This will be completely unpopular but….People are shitting on these guys because when they were kids they had a girl that wanted to party. 95% of 17-18 year olds would have done the same thing under the same circumstance. The only crime here was the fact that they lost years of salary. This has been a shit show clown circus right from the beginning.
It has nothing to do with “Hockey Culture” Almost any group of young single guys out for a night on the town meet a girl that is looking for some fun with all of them. Happens every weekend in any large city and university or college town in North America.
When this story came out before the trail there was an article that came out that claimed this whole thing got kicked off originally because the girls mom found out what happened. The way it was originally handled by the police and hockey Canada was laughable but the fact that prosecutors decided to pick the case up and re trail it was 100% political and as was seen in the trail the evidence was so week that this should never have even gone to trail.
100% correct. The rush to the moral high ground is virtue signaling which isn’t new or surprising among the usual suspects around here.
She was older than they were, she knew they were famous hockey players, she was down the entire time until she realized she had to come up with a giant lie to cover up the fact she was cheating on her boyfriend. She tried to make herself the anonymous victim, probably explored a way to exploit it for money too by forcing Hockey Canada to get dragged into this mess by paying her a settlement. Luckily, the legal system actually worked and the woke idiot mob didn’t get what they wanted.
Not. Guilty.
These guys are not the same people today they were when this all happened. And they’ll be the absolute last ones to ever try to do anything like this again because their careers and reputations have already been tarnished despite not being guilty.
The NHL literally has players that have killed people (manslaughter) before. Many might not know this but Casey Cizikas killed another kid during a rugby game. Nobody cares.
Despite what some idiots will want to believe, they’re not garbage people (currently) and they’re not garbage hockey players. They definitely have talent, they are in their prime years and they were found not guilty. Whatever circus the media will try to create to get these mouth breathing click bait idiots will go away after a few days. And then it’ll just be about hockey again.
If the Leafs signed these guys, the same morons that pretend they’d be appalled would cheer like 8 year old kids if they scored a playoff goal.
Maybe it’ll play out that way. I’m not arguing one way or the other. I just don’t think it’s as cut and dry as to say not guilty means they’re back. Teams will make their own decisions
There’s going to be a lot of teams that will stupidly blacklist these guys even after the NHL is done railroading them. I think the Leafs should use this opportunity to their advantage rather than be another sheep in the flock once they’re eligible.
They need a bottom-six center who can win FOs. That’s McLeod. Instant upgrade over Kampf. They need a bottom-six winger who can kill penalties, has a good frame and skates fast, younger, cheaper replacement for Jarnkrok. That’s Formenton. They need a big body with a big slapshot for the 3rd pairing and that can be Foote.
All 3 could probably be signed for 1 AAV or less and all 3 are going to have a chip on their shoulder with something to prove, knowing they can’t be irresponsible people without severe backlash.
Being found guilty means they’re not going to jail. The terms of the morals clause doesn’t say anything about criminal convictions – “highest standard of honesty, morality“, etc. If teams don’t think they’re worth the headache, they might impose. Obviously, the PA would intervene on behalf of the players. Yeah unions, amitite?
They pose no risk or headache as they have acted perfectly fine since the accusations were levied. Teams would be stupid to avoid quality hockey players for what would amount to a few days of whining from a bunch of cult minded losers on BlueSky.
The Leafs would be a better team with McLeod, Formenton and Foote and save a lot of cap space too. They’re not guilty and should be allowed to move forward with their lives after years of wrongful persecution and lost opportunity.
Even if deemed guilty in the court of public opinion, it gives them an opportunity to become ambassadors to teach people how not to make the same mistakes.
Nope, it’s a simple business decision. Players sign contracts committing “to conduct themselves on and off the rink to the highest standard of honesty, morality, fair play and sportsmanship and to refrain from conduct detrimental to the best interests of the league, their team and hockey in general.” If teams decide that their behaviour (which was never questioned) hurts their brand, they’re gone.
Nope, it’s very simple. They’re not guilty. And they’ve done nothing while under contract that they are guilty for. They’ve been prosecuted unjustly by both the government and the idiots among the cult mob of social justice warriors. They were 18 year olds who acted immaturely. They’ll be the last ones to ever do anything like that ever again. They can be given a second chance because the business is playing hockey and they’re still good at it.
its not surprising you are like, Yes put all these players on my team, being King Rapist and Epstein Buddy supporter..its your brand
Having read some of the details and texts I dont want people like that on the team I cheer for, fuck them all..but its not surprising it continues to happen.
Epstein and King Rapist? Oh you must be talking about Bill Clinton, Mark Carney and Joe Biden (don’t Google Ashley Biden’s diary, you might learn something the libtard hive mind doesn’t want you to learn).
Stick to hockey though.
Not guilty means not guilty. Not surprising the witch hunt cult continues to be a cult.
least surprising thing iv read today
Least surprising thing is actually a bunch of woke social justice idiots who believe these guys are guilty until proven innocent and then follow that up with guilty even when proven not guilty.
People deserve second chances especially when they’re found not guilty. That’s the purpose of the justice system, even one that absolutely loves to let professional criminals back out on the streets to perpetually reoffend. These guys will never do anything even remotely like this ever again and don’t deserve to lose their ability to continue to play hockey.
RIP Hulk Hogan.
Rematch vs. The Ultimate Warrior in the afterlife, brother.
Sooooo, Carter Hart to the Oilers any second now, right?
Leafs should sign McLeod, Formenton and Foote to minimum contracts. All 25-27 and fill needs on the 4th line and 3rd pairing.
McLeod was great at FOs and Formenton is a speedy PKer with depth scoring. Foote is a big body RHD.
WRONG!
Oh so you want to imply I’m retarded by highlighting retarded and saying “that’s you”, which is the intention of the using the word retarded but you don’t want anybody typing the word retarded.
This thought process you have is actually retarded.
Ozzy Osborne now playing in the great gig in the sky.
RIP my good man.
Lasted way longer than expected. Went out like a Rockstar, played his last show not long ago.
yup. just like you.
Uh oh, did you just break your own naughty word rule?
Can you use a different word other then the bolded one.
Nope.
I had a 3 team trade:
To Vancouver: Rielly
To New Jersey: Hughes
To Toronto: Hamiltonother pieces would be involved obviously.
Vancouver and New Jersey would have to be pretty retarded to do that. Rielly can be traded but it won’t be for that kind of top end value.
The reality is, there is nothing Tre could have done to keep Marner, and there is nothing he can realistically do to move Rielly. He’ll be a magician in my mind if he can somehow move 44 without getting absolutely fleeced.
Wrong, on both fronts. He could have paid Marner what he was worth and he could have afforded it by pushing Rielly and Tavares out the door to free up 12 million AAV.
It’s just a matter of the Leafs having a failed GM at the helm who is very bad at identifying who they need to keep to win a Cup and who they don’t.
The reality is, this team won’t win shit and is heading for the same blow up that happened to Calgary the last time Treliving was GM.
And yet, you think some team is going to take on that anchor contract. Absolute fucking lunacy. You are the type of fan that makes Leaf fans look bad.
Oh, and just to remind you, Marner is gone, will always be gone, and he personally hates you.
The part you fail to realize is that just because he doesn’t fit with the Leafs anymore doesn’t mean another team can’t or won’t take him. Karlsson had an anchor of a contract. He still got traded.
Rielly has been here too long. The change of scenery will do him well and he still has value to a team trying to make the playoffs like Seattle or Vancouver who will probably lose Hughes sooner rather than later.
The Leafs fans that make everyone look bad are the retards who celebrate losing elite players but are still okay will being stuck with inadequate players like Rielly.
Give him the Marner treatment, if he can’t get his game together. Ever since he got married, he hasn’t been as good.
The Marner treatment is running an elite player out of town because of idiocy.
Rielly has been here the longest and has never been good enough, like Makar for example, to lead the team from the backend.
It has nothing to do with his marriage. Or cocaine. Rielly is what he has always been. Bad at defending. He tries to skate and pass his way out of trouble and makes too many mistakes. When he was capable of scoring 20 goals and 70+ points, he was worth it. Now, he just makes too much money for 41 points and being a defensive nightmare.
