OK let me get this straight...
7 (SEVEN!) first round picks on a team LAST in the Metro, Losers of 11 straight--a 2nd 10 game or more losing streak in this season.. No Philly Bias here..... - Amanion
Tristan Jarry is a far better goalie than Carter Hart...
He's an 18 year old kid, and it happened when he was 17, let's lay off him. - prock
Absolutely not. Despite what he did, the kid still gets to be a first round draft pick in the NHL, so he really suffered no meaningful consequences for his actions. Obviously everyone make mistakes when they are young, but if you think it's acceptable to chalk up his behaviour to just 'boys being boys', then you are probably someone women don't/shouldn't feel safe around. That's more addressed towards the original poster's attitude towards 'losers running him out of town'
Speaking of 1st round picks; Logan Mailloux has looked really, really good in his first few games in Londy, even drawing Burnsy comparisons. Hopefully the loser libs woke brigade don't run this kid outta town. He should be a fixture on the Habs back-end for decades.
That blue line come up is looking vicious.
Romanov, Guhle, Mailloux, Brook, Xhekaj, Harris, Struble, Fairbrother and Norlinder and then you realize the Gortonater hasn't even got started yet.
A bright, bright future is upon us.
Romy settling in nicely, already 2nd in the league in hits. Big boy hockey

Happy to hear this, the pitchforks were out in Mtl. Give the kid a chance.

Unless I'm missing something, his "sex offender" crime was having consensual sex with a woman and then sharing a picture of the act without her consent.
I'm not saying that's not something that he should be punished for. But lumping all sex offenders into one group, putting him in the same group as rapists and child molesters, seems a bit harsh given what he did.
In the end, yeah, it was a horrible decision. No argument here. But come on...many pro athletes, even NHL players, have done far worse.

I understand that, and I'm not saying he should be spending years of his life in jail as if he had committed one of the crimes you mentioned. But I'm certainly not going to just shrug my shoulders and 'lay off him' as if he's suddenly some sympathetic figure. The posts lamenting the fact that 'the losers are going to run him out of town' and that the 'pitchforks are out for him' as if he were somehow a victim and therefore an underdog worth rooting for, are completely disgusting and insensitive. Specifically rooting for him to be successful as a way of 'owning the libs' really underlines a toxic culture that doesn't value women's security and bodily autonomy. I wonder how the women in these posters' lives would feel about these attitudes.
And with all due respect, the idea that we have failed to hold athletes to account in the past as an argument to not begin to do so now is not a good one.

I dont think Id give up a 1st for Konecny but I agree with the rest.
Giroux is one of the top players in the league on a poor team
Couturier is a Selke trophy winner who's been hurt all season
Provorov is a top Dman
Hart is a top G despite the poor team in front.
York and Farabee are young 1st round picks who just entered the league. York is only playing because of how decimated the Flyers lineup is.

I'm not saying it's okay for him to do what he did because other athletes have done worse and (for the most part) gotten away with a slap on the wrist. Simply that it's not as if it's anything new. That was all.
And I'm not victim blaming at all. I know my friends and I did some stupid stuff at 18 so, while I'm not absolving him by any means, I'm gonna have some faith that he's going to make better decisions going forward.
One of the dumbest articles in the history of Hockeybuzz. So many of these players, especially on the best teams would never consider trading their top players.
Cary Price is 34, has not played all season long, may never play again AND has a cap hit of 10.5m for four more seasons after this season.

the more I think about it, yea, this was deff a top 10 dumb article from hockeybuzz.
Can we compile a list of all the dumb articles on this site and vote which one is the dumbest of them all?
Saw that Drake Batherson wasn't on Ottawa's list. If a 23-yr old scoring over a PPG isn't worth a 1st, then your whole list loses credibility real quick.

okay, but if you punish him beyond what is reasonable, you make him a victim. It was a stupid thing to do, but he was 17 years old, a dumb kid. Taking away his career is obviously way too harsh. IMO, having a bunch of keyboard warriors tearing him apart as a sex offender for the rest of his life is also too harsh. technically, most countries wouldn't allow for publishing his name, as he was too young. So yeah, it's out there now (when it arguably shouldn't be), but I think screaming about him being a sex offender every time his name gets mentioned is pretty disgusting as well.
So yes, what you did, with your post, is a pretty vile thing to do.
quite frankly, this site has, in the past, made it bannable to talk about things like this that involve a minor. so, you starting with your post, I would say should be justification for a ban.
