John Doe will be on Sportscentre tonight

He asked to reveal his identity

Really interested if some former players get thrown to the wolves here

I don't think he played in the playoffs, was he not just a call up?

I've heard some speculation on who it is but that's all it is.

Since he’s revealing his identity tonight anyways. I believe it’s Cam Barker. But we will find out soon

I have no idea why I typed Cam Barker. I meant Kyle Beach

He fits the proposed height and weight and draft status of said John Doe

Jim Gary, the Blackhawks' mental skills coach, told investigators "he sometimes used what he regarded as juvenile sexual humor... to engage with the young male players in order to encourage them to receive mental skills coaching and counseling from him." https://t.co/4JuUhYaayh

New: The Illinois Department of Financial and Professional Regulation, which licenses certified counsellors, has opened an investigation of "Doc" Jim Gary, who is not an actual doctor, and who allegedly told "John Doe 1" the sexual abuse he suffered was his own fault.

Heard on @ColdStovePod, but I'll go into it here as well... My understanding of VGK/Eichel is that there are detractors in the Vegas FO regarding moving significant futures and assets for Eichel, who on an optimistic timeline, is still 4 months away.

That isn't to discredit their interest. They are in play, bigly, for Eichel. Deal isn't on the 2 yard line yet though

From NRD. I know, more of the same - its hard to tell if other outlets are repeating what he reported or if there is a lot more smoke.

😅😅😅

It's amazing that a grown adult can be so triggered by a player turning him down for an autograph.

It was you he turned down right, not that story you had made up and were sharing for months on end?

- kingcong39


I'll give you the benefit of the doubt, as I've explained this before.

He told my friends teenage daughter " my girlfriend wouldnt like it" when she asked Samson to take a picture with her. It was at the arena ( his place of employment) after a game.

Seems like a D!ck move.

Some locals around here have turned it into me being denied an autograph. I haven't met him , nor should I ever meet him, ask for an autograph...

Sorry for the insult...

I know, but until it’s completely public i don’t think I have much interest trying to figure it out.

But then again it could be worse, we could be making Paul Walker jokes

Players don’t owe you (or anyone) an autograph, picture, etc
And he wasn’t a “d!ck” about it,
he gave a very reasonable explanation
It’s completely understandable that a player’s Gf wouldn’t wanna see pics of him with other women plastered all over the internet

The hate you’ve had for him is ridiculous
Especially with that being the reason
Wow
