Around the NHL - 2023/24 Season

So the guy is too toxic for the nhl so a team with developing kids (maturity wise) is the right location for him? This is ridiculous. The hurricanes should be ashamed.

I guess it depends if he's learned from his past mistakes, and avoids repeating them going forward.

He went through some kind of re-education program with a diversity alliance so they factored that in

 

[Rubi]

From what I've heard he has yet to apologize in person to Akim Alieu. That's disturbing.
Is Peters just going through the motions in order to get back into coaching? Box A ... check. Box B... check...
Has he really changed and regrets what he did?

Seems weird in that if say a cop or a teacher was fired for something similar they don’t often get to be a cop or teacher again. But in hockey there’s an expectation you get more chances.

This seems a lot like a public sector vs. private sector thing. It's not like bad PR hits owners in the wallet. A bad product does so ten times worse

Michael Richards? (Kramer)

 

[DomBarr]

i think the most intriguing non Flame but related to the Flames thing going on is how Treliving handles the cap issue he has put the Leafs into. Does he sell off a 1st to get rid of Brodie? Does he sell Nylander at a discount?

Regardless the Leaf fans are not gonna be happy with what he has to do to get them cap compliant

I was always willing to give Peters another chance, learn from your mistakes and grow, but it's been how many years and he still can't apologize to Akim in person? Even at the presser he mentions that he has tried to reach out, etc.

bruh, you're a millionaire, if you can't find a way to talk to him in person you simply DGAF, at all.

He clearly hasn't learned a damn thing and is just another fake loser who can't be accountable for his actions.

What's messed up to me is Aliu said he had another coach reach out trying to get him in contact with Peters for an apology like a week or two ago. You know, right before he's announced as coach. Pretty transparent there what he's doing. If he had tried to do the apology say while he was completing the sensitivity course or whatever, whether Aliu accepted it or talked to him then, it would have at least shown effort and intentions.

Can't speak for teachers, but cops usually just get placed on paid leave while an investigation takes place, then "resign" (preventing them from getting the "fired" part on their employment) which lets them re-apply (and almost always) get the job in a different district.

Physically speaking, Lethbridge is a good location for racists, a large portion of our population will relate to him.

In terms of influencing kids, it's a f***ing terrible idea, that I expect nothing less from when it comes to the Hurricanes. There is a reason I refuse to support my local WHL franchise.

League first brothers traded for each other and then on PTOs trivia question?

I signed that before the last couple CBA's, gave it the DiPietro special, so I'm stuck with it for the next... 25 or so years?

 

[Mobiandi]

Everyone and their dog knew Babcock wasn’t going to last in Columbus but getting fired this quickly for being a moron is unreal

 

[Anglesmith]

This reminds me of those Club Penguin speed run videos.

 

[Rubi]

About Mike Babcock... From guys who actually know..

 

[Anglesmith]

Not sure it's true to so no one had anything good to say about him. Wasn't Nash part of the decision to hire him?

Yes Nash was a supporter. Gaudreau, Jenner, and Werenski all had good things to say. That's a hot take from O'Neill, even though Babcock is well-hated around the league.

 

[Lunatik]

Waivers has started with a flurry.

Ty Smith, Taylor Fedun, Jonathan Gruden, Xavier Ouellet, and Rem Pitlick were waived by the Penguins.

Canucks waived Spencer Martin

Cal Burke waived by the Avs.

 

[Kranix]

Tampa's going to need a goalie. Vladar?

He's only out 8-10 weeks, so I could see them claiming Spencer Martin.

 

[Rubi]

Early release. Darryl probably thinks StL just made a huge mistake.
