Life is funny 20 years ago it was the hell would wanna play or coach in Florida? Now it's who the hell wouldn't? Great retirement gig for Maurice...

ah crap I recognize a (former) jet

Not much nhl guys there. Is MAF the only one still? I'm not surprised about this, I don't want to say I've seen stuff go on in dressing rooms cuz I haven't but there were certainly things going on that made me and some buddies go hmm. Not nearly as high profile, MJHL but.. stuff happens for sure. 

Horny teenagers plus alcohol plus drunken girls plus high profile = 

 

We all likely were at parties in our teens or at bars or places alcohol was involved,  and saw or heard of some pretty interesting stuff. Maybe we didn't know the people personally but we've all seen guys take advantage of drunk girls.. it happens. Just another case really. I can honestly say I've never done that tho, so yay me. I'll be honest tho last time I got drunk was probably 15 years ago. Literally don't touch it no more.  Wine? Maybe but I don't drink beer or liquor anymore. Because I would say and do dumb things.. but yeah, we all grow up

So we traded away Laine who might of signed a 4 year deal for a player who will never sign a 4 year deal? All because Maurice would never put him with our No1 center on a consistent basis. Now no Maurice ,no Laine and no Pld?

In a nutshell, indeed  but Laine playing with Scheif prob = 9.5 10 million per. Just saying

Really its 2 years after he reaches UFA.

2 longer than PLD ....IF his beloved Canadiens don't offer something decent.Why should they? If they wait get him for free.. at least with Tkachuk in Calgary they have multiple teams. PlD the flake has really screwed us. See he signed a one year deal,man we are lucky to retain this guy...ugh. Feel sorry for Bones if he has to deal with this flake.

Wonder how much the sex assault scandal  fallout will hang over the tournament?

I think this is going to be the worst ratings for a World Jr's in TSN history. Dog days of summer, actual summer sports on TV, plus the stink of the scandal.... Having a hard time finding a reason to care much.

Any prospects? Crickets.

Good for him. I am SHOCKED he's only the second NHLer to publically state this. NFLers have been doing it for years, it seems? 

 

Or, maybe, it's just Rick's phrasing, which has me thinking it's only the second? Hmmm.

Okay, but unless Huber already got CTE we wont know results for a very long time and we already know quite a bit. Head gets hit repeatedly you're at risk of bad news.

Finally. That's a start. 

I'm curious who chooses the new leadership for the organization and how. They need to make sure there is absolutely NOTHING left of the last crew. The crew that thought the media was unfairly making things look worse than they are. I'd love to see someone like Sheldon Kennedy involved, and LOTS of women. Get rid of every ounce of stink from Old Boys Culb.

Kennedy is a great pick for sure  but outside of him I'd like to see ppl who are most qualified to do the job get the job. Don't think u should go in to it thinking we need Lots of women cuz then you are discriminating against men just cuz they are men. The best qualified people should get the job
