Thank you Carol

Well done Carol.

Lotta people on here to eat crow, Virtanen not guilty. Might want to wait for evidence and trial before you assume you know. Wonder if amyone signs him?

Thanks Carol, I think Bure only played 13 games the year he switched to 96, torn ACL/MCL from a hit by Steve Smith if I recall correctly. Hopefully Kuzmenko has better luck with that number. Speaking of unlucky numbers, Höglander should get rid of 21 ASAP if he wants to make the team…

He's a disappointing Benning draft pick. He'll always be guilty to the usual crowd on here...

There’s a difference between innocent and not guilty… I have no idea which he is, not do I really care.

Not guilty of sexual assault... let's make that clear.

Just because he was found not guilty, doesn't mean he didn't do it, it's just the jury found him more credible than the complainant. It was always a he said, she said case, and generally when there's no collaboration by a witness, it's hard to convict someone for SA even if they really did what they were alleged to do. Don't equate a not guilty verdict with innocence or vindication, he also had the best lawyers money could buy and the victim got tripped up on details that made her look less credible than Virtanen.

Before his trial = Guilty

Found Not Guilty = Doesnt mean he's not guilty



Jury, I rest my case...

Thanks Carol for the blog.

I'm with DK.
Not guilty does not mean innocent, it means lawyers created reasonable doubt in the minds of the jurors.

I think the fact that the Canucks almost immediately distanced themselves from JV is a strong indicator that this dude is a dirt bag and they knew it.

So what's up with the latest rumours?

Miller to NJ for Severson, Bahl and Mukhamadullin?
Trade Myers for a 3rd to the Ducks?
Sign Klinberg ?

Hughes - Severson
OEL - Klinberg
Rathbone - Schenn
Dermont-Bahl

It wasn't trial by Jury and the trial was over very very quickly. Clearly there was a complete lack of evidence from the accuser.

He sure looked incapable of forcing himself on her when he was feebly flopped down on her lap puking while she stroked his hair... if it was allegedly before that, it hardly looks like she felt sexually assaulted.

I'll assume he's not guilty. I'm not letting my dislike for this person mark him a sexual offender.

Trading Miller for the kid who was selected with the draft pick given up to acquire Miller would be so Canuck.

Is this a haiku
about drugs or about trades?
your question is flawed.

weird, the article i read talked about jury deliberating...
anyways, i'm just saying a millionaire athlete getting away with sexual assault is not exactly surprising or unexpected, unfortunately.
