Probably didn’t want to upset the chemistry of the Panthers 7-0 start…

At least Ryan Risaug hit him with the hard hitting questions…

Imagine carrying water for Duncan Keith who hasn't even played 10 regular season games for the Oilers because you're more concerned about protecting your insider access rather than calling a guy on his obvious bs.

If he’s ok to coach he’s ok to talk. If he’s not ok to talk he shouldn’t be coaching.

Did Toews’ reps try to get a hold of him all day and he ignored their calls? Because this is fucking dumb.

Hope the same for you and yours buddy! Sorry lost your number on a phone switch (phone switch = swimming with my phone for 5 minutes without realizing it).

Even just left off the "good people" part at the end and it's better. A little.

It would be an interesting experiment. So his last year in Junior he played 24 games and scored 33 points. The 11 OA pick 3 years prior played 47 games and scored 27 points (Anze Kopitar). Kopitar's career earnings by the end of his career will be *gulp* 126 million.

Brandon Sutter, a guy whose game is probably more comparable, has career earnings of 38m. 11th OA the year before.

Bernier (the goalie) was taken 11th in 06 and his career earnings is 26m.

David Clarkson was a terror in Junior. His career earnings was 48m. But he wasn't drafted.

We have no way of knowing what he would have become if this never happened, but there are more than a few ways you can start to draw a likely comparison.


After the one this year, right? Even if it wins the lottery?

Maybe they should take away the next 5 after this AND make this year's win the lottery. Just to really punish 'em.

Not to disparage Beach but Kopitar had 20 points in 47 games, but it was in the SHL, not junior. And FWIW Kopitar should have never been an 11th OA Pick. If John Muckler wasn't a senile dipshit who picked Brian Lee because ...North America...then Kopitar should have been no later than a 9th overall. And a Sen but I digress. <deep breaths>

Getting back to what Beach, or any 11th OA Pick, could have made? Well the sky is the limit financially. That earning potential and an adult life free from mental anguish, embarrassment. humiliation and unwarranted shame was taken from him. Some of that could have been quickly restored by Blackhawks brass but they didn't do their damn jobs. So at the end of the day compare him to Wayne, Mario and Bobby for all I care. The Hawks need to pay out of the nose. No player comparison can give this guy the last 10 years back. I hope they get destroyed.

Incident??? Or pattern that no one tried to stop and actively covered up....

Yeah right - Keith has always been a stand-up guy. What a friggin joke. Hey Gene and Mark, newsflash, Keith knew and said nothing.

Wonder what those twats would say if it was dropped that it was indeed Keith who taunted the victim.

If you've done nothing wrong, you have nothing to fear.

Yeah, that's where I was going with it. The first wheelbarrow of money should be what he *should* have made if his career panned out normally. Start with what they took from him before they ever hurt him.

THEN go into reimbursing him for the damage. That's a bigger wheelbarrow.

Sometimes these guys should just stick to no comment and leave it at that - Also, how about showing some compassion and empathy for Kyle Beach, nope Tippett doesn't even mention his name. Just one of the good ole boys of a toxic culture.

Not trying to make like light of the subject but Tippetts comments reminded me of this:


Seriously all these toxic folks don't want to be considered "gay" for actually having compassion/empathy towards another human being.
The old fake Alpha Male crap.

 

[Bloody Brian Burke]

Can someone explain to me why Tippett's talking about this at all? What connection does he have to anybody involved? Looking at his resume I'm not seeing any links here.

Is this just dumb hockey man making dumb hockey comment?

Maybe some connection via Hockey Canada perhaps? That's all that comes to mind.

Not sure but I think your latter comment is probably the reality.
