GDT: R2G4 - Stars @ Avs - The Gang makes a GDT

Out for the rest of the playoffs? Just put a pin in them

 

[pockets]

Because if he is out for the third time in 12 months for off-ice issues he is a huge liability who cannot be trusted to stay on the ice.

I literally said “if it’s not drugs/alcohol or anything else off-ice related” since Dater is apparently walking back his tweet that it’s related to previous issues.

 

[SirLoinOfCloth]

Dater is an irresponsible dipshit. That guy shouldn't let within 30ft of a mobile device or computer.

I'm not even surprised. We weren't allowed to have Drouin back without a sacrifice.

 

[The Shermanator]

What the actual f***

 

[henchman21]

If he's dumb enough to not realize he's on a list to test more after his issues... jesus.

 

[dahrougem2]

Lmao failed drug test? Is the biorhythm still f****d?

 

[nammerus]

That seems to contradict his previous post..of it not being related to drugs.

 

[NOTENOUGHRYJOTHINGS]

Since when are players drug tested? Was this always a thing?

 

[avalanche_country]

Not sure Ive ever heard of a failed drug test in the NHL.

 

[sethro109]

I hope he ate a poppyseed muffin.

 

[pockets]

So now it is back to being drugs/alcohol? Yep, it may be time to terminate his contract…

For the first positive test, a 20-game suspension without pay and mandatory referral to the League's Substance Abuse/Behavioral Health Program for evaluation, education and possible treatment. For the second positive test, a 60-game suspension without pay. For the third positive test, a permanent suspension.

Yeah... stipulated in the CBA. One of the reasons coke is popular is how quick it leaves your system.

Happens quite a bit, there is no real policy to suspend unless it is PED... but drug tests are common.

That's PEDs... not recreational drugs.

 

[twostroke2023]

Dater now saying he failed a drug test

 

[avalanche_country]

I Fing hate to say it, but props to Dater for forcing their hand.

 

[The Merchant]

You have got to be f***ing kidding me.

 

[nammerus]

Jesus…

 

[ASmileyFace]

No f***ing way. f***

 

[The Shermanator]

Laugh? Cry? It's just sports right?!?!

 

[The Pwnerer]
