No, it was Patty Kane being accused of rape at one point during the offseason of 2015.

That link says it was ‘09.

I would understand him saying it back then, but now? Cmon Johnathen.

Yeah, and the way he said it like this was somehow relative to "cancel culture" that IS annoying in a lot of ways. Sexual assault should be cancelled. Not sure how you can defend two people who did absolutely nothing to resolve this atrocity.

The real kicker for me was that they let that (frank)er Aldrich bring the cup to a (frank)ing High School. They could have kept at least 2 people from being assaulted had they canned him and handed him over to authorities back when it happened.

That was when he assaulted a cabbie.


The rape allegation was in August of '15.

Eh, Kane seems to be a douche but read about the cases. They were pretty much nonsense.

Seems to be an issue with the "kane" surname.

To be clear, the ONLY way I trade for Toews is if they retain 50%. It’s the only way it would work for us. And Kravtsov has to be the guy going to the Hawks

But what with is going on now, I don’t think it’s a wise move any longer lol. He basically stated publicly how much Bowman and Macissac have helped throughout his career. Defending them essentially. That no bueno. If you feel that way you keep it to yourself. Rangers don’t need any bad PR, and anyone associated with that team is tainted forever imo

Apparently Beach was bullied by some of his teammates back then with derogatory stuff. Sopel and Boynton have both backed that fact up, as Beach stated. As captain he needed to do more for Beach and he didn’t

Work for us yes, but it also has to work for the other team.

Yes the school thing is criminal. You could tell seeing Beach’s emotions that that’s what killed him as much anything else. And seeing them parade the cup, pics, day with it…Thats when he knew he had literally no one in his corner. Terrible. I honestly don’t cry much lol but man he brought a tear and lump to my throat with the raw emotion. Oofah.

The relief he must feel must be amazing. Vindication and all that

The dude is 33, didn't play at all last year and looks pretty bad to start this year. Oh and has over a 10 million cap hit. I don't understand why anyone would want him

A good read...even if it's from Larry Brooks.

I really think Laf will be the captain down the road. Hence why they didn’t name one. Because you can’t strip the C off anyone once they have it (may aswell trade that guy) Laf isn’t ready for the C just yet I guess

You of all people? Haven’t you been clamoring for a center all summer . The idea would be, to only be on the hook for half his salary tho. Much more attractive that way.

It could be a bad decision but imo I think that’s the reasoning. There is no real reason to not have one. What else could it be?

It's just bad at this point. I think they are considering Fox. But he presents as more of a Leetch type to me and that is not ideal.

Am i on an island thinking it will be Lindgren? Though he could also fit the, gonna trade him eventually pattern.

I don't think Lindgren meets the skill level you want in a captain.

Well yea but I want good centers haha. If Toews was still playing well then sure. But he hasn’t shown anything since 2019

Laf was his whole junior career wasnt he? Peewee too I bet haha. #1OAs have a tendency to get it for the most part.

He obviously has to become a better hockey player first tho. Can’t just be handed it

I'm not sold on that. Fox/Lindy are fine. Trouba and Miller are fine. The third pairing I could part with and bring Jones and Schneider up as those two work great together already.

Kane was accused of stuff (assault) in Buffalo wasn’t he? I think it was in Buffalo. He’s another that probably dropped the ball
- Slimtj100

Accused, yes. But it never went anywhere. The alleged victim's mother tried to make it look like evidence had been tampered with and the police could never substantiate any of the claims from the girl so he was never charged. I'm not Kane's biggest fan, but if we're being fair then I'm comfortable assuming nothing was actually done wrong in that instance.

He did however physically assault a cab driver

60% on faceoffs lol and he isn’t much of a commitment with two years left

It’s all moot anyway, I don’t see the rangers going there anymore. I had no idea about this assault news until after I was goo goo for him lol

I may have been thinking more of the cabbie thing now that I think of it. And if we got him, Reaves would be useless
