i disagree. the (frank) uses a bookie these days. degenerate gamblers. that's who. and also the obvious optics of throwing games cause he is in large to a bookie comes into play.

well obviously players should never be allowed to bet on a game or a league they're actually involved in, but if Pinto is throwing big bucks on NFL games via a bookie, he isn't really hurting anyone besides potentially his own wallet...

Apparently someone he knew used his account to make bets, with his knowledge.

"League sources say Pinto's online gambling account in the United States was flagged by a company that is a partner of the league because of unusual activity and it contacted the NHL's head office recently."

unless I'm mistaken, Kick has been "addicted" to his one-dollar bets for quite some time now, he seems fine.

still don't see why this should be considered as unacceptable behavior, sure isn't worth a 41-game suspension imho.

most likely, and unless someone decides to spill the beans we probably won't ever get the full story since everyone involved signed a non-disclosure agreement... sounds like a very Buttman-ish thing to do.

so I watched the first few minutes of l'ADISQ.
on stage: Ginette, Charlebois, Rivard, Piché, Pagliaro, Patrick Norman and Martine St-Clair...
I did check the calendar to be sure we were in 2023 and not 1983.
then switched to hockey.
