    I'm not worried yet about next season signings.

    Hertyl is going to be more expensive than Mony.

    I like the player but we have to be certain we are re-signing him.

     

    Besides, this is the new Monahan.

    Bigger, stronger, faster....

    LOL

    I think he gets him game back.

    A lot of people are complaining about his performance, but I think that is unfair given the injuries he sustained. I think he turns it around this year.

    You have to wonder about the players that knew…how much blame do they share and do they deserve reprimand? Wow what a mess 

    That is a very good question, and it applies to many others. Whistle blowers tend to experience difficulties finding employment after they come clean with something because companies worry that they are trouble makers. If you bury a criminal matter, as these guys have done, then you are punished for a cover up. You cannot win. The corporation is designed in such a way as to incentivize coverups. What level of culpability should be assigned to people who did not actually DO anything wrong, but failed to report the matter? For example, should Q be forced to resign? Should Chevy? Those who made decisions in this matter such as giving dude the letter of reference and shipping the guy elsewhere should face the music. But, I am not sure exactly sure what sanction should be handed to the others. I would actually lean on the side of being lenient in order to increase the likelihood of more reporting in the future. If there was no structural penalty to these people, I suspect that they would have been more than happy to report the matter.

    duncan keith denies knowing anything.. others say everyone knew

    Given everything that has been said, I think it is obvious that more people knew a lot more about what happened than what they are saying. This is an absolute disaster. Peters was fired for using inappropriate, racist language. The behaviour of the hawks has lead to serious physical and psychological harm. What a shame. There were so many players I thought highly of on that team.

    Wasn’t a very clean game. Turnovers were an issue, PP doesn’t look very good and they really struggled getting the puck out of the zone. Not a great game all around. 
     

    On the positive side, if you play with effort above avg defense and good goaltending you can win games and shutout teams even if other parts of your game are still coming around. That isn’t something that has been common for the team in recent years. 

    I think almost every aspect of the game needs work given how early it is in the season.

    Markstrom looked much calmer and confident.

    I don't understand how Chucky can swat a moving puck 15' in the air with a small stick, but also go off-side so often. I wonder if his skating needs attention because one would assume it is not his timing.
