TSN: Suspended D Voynov signs in KHL

[oilexport]

So has he ever been in trouble before ? What's his past ?

No previous trouble.

Everyone forgets Patrick Roy was arrested for domestic violence after arguing with his wife. She called 911 after he started tearing doors off inside the house. But hey, she wasn't injured, so let's get Roy's jersey up in the rafters. Never mind he might have actually hurt her if she didn't call the police.

Well here’s the thing- Voynov DID hurt the girl. Badly. There’s no hypothetical hocus pocus that you want to play. They are not comparable.

Roy's wife felt so in danger that she called the police. I'm sure if she had cell phone footage of him tearing doors off the house you'd change your turn.

Craig MacTavish also drove drunk, killed someone, and he returned to the NHL no problem after serving a year in jail (should have been more).

[For a situation like this, context matters. For example, for] me Heatley [was] being dumb [and accidentally killed Snyder]. Voynov was actively trying to hurt someone, Heatley was not. The whole voluntary vs involuntary matters.

If the Heatley incident happened today instead of 16 years ago there would be a huge volume of posts on the forum and all of social media advocating that Heatley should be banned from the NHL for life. IMO probably 10-100x the volume of attention that Voynov has received in posts, social media and mainline media coverage.

Bobby Hull pointed a shotgun at Brett Hull's mom and is pretty up front about his racism as well.

 

[francaisvolantsparis]

I am OK if Voynov is back to the NHL. Just to see: is he as brave then fighting a man in every second game.

Dany Heatley killed his teammate.

My assertion exists in a vacuum. Dany Heatley also had no human right to play in the NHL again.

 

[LEAFANFORLIFE23]

Leafs got a spot.
King's gonna have a spot.
Flames.
The list can go on.
Come playoffs we see Slava.

The Leafs talk CONSTANTLY about being good pros and good character guys I doubt they ever bring him in.

Can you not see the difference between ripping off a door and smashing your wife’s face through a TV?

 

[nbwingsfan]

I already went over this and he deleted the many comments pointing out how much of a terrible argument is it.



Dany Heatley killed his teammate.

*Accidentally* killed his teammate seems to be the word you keep omitting.

You think Heatley thought to himself, “I’m going to purposely smash this car and risk my life so my friend dies!”

Because Voynov DID think “I’m going to smash my Wife’s face and do major damage to her”.

Once again, hope you could see the difference.

Possibly, but the Habs had no qualms hiring Ramage immediately after his sentence expired in 2014 and there was next to no discussion about it either despite him having caused the death of a prominent former NHL player and head coach.

Sometimes, this difference is one sloppy accidental move. Which seems to be what happened according to Voynov's wife Marta. They had an argument, she was drunk, then he pushed her away and she fell in sloppy fashion, hitting the TV.

They cannot. And it is pathetic.

This is your fantasy. According to Voynov and his wife it was an accident.

Lolololol

You really have no clue


Also that the main board doesn’t understand the relationship dynamics between the abused and their abuser is a shocker to absolutely nobody

Slava Voynov suspended by NHL until at least 2020 for domestic violence


2nd paragraph. Stop defending a women beater when you don’t know what he did

 

[Garl]

OK.

You don't believe it can happen? Seriously? Despite the fact that Marta said it herself?

Ah yes, Voynov “accidentally”, punched her at a party, then choked her with both hands, kicked her, then three her into the corner of a TV.... all accidentally because she was drunk

 

[CDJ]

They shouldn’t allow him back in the United States let alone the NHL

We got plenty of scumbags here, he can stay in Russia

I didn't see then (and I don't see now) the upside in hiring Ramage, but he was performing his duties "behind the curtains", so to the speak. It shouldn't be different, but it is... Apparently.

You can call 911 in order to prevent a crime being committed, which is exacly what happened in Michele's case.

As for MacT... it was in the eighties. Different times.

Why would any team want to deal with this PR nightmare?
