But he is those things... you know he got a job with kids after because the blackhawks endorsed him right?
- Aaron_85

That part isn't true. He took a previous job review and presented it as a letter of recommendation.

It wouldn’t be the whole province just all the cancel culture people. It’s time people move on from what happened with JOEL. Almost all the people that are against him no little of the facts.

It's an undeniable fact that he knew about the sexual assault and didn't want it to be a distraction to his team. That's a pretty valid reason to be against him.

"The totality of the credible evidence—the proof—does not sufficiently substantiate the complainant’s allegation that she was raped by Patrick Kane and this so-called 'case' is rife with reasonable doubt," Erie County District Attorney Frank A. Sedita III said in a statement. "Accordingly, the Office of the Erie County District Attorney will not present this matter to an Erie County Grand Jury."


DNA testing later called into question the veracity of the woman's claims. In addition, an allegation of tampering led to her initial attorney dropping her as a client.
"I don’t have confidence in the version [of events] that was provided to me," Thomas Eoannou said, per CBS Chicago. The attorney noted, however, the "development shouldn’t automatically discredit the central allegation that Kane sexually assaulted his former client."

He wasn't in a position of authority. It's also pretty much impossible to prove what the players did and didn't know.

“Obviously very serious allegations, and everyone knows that,” Kane said at the annual NHL/NHLPA preseason player media tour. “But I will say that I didn’t know anything about it at the time and did participate with the investigation.”

I know what was said how he deferred to someone else "taking care of it" but I find it hard to believe a coach wouldn't follow up if he cared about his players.

You can find it hard to believe if you want, but he's admitted to and apologized for not wanting to expose Aldrich right before the finals. The leadership of the Blackhawks had a meeting about it. It's not speculation.

Depending on where you're finding the exact definition, there are mentions of the act being carried out by physical force, coercion, abuse of authority....

Hmm, anything similar in that definition to the actions that took place?

Agree. I think we can all agree the guy is a dirtbag and should be taken out behind the barn. All I said was he didn’t break any laws. At least he was never charged…..and again that doesn’t mean the law is right, just sayin! My whole Point is that none of us know what Q’s part or non part is in this, I don’t think he’s ever spoken about it. To me the NHL should have just said he’s banned for life if that’s the case…..done and over. Instead it’s brought up every time there is an opening somewhere…..which is constantly.

Except he did break laws. You can't coerce someone into sex. And we do know Quenneville's part in it, and he's spoken about it.

You know I'm agreeing with you right? No speculation here.

Bro....there was a whole thing and everyone had quotes coming from it. There's no "I don't think he ever spoke". he absolutely did when it was investigated. Chicago PR dept and all the executives circled the wagons and ensured the story was good enough for a slap on the wrist and nothing else. Absolute poop show of some human decency towards another man.

Holy hell the Oilers and Canucks blog comments are pretty entertaining.

Vancouver fans preemptively whining about double standards because Soucy has a hearing for the cross check to Mc David’s face.

Some of the super cool hockey talkers from Vancouver who live to come talk hockey in the Leafs blog saying McDavid started it and got what he deserved.

Jesus.

On the plus side the rest of that series should be entertaining to watch!

He did win a Calder for Toronto. The closest thing they’ve won’t to Stanley in 5 decades…

Hire him already.

isnt that the name of our PP?

Vogelbach got all of that one

1. Matthews plays 2 healthy games in this year's playoffs both with Domi and Bert, plays great in both and gets 3 pts in 2 games

2. Nylander plays 3 games with JT in this year's playoffs and gets 3 goals.

3. Marner plays the entire 7 games with one of those 2 lines and totally sucks balls.

Then some Twatwaffle who continuously claims Marner is the Leafs best player says he was terrible in the playoffs because he did not play with Matthews. Doesn't that suggest he needs Matthews to be better?

One might argue Matthews was a lot better because he got away from Marner. Except for on the PP which was atrocious.

Final musing..... Over the last 5 years I have read hundreds, maybe even thousands of posts from one particular attention seeking whore wanting to trade Nylander, cannot win with the core. Now that his beloved female dog Mitch is the one potentially on the outs he starts preaching how "they were only a goal away"",'need to try the core with a new coach"
WAFJ.

Poorly done Kirk

How do they convince Ottawa to do a Marner for Brady trade? That guy would be perfect. Actually tough unlike his piece of poop brother

Edit: I guess they would have to convince Marner too 🤦‍♂️

I heard there are less car jackings in Ottawa

Freddie just whiffed on one on a 2 on 1. Shorthanded goal. He was waay back in the net looking tentative. Never seen that before....
