Around the NHL: And so it begins

Giving them talking points to weather this?

So they'll get a light tap on the wrist too? Hopefully the owners in Winnipeg and Florida have some sort of conscience.

I’ve got to stop reading this stuff. It’s making my blood boil.

Right? I've got a class to teach in 10 min.

Pete Rose them all. Then fine the Hawks 25 million and dock then the next two firsts.

Look on the previous page. You're about $23 million and 2 picks off.

 

[SnuggaRUDE]

Does the money at least go to a fund for the players or back to the league office?

I know, I was living in my world

What is wrong with this league? We may actually need the cancel culture warriors this time for some semblance of justice to be served.

They're small fries. The league is probably far more willing to throw them under the bus than to seriously sanction the team.

 

[Doug Prishpreed]

What was his role at the time? GM?

First we need a catchy name for the group. I'm down Gray Cells Matter.

 

[tsujimoto74]

So nothing

I'm disappointed but not surprised.

Yes, though relatively new in that job.

edit: I'm at page 38 of the report, just at the start of the Black Hawks administration section. Will read more later.

A day with the Cup……. After they knew

That would certainly make future issues a priority for teams to deal with promptly. Or try to bury it completely.

 

[Chainshot]

That's so "hockey culture". The shitty part.

 

[joshjull]

I feel bad for anyone struggling with anything in this league. Dinosaur culture. Lehner took a lot of heat but he was on to something

I'm disappointed but not surprised.

Your comment sums it up pretty well. Sadly, not surprised in the least.

Also missing in all of this, Don Fehr was made aware of this and seems like he too took no action.

 

[Montag DP]

I wonder what happens with Quenneville. I know a lot of people were wishing we could have convinced him to come here to coach, but now it's looking like we dodged a bullet.

 

[Nikolajs Sillers]

Every time we think that Buffalo Sabres is not well run organisation just remember Blackhawks 2010.

 

[Zman5778]

I'm going to be VERY interested to see how the NHL's new money-partners in ESPN and TNT handle this. Maybe if they create enough of a shitstorm, the NHL might actually take action.

Of course, the second I typed that second sentence, I snorted. There's no way ESPN or TNT is touching this story in any major detail.

f*** Q

I'd like to think that the Pegulas wouldn't allow this kind of thing. I'd like to think that Golisano wouldn't have allowed this type of thing.

But the NHL is so much of a old boys club.....I don't know. I suppose Kim wouldn't allow this to happen on her watch, I think.

Frankly, I just don't know anymore. Sports and morality don't often make good bedfellows. Seems like you have to be able to bend your morals in any sport to win.......it's a terrible thought, but..........
