If the incident bothered me that much I would not stop after I mentioned it to a coach and had my agent email the NHLPA. I would have been persistent as heck. I would have been calling my agent every day to say “What the hell are you doing on my behalf? I am paying you a % and you are supposed to be an advocate for me. Get off you ass!!!”

Sure you would

I agree but after watching the racist incident in Rockford and his incident as a Black Ace. Why did he resign with the Blackhawks?

Who resigned with the Blackhawks

Are you questioning why Beach signed again with the Blackhawks? If that's what you're asking to be a pro hockey player, i mean being a RFA a player doesn't have any rights? Do they?

He was also led to believe by the doctor but non doctor the incident was his fault

Sure you would

The Hawks made horrible decisions. So did Beach and his agent. Being a victim does not relieve you of expectation that you vigorously and aggressively pursue justice. Beach was not 16 at the time. I have some sympathy for Beach. But I also question his and his agent’s actions and decisions following the incident and his motivations now.

TOI
Borgstrum 6:49
Strome 8:51
Gaudette did not dress
R Johnson 12:21
Kurashev 13:03
WTF

Stillman 12:04
Gus 14:57
WTF

Plus Hardman played 7:02.

I’m good with Kurashev’s time but R Johnson needs to go.

I like Stillman’s game. He should be playing a solid 15 mins each night.

Well i think you and many of the people that feel the same way are jealous that Beach is going to be compensated for his suffering. He should be. I'm a Blackhawks fan but in this instance i say (frank) the Blackhawks they deserve some financial strain in the way they handled the situation.

Many professions stress integrity and when you are a professional institution that represents young adults, you are responsible for those young adults, period!

Honestly how dense are all of you, THEY ADMITTED THAT THEY (frank)ED UP! and you still side with the Blackhawks,

I am not siding with anyone. I have said repeatedly that the Hawks screwed up. But so did Beach and his agent. The Hawks have admitted that they screwed up (even though they have to feel strongly these lawsuits will be thrown out of the courts). Beach and his agent act like they had no responsibility for anything they did or did not do for 11 years. The punishment and reward should be appropriate. We will see.

Talking about next man up, can’t believe that Gaudette doesn’t bring more to the table than Reese Johnson.
- Angotti

Right. Maybe King is familiar with him from the Rock but I’d start Gaudette any day over R. Johnson.

New blog! Summaries of the Blackhawks vs Coyotes and IceHogs vs Wolves games from Friday night.
