harmless things people think about when they think of hazing, like taping a guy upside down.

This is serious, if true.

It is a shame that Carcillo is at the heart of this lawsuit. It's so dang hard to take it seriously because of him and how he's acted in the past years.

Wonder how hard he tried to get others on board with him. Figure he should have been able to get more than 1 in the current climate of calling out abuses if he really tried.

The stories from Jr B "rookie parties" that I was told by people who went through them should have led to charges as well, but hockey is worshipped in Canada so the process is going to be long and slow to get it changed.

Hazing and bullying I’ve no tolerance for. These allegations are disgusting. But I just can’t take Carcillo seriously.

Wasn’t he one of the worst offenders as far as hazing kids when he was a vet?

 

[Cloned]

So let me get this straight:

Buffalo fired Botterill for literally all the wrong reasons and otherwise they were going to keep him for literally all the wrong reasons?

Damn. That's like DoD Oilers x 9000 times worse.

I'm not sure which is actually the worst part. That they fired him for refusing to fire 22 people or that they weren't going to fire him for being a bad GM.

 

[KevinRedkey]

Ive been looking around the league for a 3C for next year, and I think I have found the perfect fit.
Mattias Janmark

He's a 30pt kinda guy who can chip in some goals and is known mostly for his defensive abilities. He's a UFA at years end and should come in in the 3.000 range which is very reasonable for a solid 3C.

I hope Holland takes notice, and Dallas lets him walk.

 

[Ritchie Valens]

Jesus Murphy. That is straight up sexual assault with a weapon and as we all know stuff like this can have serious, life long mental impacts. What the f*** is wrong with people? This shit just didn't cross the line, it pole vaulted over it.

This was pretty common when I played.

Is it really that shocking given things that have transpired in Buffalo over the past few years?

I suspect the Sens are going to have some interesting news soon. No way can they let Buffalo take away their stupidity spotlight
