I'd be surprised if it was booze. Wouldn't the first step be time off due to "personal reasons" and they'd send him to rehab? Unless he refused to go.

I would too. The statement “material act of unprofessionalism” sounds like a who dates 18 year olds students. Not illegal also not professional. Being that he worked at a University prior to being with the Stars, I would imagine it has something to do with students.

I have been biting my keyboard tongue for 20 years on this subject because it would seem rather nitpicky to point it out, but they are literally two different words with completely different meanings.

Bias instead of biased. Role instead of roll and vice versa. Queue instead of cue. Tow the line.

I’m going to call drunk and disorderly. In a transvestite bar. Not illegal, not rehabilitatible, and it would make Benn and Seguin smirk.

I live in Dallas and heard through someone loosely connected to the team that this involves ice girls. I've seen a couple others on Reddit mention the same. No legit source, just a rumor around these parts.

Geez. Now they’re firing people for having bad taste in movies? Talk about snowflakes.

At his age with his looks? Good for him if he had one or two ice girls consensually. maybe they did a little PnP in the arena. I could see that being frowned upon.

Can't handle when someone uses "mute" instead of "moot".

What is a mute point? Was it born that way? Did someone hurt it? Why can't it talk?

A mute point: to turn the sound off so the argument can no longer be expressed.

"I can no longer hear you, so it's a mute point"

As a lawyer this one gags me.

It is, of course, a moo point.
