And so it begins...

He is only suffering because he had more to lose than most people do.  Honestly, when I started teaching at 25, I would have fully expected to lose my job, had I been exposed saying stuff like that. 

He is an adult, with adult privileges and the responsibilities that come with those. It is to be hoped that he can learn from these stupid mistakes and become a better person.

Yep your right.. but even 25 is still young and none of us at 25 is fully mature. We all make mistakes and how far do we go with people when they do? Lose their career? Jail time?  Hell he is suffering more than some who have killed people. Over people being insulted by words. 

Suffering more than someone who killed people?  Come on.

Who says he’s suffering at all?  He seems like a ****** and may not even feel like he was in the wrong.

I get the angle that he’s being harshly scrutinized for being an idiot in a private conversation, but comparing his punishment to a killer, is ridiculous.

Despite him not being a star player, he was earning at least the league minimum- what $660K per annum? If he was wise with his money, he ought to have a golden parachute and he screwed himself out of a job which was really playing a game which he loved, so no tears from me.

Nice to talk hockey 

you know what? if they're going to cancel the remainder AHL season then they might as well cancel the rest of the NHL season

Can't say I'm surprised.

Multiple arenas. Makes sense.

Surprised they would do that. Ovi so close to 50 again.

so based on that "expanded" playoffs, would Winnipeg make the cut?

Frosty reminded me off board that the Jets had the top wildcard spot in our conference. 

 

Also would it depend on the host cities or something or other

True but I believe the jets were out of the playoffs if they used the final standings and pro rated it so everyone was equal.  I think that’s one of the reasons they’re talking about an expanded playoffs if they don’t play the remaining games.  Include all the teams that were close.

so if they did resume they'd play without the fans in the stands

 

but would 50/50 still be accessible?

I would assume so as you can buy them online.

Wonder what kind of shape the players are in to hop right back into it.

I trust FotWJ this >< much.

I've seen that in a few places. Likely close to accurate. The players don't want to do the Canadian mandatory 14 Day isolation, so the hubs will likely be all American unfortunately for Edm/Van/Tor....

Playing it Trump safe then

 

Might be easier than crossing borders for subsequent playoff series too. Although apparently it’s not impossible.  Brock Lesnar had no problem travelling from SK to the US for appearances for example.  

 

As long as the facilities and all involved can be kept as safe as possible I don't care where they play
