YOU'RE ACTING LIKE A HOSER

The video from that thread is honestly hard to believe. You have to know he's been briefed on whatever the canned answer should be and he just "yeah yeah"d through it, now he just completely shit the bed in public.

Wirtz is looking like a piece of beef jerky you pull out of the bag that is going to take you 5 minutes to chew up.

But jerky has more awareness. 

[odessasteps]

Is he the member of the Wirtz Family that was pals with Flair?

It's almost as if Bettman's entire job is doing whatever the owners want him to say or do. Don't waste time attacking the puppet, go after the ones pulling the strings.

To be fair, that’s all the commissioners, not just The Count.

Yup, the last real commissioner in pro sports was Fay Vincent.

I think my favourite part of Bettman's presser was the part that the NHL has opened up an anonymous hotline to report abuse and that they've recieved several calls and they're investigating them.

My dude, we had multiple people outed in a cover up of sexual assault less than 4 months ago and not a single person has been kicked out of the league. I wouldn't call that number if it was the last phone number on earth.

[Death From Above]

Long, long, long overdue.

Toronto are wearing their 5 different uniform in 5 straight games. Tonight is the Bieber sweater.

Goodness gracious.... and I cannot stress this enough....  YIKES.

 

Doing this from their main accounts and not from a burner or whatever, meant the Twitteratti found pretty much all of them within minutes of her post.

Multiple major sponsors including Canadian Tire and Tim Horton's are pulling out of supporting Canada at the world juniors due to Hockey Canada being full of rotten shitheads that have tried to hush hush sexual abuse for God only knows how long.

News breaking of a sexual assault by the 2002/03 Canadian junior team:

There's a lot of layers to this onion but it breaks down into "Oilers owner Darryl Katz has been outed as a fucking creep, again, yes, again"

Of course all the team shill media in Edmonton are very quiet, what else is new.

[Tabe]

He's still a creep and this is still gross but she wasn't underage. She was 17 and age of consent in Canada is 16.

[elizium]

It's a sexually exploitative relationship, which a 17 year old cannot consent to. And paying for sex with anyone under the age of 18 is considered child prostitution, regardless of the age of consent law

Also, I now feel like a gross libertarian for talking about age of consent

e: and like 8 hours later, we are in the right thread

[Travis Sheldon]

"u r wise beyond your years" is the most creepy boomer shit I've read in a minute.

I really don't want to keep harping on this gross topic, but, like, the Oilers are kinda gross and there's no real way to avoid seeing that. Vrtanen is a mediocre KHL player at this point that shouldn't even be in the top 100 PTO options, the only reason to even bring him in is to be an ass at this point.

Honestly unsure how much attention I'll be paying to the NHL this year. I went to a bunch of Junior A games in Vegreville last year and had way more fun than I've had following this dumpster fire of an NHL team for years so I might just stick to that.

Are the Oil Kings an option as well?

In more positive oilers news, the McFarlene designed drip logo is coming back as their retro alternate sweater.

Tampa has suspended Ian Cole in the wake of allegations that he groomed and assaulted a minor teen:

Oh, I forgot to mention, Andrew Brunette was arrested last week for DUI.   What was he driving?  

A golf cart.  

(When I mention the arrest happened in Boca Raton, it makes a little more sense.)
