So far, this is somehow more boring than the first quarter of the Bills game.

You responded to a post that was about the bystander effect, FFS. Geez.

Finally another person who filters data through logic rather than virtue signaling has appeared.

Easy, brother. Curt is a really good poster and he did point out something there.

Ah, I misunderstood... so they'd have to build a whole new ring. Makes sense. So then they should be able to scratch through the name on the existing Cups.

Whistleblower laws don't address the bystander effect that Scott is talking about, though. For those unfamiliar, the bystander effect refers to the very real phenomenon that when there are many people witnessing a situation, all assume that someone else is going to take action. A classic example is a mugging on a busy city street: The bystanders all stand and stare, thinking that someone else is going to intervene; meanwhile, the victim gets knocked on her head and her purse is stolen. It's the NHL, not the Charter of Rights and Freedoms. Can't it do whatever it wants?

Someone on WGR just articulated the awesome idea that Aldrich's name should remain on the Cup, but should be defaced with a line through it or scratched through or something, so that everyone who sees the Cup wonders why and finds out. It's a great idea. It's better than removing it.

Shutouts are usually partially a product of the defense and partially a product of goaltending. 4 shutouts in 7 games, though, is impressive no matter what.

He's gonna have a tough time breaking all of the records while he's winning a Calder and a Vezina next year.

Damn. $70 for a season pass for AHL TV.

Yeah I get you. I don't necessarily think it was nefarious. I don't want them to have anything nice.

To me, it's "hey we could design something or we could just copy this." It's not a ripoff necessarily, it's just lazy. It's kind of like when the Penguins copied the Rangers.

All I see is Team Canada when I look at that sweater. I was always jealous that they had such a kickass uniform. This is all fine and good, but I still see Team Canada. But you're right, it could be totally non-infringing--and I don't know a whole lot about IP rights in Canada, anyway.

Well, if I have to wake up in the middle of the night, at least I am waking up to learn that they won. Back to sleep.

Well now I can't go to sleep until after THIS period. This is how it starts. The first one's free, and then...

A little Rasmus-to-Rasmus action!

Dogs turn white and fluffy when you cook them?

Tortorella back in America's Wang with a 7-0 team? And Q coached last night, too.

I'm going to end up being awake for the first period of this damned thing whether I like it or not, so I might as well have it on.

Interesting ...

Something's messy. "Two former Chicago Blackhawks players" appears not to be accurate in two respects (Beach never played for Chicago and he is only one person), and I am questioning whether (1) TSN was inaccurate or (2) there's still something we don't know. TSN's reputation always has been pretty good, as far as I know. It has nothing to do with the bona fides of Beach as a victim, and I think some people are misunderstanding me that way.

It doesn't. It just goes back to the TSN story *and that's all*. First post, this thread. He could have been the mailroom sorter; it's the same crime and the same coverup.

And cloned him, apparently. Book you might enjoy (I am not suggesting this with snark; I think you'd enjoy it): https://www.amazon.com/Lifespan-Fact-John-DAgata/dp/0393340732 Well stated. This could have been the Sabres or the Celtics, or even Tebow's* Mets. The problem is way larger than the Chicago Blackhawks. *That was snarky.

Thank you, gentlemen.
