So....

I have to return my father's car tonight.

I'm thinking of taking the bus back to my house. 1 bus, about 30 minutes.

I haven't been on the TTC since March 2020.

I'm double-vaxxed.

Thoughts?.

Some people don't seem to understand.
I get all of this.
Being proven guilty in the media for throwing games without proof should not be tolerated.
He is not guilty yet.

No one is saying he's guilty yet.

Here's my surprise: The moment that the NHL found out that Evander Kane declared bankruptcy because he has a serious gambling addiction, they should have hired their own internal investigator to go look into it. Ensure that you're ahead of it. It's not like it's uncommon for a person with a serious and desperate gambling addiction to do terrible and stupid things. In other words - the NHL should have been ahead of these allegations already. The fact that they weren't is a surprise to me.

Maybe they were and the fact that they haven't thrown the book at Kane is proof that they have no evidence of it, but now they'll look deeper or elsewhere - I don't know. What I do know is that he is not guilty of betting on the NHL at the moment.

It doesn't change the fact that he's a ginormous asshat. He is completely guilty of that.

I've been saying that they probably already investigated.
But name calling is much more fun.

I'd still target Murray though. He's been looking pretty senile lately.

I never said he was or is guilty.

Am I assuming he's guilty though in non-hockey related allegations? (frank) yeah.

We're all guilty of "judging" people constantly and we base a lot of our opinions on conjecture, patterns, and our own personal voodoo.

I'm not some #metoo fanatic but I'd be willing to bet he's a piece of poop who let his gambling addiction consume his life. I've had personal experience dealing with gambling addicts and very rarely have they not been sociopathic jerks (and by very rarely I mean zero).

Maybe Evander Kane is a unicorn and all of these accusations by his soon-to-be-ex-wife are bs. Maybe. I doubt it, but sure, I can't say for certain whether he's 100% guilty. 🤷

Per gambling on his own team, I have no idea. But I wouldn't be surprised if he pulled a Pete Rose, "I only bet on our team winning, I swear!" card if he did (it'll be hard to prove he threw games).

At the end of the day, the last thing the Leafs would need to add to this club is a player who is clearly troubled and whose personal and financial life is a (frank)ing disaster. To those who say we should sign him, don't hold your breath. Dubas wouldn't touch this guy with 67' pole.

I wouldn't bet against them finishing 4th in the division.

Imagine if MTL were to somehow finish ahead of the Leafs?

So back to hockey, when are some of the upcoming hockey dates for WJC, preseason, rookie tournie,...etc.

Have they been announced for this upcoming year yet?

Wondering if the covid world is going to affect the schedule. Anyone taking bets on this yet?
