Heads have to roll in Chicago and other guys that were there at the time (Coach Q, Chevy, and Marc Bergevin) should also have to face the music. If it was an open secret amongst the players in Chicago, all coaches and mgmt. etc. knew as well.

Have a feeling they will get out unscathed, just like the Catholic religion.

Don't see me bragging or talking shit about that now, do ya? :wink:

Nobody was bragging or "talking shit". It's a fact that every Canadian team outside of the richest one has had at least one season since 2004 where they full on competed for a Cup.

Talking shit might be throwing the number 1967 and only six teams about. :wink::yo:

I mean, I definitely bragged and talked shit when they signed John Tavares, who had more points than any other player on a non-Leaf Canadian team this season except for McDavid, Draisaitl and Schiefele, because that was awesome and JT has done nothing since being signed but be one of the most consistent producers in the league. Who wouldn't brag about that? The last "top" free agent to sign with a Canadian team was fucking Milan Lucic lol.

And hey, maybe if he didn't have Corey Perry's knee drilled into his skull 10 minutes into the first game of the playoffs the Leafs might have held on and made a run themselves instead of total capitulation in the most razor-thin margin imaginable but them's the breaks. LOLEAFS amirite?

Yep, you were just mentioning a random interesting fact. That was your intent and all that you were doing, I understand now.

Yes. I was. But it is certainly a bonus to me that the Leafs are the team has sucked ass for close to 20 years (being generous here).

But I do apologize for being the first person to post a fact that is unflattering to another team. I'll try to be better.

I hope you have learned your lesson. That kind of treachery will not stand.

oh, fuck off....

Isn't this them basically admitting that the abuse was indeed reported to them though?

I mean, criminal penalties would be nice, but if indeed it was an "open secret" in the team and they did nothing to really stop it and has since totally denied any knowledge then throw civil penalties at them. Anyone who did know needs to get the fuck out of the game and never allowed anywhere near anything hockey related forever. Same for anyone at the league level who may have known.

As for using the "legally we didn't have to" argument.

I want to apologize up front to @KennyBanyeah. We feel your pain.

NOTE: We do want to thank Melnyk for taking him off our hands and eliminating a chance of him being hired on ESPN or TNT.
