I missed the 1st and a little over half of the 2nd.  Flyers looked good in the 2nd but Florida appeared to carry the bulk of the play in the 3rd.  Luckily, they were able to pull that one out.

You could read Trevor’s mind as he was skating back…”Risto isn’t gonna score.  He has cement hands so I’ll take it easy.  D’0h!!”

Tippett is back in the line-up tonight.

After I posted that last statement, I realized this point would be made. What I was referring to was a general statement that if there was a video of the offense, it would be telling as to what actually happened in that room (irrefutable evidence)

 

the videos in question are, questionable. It was pretty common knowledge that she was intoxicated from what I read. So those videos could be under duress, or true evidence that they did nothing wrong. Here’s the problem I have though, if nothing illegal happened in that room, why do you need to make video in the first place?

 

I stand by my original position though, I question what the “new” evidence was/is, that brought this to where we are today 

I did see a news article that had a defence (<—-see what I did there) lawyer talking about those videos, may have been the same lady that @JR Ewing posted above.  She said pretty much what you are saying regarding “under duress”. She also said that even thought the girl could’ve been drunk, her actions in the video could still mean it really was consensual.

I agree with you in why video if nothing illegal, but the 12 second video is what really muddies the water for me.  Seems to me that was a lot of relaxed conversation for someone that didn’t want to be there.

If there was video, that wouldn’t have been kept secret..

 

Quoted from the article I posted in the another thread.

In one six-second video recorded at about 3:25 am, an unidentified player asks E.M., “You’re okay with this”

“I’m okay with this,” she responds.

A second video, 12 seconds long, was filmed at 4:26 am.

“Are you recording me?” E.M. said on the video. “Okay, good. It was all consensual. You are so paranoid. Holy. I enjoyed it. It was fine. It was all consensual. I am so sober, that’s why I can’t do this right now.”

Lawyers representing several of the players showed TSN those videos in the summer(opens in a new tab), arguing that any sexual contact between players and E.M. had been consensual.

Younan’s case summary indicates that E.M. told detective Stephen Newton that a third video was also recorded during the incident.

In my college journalism courses if you made a fact error, your grade was an F. No matter what. Our profs circled the error stopped reading, got the largest  red marker available in 1990 and drew that sucker at least 8 x 8, so when the work was returned your peers knew you had ****ed up.

It really only took one occurrence to learn the lesson.

That experience still shapes my formal writing today.

 

I wonder if that article's author had formal training?

 

I hope you don’t have PTSD from that class.

Hershey Bears vs Lehigh Valley Phantoms about to start on NHL Network.

from the Sporting News: 1/24/24

 

"Victor Mete and Jordan Kyrou confirmed that they did not attend the gala and were not in London at the time of the incident. 

The following players have come out either via personal statement or with their agency to say that they were not involved with the allegations: Jake Bean, Kale Clague, Max Comtois, Dillon Dube, Dante Fabbro, Cal Foote, Jonah Gadjovich, Carter Hart, Brett Howden, Cale Makar, Colton Point, Taylor Raddysh, Sam Steel, Tyler Steenbergen, Robert Thomas and Conor Timmins."

 

yikes!! Cale Makar? 

 

That's 17 players saying that they were not involved...somebody be lying, me thinks.....

Ummm…I went to public school in PA but I count 18 in your post.

Lets hope so, on the course. But them coming back down to earth won't hurt. 

 

Tippett is definitely coming around to the player he should be. I don't think he has the "smarts" to ever be a superstar, but he sure has size, speed and shot, and he's not afraid to use it. 

I’ve heard it twice now but don’t remember who said it…Tippett is the fastest skater in the NHL.  Not sure how that is quantified, but I’ll take it.

It wouldn’t be a great comeback without spotting your opponent an insurmountable lead.  

The top half of this article is a re-hash of every other article I’ve read.  The bottom half is sort of a timeline of the alleged assault.  Synopsis from the initial investigation maybe?

Flyers look like they’re asleep.

Phantoms game vs Wilkes-Barre Scranton Penguins will be broadcast on NHL Network on Friday at 7pm Eastern.  We get to watch Bobby Brink play!

Never say die!

I haven’t been impressed with Hart this season.  Not sure what his issue is.  He just doesn’t seem to have it this year.

What a period by Frost!!  He needs to be double shifted!

Thank you, Flyers!  At least I won’t feel like a total loser tonight after watching that fiasco in Tampa.  Great road trip for the Flyers!

Thanks, OR

Anyone have a link?
