I'm a random person with no connection to the NHL or Hockey Canada and I heard on Jan. 19th that Dube and Hart were the two biggest names that would be implicated and that more would be coming.
To think that the NHL teams had no idea or no awareness at all that this was a possibility is just crazy...they maybe didn't have confirmation but they knew it was a possibility for sure.

Interesting because frank has ripped the league on a few occasions this season.
He's a tough one to figure out. I dont know if integrity is one of his primary qualities. I don't think he's a water carrier necessarily, but he might be "doing a solid" for his connections on those teams in this specific instance.
I just think every one needs to take their lumps on this, if there are lumps to be taken. If teams knew behind closed doors for any length of time it shouldn't be covered up with these damage control claims of "being in the dark"
Own it and ensure there's zero tolerance and better handling of it in the future.
