Dube, Lucic... these guys were shown to us as stand up, community minded guys who could play tough on the ice. The club was still using dube in charity events until recently! And now we find out that one is an alleged rapist and one is implicated in a disgusting domestic abuse incident. It's a lot. It's a lot to feel like the people you're supposed to support as heroes are actually total scum.
how do you trust what the club says now? How do you not think that the culture is absolute dog #### organization wide if guys like this were previously being highlighted as the best of the bunch?? It's pathetic.

Do you want to know what offends me?
That these players probably arent looking at jail time.
That there were officers and executives in Hockey Canada that had a 'Baked in Rape Slush Fund' that essentially says that this is 'OK.'
That that slush fund was funded with money from sponsors? Okay companies get screwed all the time.
That that slush fund was funded with money from the Government? Okay...taxpayers get screwed all the time.
That that slush fund was funded with money that average Canadians paid for Hockey Fees so their kids can play? Thats too damned far.
Nope. Not going to accept that. Throw those bastards in jail. The players responsible and every executive at the time.
You want to set a new standard? Its time to scorch some Earth and salt the land behind you.
