Cries of defamation is often cried by the guilty as a way of sounding innocent.

But certainly not saying that is the case here.

But I would think that those crying "defamation" should wait until they hear what is being said before making such a claim. They most be pretty sure that someone is naming them.
Oh for sure. I just don't see the NHL front running the police charges if there is a valid angle for a defamation lawsuit.
It is interesting because if the NHL suspends players who were present then it is basically known they found them guilty of enough wrong doing to act but if they leave it publicly as suspended for failure to meet terms in the player contract without stating why then is there really any merit to a defamation case.
