hockey players are terrible people and never deserve the benefit of the doubt. sorry if this offends you.


I'm pretty sure the sport of hockey doesn't make people sex offenders... They are simply just bad people who happen to play hockey...

Didn't say that. Did clarify more in a later post but these allegations are becoming an issue with the entire culture around the sport instead of just isolated cases.

Definitely should've worded my first post a lot better instead of trying to agitate a certain person but what's done is done.

I find it a little concerning that your original comment - which was clearly a hyperbolic response to an absolutely moronic notion - drew far more of a reaction than what you were replying to...

Its becoming more and more apparent that this type of behavior is less and less out of the ordinary. From the youth to professional levels in all aspects of the game. It's not just Cole, its a kids on the national teams as well. You don't have two sexual assault funds if this isn't some abnormal thing.

I don't think it needs to be said but I clearly don't actually believe every hockey player is a terrible person because of their profession, but the culture they've been raised in clearly toxic and when these accusations come out, them and their teammates deserve absolutely no benefit of the doubt in the court of public opinion in regards to their innocence. Real change and progress isn't going to happen unless the players start making it aware of the gross actions of their teammates. Time to start putting pressure on the people where it matters.

If this continues as it is and we keep having former hockey players come on this forum and act like all is well, maybe it's time for me to put more time into my other hobbies.


I understand the point you are trying to make about hockey’s culture being messed up, and I agree with it, but just remember that no one is going to take you seriously if you say stupid things like “hockey players are terrible people”.

Somebody should, not much of a goal scorer but a great setup man.

I realize the Leafs have their own cap issues so, glass houses and all, but gutting their roster for Tkachuk will never make any sense to me.

Oh ok. Good to know. Here I was wondering why 15 minutes into the waiver period and nothing has been announced.

I doubt Slaf gets more than 9 games, it’s him or Pezzetta that gets sent down whenever Armia is back from injury, I still have no idea who we scratch at forward, I’d imagine Xhekaj gets send down once Eddie’s back too
