    Rick Westhead of TSN reporting that Hockey Canada paid out plaintiffs 12 times over the years and one player was involved in 4 incidents, costing them $1M.

    Wow, a repeat offender keeps coming back. I am really disappointed with that organization. So many people were hurt and it was hushed up because these guys are “hockey stars”.

    I'll try this again.😁

    Pinkman went up to Alaska after Walt died.

    I wrote that in a confusing way. I could see gene ending up in Alaska with Jesse.  Walt would appear in a flashback perhaps.

    I'd have to think the four incidents happened and then they all came out later. I would hope after one incident they'd kick the kid out of the league. At least I hope.

    I don't want to defend the guy (I've heard from reliable sources he's always been an arrogant a-hole) but the justice system is what it is and if a person is found not guilty we can't just go on believing what we want to believe. imo if he's good enough he should get an NHL shot. If we move into a world where any accusation leads to a conviction then pretty soon no young people will ever have sex again. Either that or they will have to sign nuptial contracts before every encounter. 


    he was a decent third or fourth liner but that’s about it. Maybe time will heal if he goes over there for a couple years.

    On a semi related note, Virtanen just got off in his trial. Jury found him not guilty. As the story went the woman in question had a few memory lapses on events so Jake's lawyer stressed the "inconsistencies" and she hadn't fought back enough to convince the jury she wasn't a willing participant. 

    In these cases, I suspect they will be even harder to "prove" with the time that's gone by, but that videotape is still the main piece of evidence. 

    That's the unfortunate part of these types of cases. Essentially he said she said and very tought to convict. To Russia he will probably go I'd imagine.

    Technically no, there isn't. Generally sexual abuse cases are not tried after 5 years and they are almost impossible to prove after lengthy amounts of time BUT there is no statute of limitations and since this is high profile and in the media spotlight charges are possible. I suspect that that would hinge on the videotape and if they have it though. 

     

    This is certainly an unusual case in that 20 years later it’s not a he said she said but an actual video tape. That’s just crazy to me. I just did a quick google and it seems Canada does not have a statute of limitations so there are few guys lawyered up and looking at some prison time in this I’d imagine.

    Not particularly.

    Tkachuk at least they signed so you could convince me Huberdeau, a 1st, and Weegar is an okay trade because 2 of them at ufas next year. But I guess when you're that close you gotta take your cup shot.

    Flags fly forever. They’re in the one piece away from a cup mode.
