So like, knocking out you wife and dragging her out of an elevator or just a little grab @$$?

I don't believe Ray Rice should have been suspended by the NFL. Thrown in jail, yes. But that had zero to do with football and everything to do with being a wife-beating scumbag.

but the coach said he is a good man

They have 7 roster defensemen and at least 3 players in the AHL who can play at the NHL level next season if not 5.

Pretty sure we were talking about goalies at this point.

They have 7 roster goalies, they just haven't disclosed who all of them are yet.

Really? That surprises me.

I've already been reprimanded...

How so?

Wow. Twitter reports that Aaron Ekblad sustained a concussion at WJHC camp and has been sent home, with the Panthers already notified.

I'm on the tablet, which makes it difficult for me to block-save the actual tweet

My concern is the quality of those goalies. We'll see.

Well I'm not one for letting you get back up...

there is a good chance that Philly may have 4 good teams by 2018....4 championships would be exciting and I am just sharing all this positive energy I am feeling. this is barring plagues, wars, fires, floods....

That sucks for them.

That sucks for them.

Yeah -- the Flyers are having a relatively poopty offseason as of now, but that sucks. Chris Stevenson reports a full recovery is expected, but still, a concussion over the summer has to suck

The Flyers, the Union...Temple basketball and...who?

How so?

I mean, you're just a fan so there doesn't seem to be any impact on you but if I were part of a league management team I would have to do something to control the damage actions like that would have on my product. Even if it would amount to a slap on the wrist.

Obviously most people in charge feel the way you do what with all the domestic assault that goes unpunished.

The Soul... they win it every couple yrs.

First off, as I said, he should be in jail, so I don't see how you are painting me as someone who condones domestic violence. Step the (frank) back.

Secondly, we're talking about a game where grown men try to physcially destroy each other 100+ times a week. I'm not sure their "image" is being tainted by physical violence.

Thirdly, IF the league wishes to impose its own sanctions for off-field infractions (which the CBA allows), then the league is a joke for only giving him 2 games relative to other suspensions.

I meant unpunished in the sports leagues not in general. That wasn't a shot at you. I, in no way, came away from that post thinking you condone domestic abuse. It was poorly phrased.

I disagree with the second. Although the NFL is a juggernaut so even murder is a minor tweak.

And yeah, his suspension length was a complete joke.

Let's say you get arrested for drug possession, should your employer have a right to fire you?

Yeah, I'd rather watch the CFL but they're on the channel just up the grid.

I get that they want their product to be as untainted as possible, but the suspensions they levy don't seem to do much (kind of like NHL suspensions for on-ice behavior) because I believe over 20% of the Ravens' roster was arrested or commited a crime of some sort this offseason. You've got a bunch of roided up thugs with millions of dollars...there's no way to prevent hood activities.

Yeah, that was very closed-minded of me.
