  I have a hard time believing the players who have been copping the ‘I didn’t  know’ card.

I don't believe them at all. It's a stain on all of them, and particularly Kane/Toews, etc.

One could forgive them for what they did 11 years ago if they show true signs of attrition and regret and growth, but now they're just liars.

   Yeah, all of the interviews I’ve heard so far have seemed pretty shallow.  The Edmonton sports media is a joke at best, but at least they made Duncan Keith squirm for ten minutes plus. 
 

   Up next, coach Joel Quenelleville.  Good luck backtracking your way out of this one, guy.

A truly awful story to be sure. 

Part of this is the general disbelief that men can be the victims of sexual assault. That's a belief that goes well beyond the confines of the United Center or professional hockey. It made it easy for Blackhawk management to dismiss the allegations. When the guys at the top of an organization fail to do anything, nobody under them will rock the ship much. Especially not a ship that was headed toward a Stanley Cup victory.

Kane and Toews comments reflect they didn't take it very seriously back then and that they still don't now.

Bettman is old news and the time for him to resign has been ticking overdue for years. If you want to pile on the Chicago hockey team (and Bettman) on some of the most deplorable incidents; look into times drunken Patrick Kane skated away with no action from the league. Bettman works for the owners so do you really expect him to protect players on his own accord? On the other hand how does Donald Fehr keep his job?

TIL: Well, at least from someone who knows hockey, what he told me. That defense and goalies have gotten better so an uptick in deflection scores. That pickup the puck off the ice move looks pretty hard. Especially to do it that quickly under the time pressure of a game. Kind of reminds me of juggling a golf ball, but that skill doesn't help much with scoring in golf whereas in hockey, it did here. I don't watch hockey and don't know it as well as other sports, but this looks like it was quite something.

If I was a Blackhawks fan I'd have to seriously consider finding a new team.

I refuse to watch the video from England. I've heard about it, and apparently the act looked intentional, not accidental. Not necessarily directly to the neck, but I've heard it looks like a kick on purpose.

This has me 10x more shook than Matthew Perry.

I refuse to watch it, too, but I’ve read people saying it was intentional, it was an accident, etc. I’m not going to make a judgement on something I don’t have knowledge of. It’s a sad event either way.

From Adam Johnson's Nottingham Panthers teammate Westin Michaud on Twitter:

"I need to address something about the accident. We wholeheartedly stand with Matt Petgrave. The hate that Matt is receiving is terrible and completely uncalled for. I was at ice level on the bench closest to the accident, I saw both players moving fast. The unintentional clip of the Panther player's leg by the Sheffield player caused the somersault. It's clear to me his actions were unintentional and anyone suggesting otherwise is mistaken. Let's come together and not spread unwarranted hate to someone who needs our support."

A number of Johnson’s former teammates in the AHL shared similar messages. Incredibly sad that they need to take time away from grieving to put that out there because of trolls attacking a guy on the other end of a tragic accident.

I also have a friend currently playing pro overseas who has played against Petgrave a number of times. He messaged me surprised that people are going after him at all when it’s so obvious from the video that catching the Panthers player upended him while going for a hip check. 


All of the above is from Taylor Haase at DKPS.

Hmmmm.

Given the further information I've read, I'd hate to see two lives lost to this. And I still have not and will not watch the video.

    • Day 364: About an hour and a half practice session. Spent most of it at the range. Did a solid 30 minutes of work on my priority piece, with filming. I think it's improving, but will probably check in on Evolvr to make sure. Then spent the last ~20 minutes putting, working mostly on short putts.

    • Day 79 (19 July 25) - Band rehearsal this morning - got home midafternoon, opted to work more with the magnetic alignment tool with the wedges.  Used it to work on face position at the bottom of the swing arc - followed up with easy pitches up to 50yds.  Seeing better face control and over improved accuracy toward target…session was cut short with pop up rain showers.
    • This is a great discussion. Other parts of the course where there are houses have white stakes and signs. This keeps people from trespassing and hitting shots on their property. There is another county road on the east side of the course that does not have white stakes like the hole I described. I checked the score card and there is nothing to indicate these roadways are OB. I think a county drainage ditch would be considered government right-of-way so it is the peoples land 🤣. But you are in the power industry and know more about those sorts of things than me.
