I've never really imagined Horcoff as a troublemaker. This seems really odd to me.

He probably said something along the lines of how good Taylor Hall's 2 way game was and it just spiraled from there.

Extremely odd.

Apparently the league is going to comment on it soon.

10 points in 45 games with PEDs. He should sue his supplier.

I have to imagine hockey is one of the sports where PEDs have the least beneficial impact.

He should be the new poster boy for how PEDs don't help in hockey.

It's funny how the only guys they "catch" are fringe players at best.

Well depending on what it is he used, he could be a ringing endorsement. The guy is 37 and still in the league. Never more than a marginal player and still hanging around playing decently. Could be TRT, but who knows I suppose.
