Must've had a fantastic trainer during the summer or something.
Similar to someone coming back 20 pounds lighter, yet stronger and faster.

He seems faster than he has ever been. Doin’ something right.

Nothing as heartfelt as saying sorry because a judge made you do it....

Sorry, going to disagree here.

It’s the proper way to give an apology.

At that point, he shouldn’t be having personal contact with the victim and the victim’s family, and I am wildly guessing that the court would have instructed him not to directly contact them.

He literally wrote an apology as part of his sentencing.

The instagram apology was in addition to that.

Apparently he hasnt really shown any remorse.

Malgin's looking pretty pretty good.

It should have happened long before.

Based upon what evidence?

How about from the victim’s family’s own statements?

It happened as part of his sentencing.

The mother claims she was never given a copy of the apology, but that’s the fault of the court, not the kid.

Nylander keeping Snakes honest

How about from the victim’s family’s own statements?
- Roadrunner75

How would they know?

They have had no contact with him.

Willie with yet another elite play

It's like they levelled up, wow, it's just night and day... when these guys feel like playing, look out

Buston strikes for 2!!!!

Nice set up Willy

Once again, if somebody had fought Bergeron, the Bruins would fold.

Allowed 2nd chances, but maybe not in the nhl.

My only issue with this thinking is who decides what opportunities he is allowed to pursue.

He went before a judge, he was sentenced and served his punishment..You can agree/disagree with the severity. That is a different argument.

The NHL could put a stop to all of this by putting something into their rules or charter(or whatever they call it) forbidding anyone with a criminal record(or a specific set of crimes) from playing..

Nice play by willie.
AM finally scored 2 in a game.

Yes, the nhl should decide.

Marner getting an assist on that play is just hilarious

He was 14 franking years old.

You can’t discriminate against someone based on their juvy record.

Bettman’s statement today was absurd.

Pretty sure those types of clauses are in contracts and league has such. See Voynov and the donestic abuse stuff

Tavares es en fuego.

Based upon what evidence?
- Atomic Wedgie

According to those in the know.
It was brutal bullying, assault and abuse.
F the kid

Gio needs to fatten Hall's lips a bit more.
