Thread: Team Canada Scandal
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>BeterChiarelli</b></div><div>What this example fails to address is that there is a population of unknown size within the player base of Hockey Canada that has either committed an assault, knows something about an assault, or has helped cover up an assault. The organization of Hockey Canada itself is not the only party likely guilty in this case. If more and more people came forward with accusations towards the players of other junior teams, would you feel the same towards the players as a single entity?

An even larger part of that player base is part of the culture issue that also needs to be addressed in some manner, probably after verdicts have been reached.

I'm not hell bent on ruining international hockey for Canada but if the foundations of the driving organization behind those players and those tournaments is so morally corrupt then things secondary in importance to justice need to step back and wait their turn. A game does not take precedence over human wellbeing.</div></div>

Well if you want a change you can start by holding the government accountable because what in the heck have they done? Punishing hockey players who had nothing to do with this is beyond stupid. The useless “leaders” in Ottawa should be taking charge.

Thread: If Hextall is done
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Hullsy09</b></div><div>Yeah Crosby is 35 and point is 26, but Crosby is still miles better than point. Did you watch the first round? Crosby was the most dominant player on the ice every time he stepped on.

Letang was like 7th in Norris voting last year.

Malkin put up a 40+ goal, 80+ point pace coming off of a major surgery with scrubs for linemates.

Petry put up 21 points in 30 games once MSL took over.

These guys can still play. The rest of the core is still young enough where age is no concern in the short term: guentzel, Jarry, rust, rakell.

So I ask you, instead of re-signing Malkin and Letang, and trading for Petry. Should we have acquired younger and worse players? Sure these guys may be awful in 3 years but they were the best options in the short term - and that is this teams goal. Short term success.</div></div>

How does Mike Sullivan coach his team? How do the Pens play the game? This isn’t the 2008 Red Wings under Babcock who played a perfect game for older players. Your time is built entirely off of skating. Unless there’s going to be a major change to how the team approaches the season they’ll be gased
