Waived: [NYR] Tony DeAngelo (Mod: No politics)

[CNYCrunchfan1]

Some people never conquer their anger issues...if he hasn't by now he never will. Not worth the aggravation, especially since he has repeatedly had those issues with his own teammates.

 

[Spring in Fialta]

DeAngelo is so cooked. I'm tempted to say he's done in the NHL.

 

[vanarchy]

I would be astonished if any NHL organization was dumb enough to give this unrepentant, unsalvageable, cancerous, bigoted POS another chance. Because he definitely does not deserve it.

This is despicable.

Tony is only 25, so he can be bought out this summer for minimal cap hit. I doubt any team will claim him, but that could be a consideration in terms of a team rolling the dice on him for the rest of this year.

Its not just the cap hit though, thats a lot of real dollars in a season where owners are going to lose money

DeAngelo was suspended by his own team in junior for a racist-or-homophobic slur.

 

[InfinityIggy]

Guy with history of racism treats visible minority teammate poorly.

Anyone defending this clown should take a long walk and think about why they feel the need to do so.

 

[CanadianCoyote]

But guys, let's wait for DeAngelo's side of the story!!!1! /s

Seriously, the dude keeps blowing every chance he has. He's been racist in junior, he's clearly not learned his lesson from bouncing around the league.

Dude's nowhere near good enough to be able to overshadow his stupidity with his play, which is what usually saves star players if they say or do really stupid shit.

 

[IHaveNoCreativity]

He’s out of the NHL, possibly forever.

this stuff isn’t new, go back to his prospect thread he’s been a known problem and it was always overlooked due to his talent. He got that contract because he can play, doesn’t change his shitty behaviour.

 

[HawkeyTalkMan]

I hope he releases a post on social media crying because he lost his job and they torched his contract claiming he is sorry and misunderstood

 

[vanarchy]

I gotta salute the Rangers for taking the trash out. He's had plenty of chances.

TB got rid of him under suspicious circumstances. He was getting scratched in Syracuse despite putting up good numbers, and then we sold low on him at the draft -- Yzerman never sells low. They wanted him out of the organization.

Not sure if something similar happened in Arizona, but yeah, this goes back to junior.

It's amazing that a guy this talented might not be able to get an NHL job after this.

 

[McShogun99]

Imagine being such a racist pos that you can’t even hide it while making 4.8 million a year.

 

[Oscar Lindberg]

There’s nothing that brings the hockey community together like roasting Tony DeAngelo

It’s not amazing, it’s the sad reality that Aliu and the HDA referenced.

The NHL isn’t ready for this kind of change. It took Gregoriev and Kreifet to oust DeAngelo who is good.

I wanted Minnesota to claim him before I knew that racist treatment was involved, so I’ll put it out there my bad.

 

[Spring in Fialta]

Dumb and sick. He's going to go down as one hell of a story.

He's like a Sean Avery in an era that doesn't tolerate Sean Averies.

 

[HabsWhiteKnightLOL]

AHAHAHAH

 

[metalan2]

Pens should sign him.

 

[Eternal Leaf]

If true, he should be out of the league.

 

[Spring in Fialta]

Hopefully the lawyers for the Rangers find a way to not pay this half-a-man a cent.

 

[Chips]

The "locker room cancer" theory is pure speculation. Every indication is to the contrary, so those people need to explain why they are bringing up something completely unfounded. And the Rangers need to explain why they've made this decision. It clearly seems like a falling out between player and coach/management.

I won't make much comment about your second comment because I know the drill, but I will only suggest that you don't seem aware that your views are not as widespread as you believe. You should try to be more open-minded about other viewpoints, and at least acknowledge their prevalence instead of castigating people for thinking differently than you.

Follow up from Blueshirt Banter rags blog


“The incident, which specifically triggered the altercation last night, was possibly a miscommunication that led to Sidney Crosby’s overtime goal. However, based on information Blueshirt Banter has gathered on background for multiple years now, the two were apparently never on the best of terms as far back as the 2017-18 season when the two were teammates in Hartford, the AHL affiliate.


*Furthermore, three separate sources independently confirmed to Blueshirt Banter that there was concern at various levels of the organization regarding DeAngelo’s treatment of rookie defenseman K’Andre Miller. Sources did not wish to go on the record with specific examples but indicated that it was an issue that caught the attention and ire of multiple players in the organization.

Additionally, sources say tension has been building up in the locker room prior to the incident on Saturday night.”

[Emperoreddy]

Shit stain human being who has had plenty of chances.

Rangers are right to take the trash out.

Miller has a bright future. He should not have to ever put up with crap like that.

Good on Kreider if jts true he knocked his racist ass out.

 

[Whoot Whoot]

I have a sneaking suspicion that the two statements in this tweet are not unrelated.
