  1. 🏒🥅🇨🇦I haven’t watched Oilers this season, until this evening (TO 7-EDM 2). It was strange, to be rooting against the team I’d been supporting in recent years. It didn’t take long to know I’d made the right decision.
    The leadership fail that is McDrai was on full display: not playing 200 ft, on-ice for at least 2 goals against. The much-vaunted coaching change looking like it’s made no difference (McDrai line the only scoring line; McD playing bloated TOI; lines 2-3-4 not effective, not having any of the “identity” we were told was one of the previous coach’s failings; blaming goalies for lack of 200-ft play; etc).

    Plus, the “acquitted rapist” is still on the team.

    À recent article asked why Oilers aren’t selling out? Maybe all of the above? Plus that the owner keeps gouging fans with his ticket, beer prices?

  2. 🏒🥅🇨🇦It’s a small gesture. I’ve meant to do something besides sign Mama Stanley’s petition and post my disgust. But here it is, me trashing my Oilers jerseys as a response to them trashing their fans. At least, the fans who think signing an acquitted rapist (not criminal, but still WRONG) is an awful thing.

    ps. This kind of WRONG behaviour is apparently “unacceptable” to the NHL, but if you wait 3-4 months… it’s ok? It’s the same frat boy behaviour that’s epidemic wherever boys and men gather and create secret societies and clubs. Ugh.

    pps. If you want to sign Mama Stanley’s petition, it’s a place to vent your displeasure. Whether you’re a former Oilers fan, or displeased that Vegas and St. Louis also think it’s fine to hire acquitted rapists.

  3. 🏒🥅 🇨🇦 Last night the Las Vegas Golden Knights undersold their game v Toronto Maple Leafs by 2000+ seats. It was the first time the VGK regular and playoff history that they failed to sell out.

    Were Leafs fans boycotting the game?
    Was it because the US President keeps threatening Canada and Canadians chose to stay home?
    Was it because VGK fans are done with supporting a team that features an acquitted rapist in net?
    All of the above?

  4. @fgraver @caffeinatedgeek @mike “Mama Stanley,” à hard-core Oilers fan, is challenging the Oilers organization to reconsider their signing of a sexual predator (acquitted rapist). It’s a step towards holding athletes and mgt accountable. Her petition has almost 74,000 signatures. Worth signing, IMO. And worth sharing amongst hockey fans who aren’t ok with the rape culture that’s endemic in Canada’s boys and men’s hockey.

    ps. Two other clubs have signed known sexual predators, St. Louis Blues and Las Vegas Golden Knights. Many Hurricanes fans expressed their disapproval of VGK’s player during this year’s SCF. I believe we need more of that vocal disapproval of bad actors.

  5. “"The fact that there are these communities where as men they feel comfortable not just speaking in this way but inviting their friends to participate in this event, raises serious cultural concerns for me," Hnatiw said.”

  6. @dbattistella @hnom One high profile hockey fan, “Mama Stanley,” responded to the Oilers signing à Hockey-5 “acquitted rapist” with a petition. 72,000+ signatures to date.
    If you’re not a fan of rape culture in hockey, I encourage you to add your name.

    ps. Other Hockey-5 “acquitted rapists” have been signed by the Las Vegas Golden Knights and the St. Louis Blues.

    Pps. Acquittal does not mean “not guilty.” In this case it means that the judge would not accept the victim’s testimony as credible.

    ppps. I believe the only way we, as men, become worthy of respect starts with taking personal responsibility for our behaviours. To date, none of the Hockey-5 have made any public steps towards integrity. This is a sign of gross immaturity. Failing to mature is a health issue for many of us men in this culture.

  7. @dbattistella Cornell today. The “Hockey 5” last summer. The legal system, “the white man’s FUBU: for us, by us…,” as Stirling puts it.

    It’s why some of us won’t be Edmonton Oilers fans. Or Las Vegas Golden Knights fans. Or St. Louis Blues fans. Because we won’t accept that acquitting rapists is the same as “not guilty,” and doesn’t make it ok to pay these men lots of money. This FUBU legal system is making rape ok for hockey players, frat boys, etc.

  10. Kickin’ It with Kiz: The Broncos’ Super Bowl dream as shaky as Bo Nix’s ankle

    I hate those heavily weighted games for the Broncos during the first four weeks of the NFL season.…

  11. I’ve been pretty tight lipped about the #FloridaPanthers since they beat the Bruins in the first round (no need to shit talk or jinx anything) but if the hockey gods are listening, do not let tonight be the end of this. No hate to Vegas, they deserve it just as much, but the story the Panthers are writing right now is just TOO good for it to end like this.
