I agree with you. The trauma the two women feel may be similar, but the crimes committed against them are not. It shouldn't have happened to either of them.

It is not my intent to minimize her trauma, I believe it's very real and justified. If Virtanen is guilty of what he is accused of I think he is a monster. I think what Mailloux did was despicable but I don't think the two crimes are similar. Do you disagree?

Thank you, you too.

That's exactly what you did. I don't know. What do you think her take would be?

What he did was wrong, but if you think it's on the same level as rape there's something seriously wrong with you.

No, he was not convicted of a sex crime. He wasn't even arrested. He was fined for invasion of privacy and defamation when he took a picture of the top of a woman's head while she willingly gave him a ***** and shared it with his teammates. I think what he did was wrong but if you put that on the same level as rape you might want to recalibrate your moral compass.

Are you referring to the Habs draft pick? Was he also accused of sexual assault?

That makes me feel much better.

Is derrico back to run the league this year?

I'm experiencing the same thing. My wife and I are vaccinated, our three boys (35, 30 & 25) are not. Curiously irrelevant fact: my wife and I lean republican, all three boys lean democrat.

Hell no!

Have the detail of what happened been released and i missed it?

Go with the goat. A grown man shouldn't wear another mans name on his back.

I love the time, effort and willingness LGR puts into compiling all this information and presenting it in a way for the board to consume. He turned me onto Beniers and i like him very much. Thank you LGR. I also think Power is just as good a prospect. which one a poster would want comes down to the posters personal preference as we could use both players. I believe LGR would like Power more if he was three inches shorter. Over the past couple years hes demonstrated he likes the smaller player, all else being equal. Dont know if its a small personal bias, hes playing the contrarian role against the perceived "big guy love", or if is maniacle, but its there.

I disagree with you about what the return for Reinhart will be because i think whoever trades for him will already have an extension worked out.

I think I want Beniers 1OA. If they take Power I can talk myself into liking it. Anyone else and I'll be disappointed.

$5.25M x 8. Don't know enough about him to know if this deal is good or bad. Anyone?

I think Terry is a meddler. I think he always has been and always will be. But I also think if you're using him liking the expected 1OA pick as an example of it you're trying too hard. Just my opinion, YMMV.

He plays on the right side.

Cause I'm also a Preds fan and I think this was a bad trade.

I am so pissed.

I agree with LGR on this. It IS a job interview, and the interview should be a factor in which kid they decide to hire.

Terry likes the kid expected to go 1OA? Oh my. Clutch them pearls!!

If Sam signs a one deal making him a UFA after next year, what is the cut off date for negotiating a long term. Is it at the trade deadline? Is it the official date of the season? Is he not allowed to negotiate a long term deal at all after signing the one year deal taking him to UFA?

Seems like a lot of important goals are being scored directly off of face-off wins.
