kelownabomberfan Posted May 7, 2021 Report Share Posted May 7, 2021 The New York Rangers are extremely disappointed that Capitals forward Tom Wilson was not suspended for his horrifying act of violence last night at Madison Square Garden. Wilson is a repeat offender with a long history of these types of acts and we find it shocking that the NHL and their Department of Player Safety failed to take the appropriate action and suspend him indefinitely. Wilson’s dangerous and reckless actions caused an injury to Artemi Panarin that will prevent him from playing again this season. We view this as a dereliction of duty by the NHL head of Player Safety, George Parros, and believe he is unfit to continue in his current role.

JCon Posted May 9, 2021 Author Report Share Posted May 9, 2021 Which ever GM hires that man is begging to be fired. Torts has not been relevant in 10 years. May he never coach again. 3 hours ago, FrostyWinnipeg said: Torts might wake the team up here. Wow. Trade Morrissey and hire Torts. May as well be the Coyotes. rebusrankin, blue_gold_84 and Noeller 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Noeller Posted May 9, 2021 Report Share Posted May 9, 2021 I can't imagine a bigger nightmare than having that guy as HC. It's a 3 ring circus everywhere he goes and not a lot of winning to show for it. rebusrankin and Brandon 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also seems to me that if this video coach makes unwanted sexual advancement to a grown man who is a professional hockey player he could punch the guy's lights out in self defense, no problem. I know I would. This is just strange. Wideleft 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know I would. This is just strange. "The lawsuit alleges that in May 2010, the coach “turned on porn and began to masturbate in front of” the Blackhawks player without the player’s consent." - This does not sound like he was watching porn with the video coach, more like he was subjected to porn by the video coach. "The lawsuit also described “inappropriate text messages” from the coach to the player and threats to “physically, financially and emotionally” harm the player if he “did not engage in sexual activity” with the coach." - This, to me, is a bit of a smoking gun... the player has evidence the coach is pursuing an unwanted sexual relationship... the player (maybe an 18 or 19 year old kid?) must have genuinely believed this guy could hurt their career if they came forward or didn't comply. There are any number of reasons victims don't come forward (be it shame and embarrassment, guilt, fear of reprisal, so on...) My best advice is if a guy ever starts to CK his Louie infront of you, ask him to stop or get up and leave before punching his lights out - less likelihood of facing charges or being touched by an unwanted willy that way Noeller 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MOBomberFan Posted May 13, 2021 Report Share Posted May 13, 2021 I'll add it's disgusting that these guys are able to keep up their sick games for years... horrible that this trash gets recycled... I find it hard to believe that these guys don't generate some sort of reputation... that there aren't warning signs or red flags or whispers that follow these pricks from job to job... too many people must be turning a blind eye.... for every Sandusky there must be a Paterno or two.
