It was two years ago and I think they made it to the conference finals that year. Just thought some context was needed. It really was last week.

Good luck with that. Arizona is a one-party consent state, so there's no crime. As far as a civil suit goes, I doubt the guy is collectible.

I'm getting sick of people thinking they can record anything and just throw it online, I get you got a cam for security reasons. Or if you need it to back up your claims whenever something happens. But don't just throw any personal stuff online.

Even sadder is the fact that many are actually after their own 15 minutes of fame, for good, or bad.

I remember when I first read 1984 and thinking, "C'mon, Big Brother is always listening?! Seems a little ridiculous, but still a good story, though." I now think the only things that Orwell got wrong were that He's also watching,… and that "He" is "Us." Edited November 6, 2018 by SwampD 1

Ever been talking about something aloud with someone and then go to Google it and you type 2 letters and the whole thing comes up? Yeah, "he is" Oh and that driver is a smarmy *****.

TrueBlueGED Posted November 6, 2018 Report Posted November 6, 2018 Chicago fired the wrong guy. I don't think Quenneville traded Panarin for Saad, gave Seabrook a retirement contract, cap dumped Hjalmarsson, etc etc etc. 1
thewookie1 Posted November 6, 2018 Report Posted November 6, 2018 I would certainly take JQ here, but I doubt that will happen. 1

It's well known him and Q have been at major odds lately because of these moves and some other issues, and it looks like Bowman won. Now Quennenville will go to Edmonton and win another Cup

LTS Posted November 6, 2018 Report Posted November 6, 2018 Well that's a curious move. It really will be interesting to see which team snaps him up because you know it's coming.

That was my thought. I know the ride share companies try to carry on with the independent contractor approach, but I trust plaintiffs' lawyers are trying to make them answerable for stuff like this. 31 minutes ago, TrueBlueGED said: Chicago fired the wrong guy.

Bowman missed on some stuff, for sure, as things got dicey with the cap, but he also won a few Cups and went to some conference finals during his run.

Hockey players from Ottawa in Arizona? I'm not so sure that counts as public figures. More people out there probably know who I am and I've never even set foot in that state.

With all the crazy things that people sue over in this country, you'd have to believe anyone considering going after an Uber driver would also go after Uber itself.
