Ok I agree with Azure on this topic, despite it also being the opinion of someone here I have zero respect for and has zero ability to present his opinion in any way other than the most offense way riddled full of insults etc.
The court case has happened, the judge ruled and it’s done. If the NHL decides to try and prevent these players from playing by claiming they breached a morality clause I think they face an issue with the players perhaps coming at the league (if it was a league decision, the teams if it was an individual team decision) for lost wages for the time they were suspended as a start. They will layer in some defamation element and perhaps even some loss of future earning potential all of which would equate to big dollars.
I think the league will simply (quietly and not publicly) tell the players/teams in the league that these guys can be signed / play and it’s up to teams to decide if they want to do so – pushing all of the potential risk of poor public reaction etc. onto teams and avoiding any litigation.
I agree with what you said Dozzer but there is that one sticky point that I’ve read from a few people in difference places and that you have to factor in – who the players were in terms of how big a superstar they are or were. The NHL has proven over and over again big time stars get different treatment and let’s not pretend the media don’t do the same.
If these 5 players had names like Bedard, Matthews etc. in them do the players get suspended right away? Is the outcry to ban them from the league the same?
I personally don’t think so.
If you strip emotion, bias and personal morality out of the equation and simply ask if the players should technically, legally be allowed to resume their careers I think the fairly obvious answer is yes.
The league can say the players broke the morality clause and as I said I think they have to fight that in court but who knows until / unless it happens.
I question if the league/players had the legal right to even suspend but without seeing what the contracts say or the CBA (and I don’t care enough to go research it or even see if it’s public) and the fact the players just took the suspension maybe they have language in there that allows it. IF the suspension is unpaid I would be surprised the NHLPA agreed to it.
What has not been mentioned but I think may pop up soon is the fact that the finding of not guilty does not prevent any civil action that the alleged victim may decide to peruse. Now if she took some settlement from Hockey Canada she may not be able to sue the players or HC but again maybe that settlement only protected HC and she could try to sue individual players – I guess we will see.
The case and charges were criminal, not civil proceedings and they differ greatly in many ways including the need to prove “beyond a reasonably doubt” that something did or did not occur.
aaaanywho
Jays TDL.. I am guessing they add Pitching. A good RP and maybe a Starter.
They still have Varsho Santandar and Giminez on IR to come back.
Guys coming back is almost like adds via trade! lol
They really have strung together an impressive stretch here and it’s clear they believe in themselves and each other which is fantastic.
Sooooo, Carter Hart to the Oilers any second now, right?
It would not shock me to see him land with the Oilers.
I have friends who I have never even thought were fans let alone gone to a game with sending me messages like “we need to get to a Jays game!”. Rob
No you dont and no they arent lol. – AA pretending to be someone else like the waste of skin he is
This trolling attempt is as pathetic as the Yankee’s defense.
Hello. What model phone are you using?
I am using an Iphone 16 Pro Max and running IOS 18.5
So a new phone with the latest IOS & still having the same issue.
My ban was also lifted early. lol
Why isn’t the reply function here working? I thought it was fixed and working?
Only good move Leafs have made all year. Hope the ink is dry and the trade call went through; Leafs still got their 2028 1st round pick and it’s burning a hole in their pocket.[/quote]
deo of what happened? Taking a still photo out of video can certainly change the context.
I seem to recall this when it occurred, the still looks bad, but the video isnt as bad cause I think he gets involved either earlier or later.
Or I could be wrong and thinking of something else.Full video.
You can see Marner tie up a guy for a brief moment when it’s pushing and shoving but the minute it gets nasty and punches start getting tossed and Tampa goes full dog pile on the Leafs. At this point Marner shits his pants, and decides to let his guy go and then his next move is to complain to the linesman.
He is the furthest thing from Doug Gilmour you will see in those moments over the past 9 years – what you saw here is who he is.
A “snappy comeback” is lost on you. It’s unnecessary. You are what you are: a sheep.[/quote]
People who call out your bullshit aren’t sheep, they are just tired of you but rage on little man, rage on.You should consider seeking professional help, it’s painfully clear you would greatly benefit from it.
