Yet another reason this dude should not be involved in the sport
- mcefalu

It wouldn't be so bad if people just acknowledged the truth: These dudes are all professional athletes, and they're all pretty much the same. They do the same stuff, which is all the stuff that money and fame allows them to do.

Regardless of skin color. Regardless of socioeconomic background.

Jeff Carter and Mike Richards wrecking every drunk college chick they can find is no better than Shawn Kemp having 10 kids.

Hockey players (as a majority) are different athletes.

Really?

Because I swore Mike Danton was caught hatching murder for hire plots... what's more thug than that?

Fans in their 20s and maybe early 30s may only know the name. The guy should be pretty infamous with people over 40.

That's precisely it. Most of my friends and I are in our late 20s to early 30s, so people may have heard his name, but that's about it.

I'm personally looking forward to Lecavalier returning. It's a shame he got hurt, because he looked good in the first few games.

He can be fun to watch when he's on his game.

Kevin Stevens, hookers and crack,
Bob Probert, caught sneaking coke over the border in his underwear,
Pat Kane, punching cabbies for pocket change,

etc.

The Kings have been a machine. The Carter-Pearson-Toffoli line has been great. They haven't missed a beat in losing Voynov & Gaborik.

A win for the Flyers would be huge.

Hell, Ryan Malone just a few months ago

I loved Bob Probert as a player, but he really needed help, off the ice

Well, it is better because there aren't a bunch of little Carters and Richards running around Old City. None of us wants that.

Man am I relieved Kane got that raise that year.

The effects of the reign of terror of the likes of Mike Richards, Jeff Carter, Pat Burrell, and Jayson Werth from 2007 - 2010 probably won't be seen until about 2025 or so.

Still can't believe Tocchet didn't spend a day in jail AND was welcomed back into the hockey community after getting busted for that gambling poop. Meanwhile, Evander Kane, his money phone, and his YMCMB haircut are a threat to the fabric of the game.

My favourite Kane moment was the one where all the college kids posted photos and tweets of him running around Madison WI one weekend completely out of control.

3:2...fair enough. $3 if no goal, $2 if goal.

Reverse that

Yes. I am glad to see forward strides from all sports regarding these matters.

However, I don't agree with the idea of giving the team temporary cap relief. Its a risk every team takes on when signing a player. Follow the rules already outlined in the CBA and don't hug the cap so tightly. Simple as that.
- JFlyers00

Every team takes the risk that the player may commit a crime? Should a team leave some cap space when building their team in case a player might commit a crime? And they'll need cap space to replace that player? Doesn't make much sense.

Everyday, I thank Allah, Buddah, Yahweh, etc. that there were no camera phones during my undergraduate college years.

One's a lovable scamp, the other's a cancer who doesn't respect the establishment

Isn't it obvious?

There'd be a lot of pictures of me in basements with a red cup.

I was with you until your last comment. Young guys out on the prowl living the single life, and due to their combination of athleticism, fame, and money, getting all they can get so to speak, is far different then impregnating a bunch of woman all over the place. And I don't even know if Kemp is living up to his responsibilities with that.

The Kane stuff was incredibly overblown. Young immature men do stupid crap, clowning around. Hell, older immature men continue to do stupid crap.
