from Rick Westhead of TSN,
An American think tank that studies child sexual abuse and prevention is asking the U.S. Olympic & Paralympic Committee (USPOC) to suspend Stan Bowman from his position as general manager of the U.S. Olympic men’s hockey team while he faces allegations that he helped cover up the sexual abuse of two Chicago Blackhawks players.
In a Sept. 10 letter to USPOC chief executive Sarah Hirshland, Marci Hamilton, founder of the advocacy group Child USA, wrote that Bowman, who is also the current GM of the Blackhawks, should be suspended by USA Hockey.
“I write to you today to request the suspension of Stan Bowman from his position as general manager of the U.S. Olympic men’s hockey team and that an independent investigation into Bowman’s behavior in his role as general manager of hockey operations of the Blackhawks NHL team be conducted,” Hamilton wrote.

From Sportsnet: San Jose Sharks If you look at the NHL 30 years ago, you’d never question if it’s gotten better since, at least not in talent and speed and the depth of the league. Same for 20 years ago, and 10. The league gets better every year by some small percentage, whatever you think that number is. And so, you have to improve by that much each off-season to even keep pace. How are the Sharks going to be better this year, exactly? The bulk of their cap hit goes to their aging defence corps in Erik Karlsson, Brent Burns and Marc-Edouard Vlasic. Their mileage hasn’t gone down. Their captain, Logan Couture, is 32 and unlikely to get better. Up front they’ve added very little (Andrew Cogliano will be on the fourth line now), and they may well lose their leading scorer in the Evander Kane, almost certainly for nothing. They tagged in James Reimer to play net, which, OK, sure. I just can’t see how this team is better this season, and maybe that’s become the plan here? www.sportsnet.ca/nhl/article/three-three-predicting-direction-six-nhl-teams/ |

via the NHL PR department,
For the first time since 2004, the National Hockey League (NHL) returns to The Walt Disney Company. ESPN’s industry-leading collection of television and direct-to-consumer streaming platforms will showcase the world’s best hockey beginning with a season-opening doubleheader on October 12. The 2021-2022 season will showcase 103 exclusive regular season games across ESPN, ESPN+, Hulu and ABC. In addition, more than 1,000 out-of-market games will be available on ESPN+.
Beginning October 12, ESPN, ESPN+ and Hulu become the destination for Tuesday night hockey throughout the regular season. ESPN+ and Hulu will also showcase an exclusive game every Friday night until January, then every Thursday night for the remainder of the regular season. ABC will regularly carry Saturday games beginning in February.
NHL FACEOFF
The 2021 NHL FaceOff will feature a doubleheader matchup on ESPN with the early game showcasing the Pittsburgh Penguins against the two-time defending Stanley Cup Champion Tampa Bay Lightning at 7:30 p.m. ET, followed by the Seattle Kraken’s franchise debut against the Vegas Golden Knights at 10 p.m. ET. Both matchups will be simulcast on ESPN+.
ESPN+ AND HULU
Opening week on ESPN+ will feature the Minnesota Wild taking on the Anaheim Ducks on Friday, October 15. Momentum continues into the second week of the season beginning Tuesday, October 19, when the Colorado Avalanche and former first overall pick Nathan MacKinnon travel to the nation’s capital to take on Alex Ovechkin and the Washington Capitals. On Friday, October 22, the Boston Bruins will travel to Buffalo to take on the Sabres in a divisional matchup. A historic Saturday night in Seattle caps off the second week of the regular season on ESPN+ and Hulu when the Seattle Kraken take the ice in Climate Pledge Arena for the first time in franchise history against their border rivals, the Vancouver Canucks on Saturday, October 23.
Each Tuesday in 2021, October 19 through December 28, ESPN+ will host at least one exclusive matchup with highlights including the Tampa Bay Lightning versus the St. Louis Blues on November 30, the New York Rangers versus the Colorado Avalanche on December 14, the Washington Capitals versus the Philadelphia Flyers on December 21 and the 2021 Stanley Cup Final rematch between the Montreal Canadiens and the Tampa Bay Lightning on December 28.
Additional Friday game highlights include the Colorado Avalanche versus the Seattle Kraken on November 19, the New York Rangers versus the Boston Bruins on November 26 and a Sidney Crosby-Alex Ovechkin matchup on December 10 between the Pittsburgh Penguins and Washington Capitals.
ESPN+ continues its premier slate in 2022 with Tuesday and Thursday night matchups through the remainder of the 2021-22 regular season. Highlights include: Colorado Avalanche at Chicago Blackhawks on Tuesday, January 4, Pittsburgh Penguins at Philadelphia Flyers on Thursday, January 6, Washington Capitals at Boston Bruins on Thursday, January 20, Minnesota Wild at Detroit Red Wings on Tuesday, March 8, and the new-look Florida Panthers with Joe Thornton take on the San Jose Sharks on March 15 as Thornton returns to San Jose after spending 15 seasons as a Shark. In a Thursday night doubleheader on March 24, the St. Louis Blues host the Philadelphia Flyers, followed by the Chicago Blackhawks taking on the Los Angeles Kings at the STAPLES Center.
In April, ESPN+ will feature the following match ups: Pittsburgh Penguins at New York Rangers on Thursday, April 7, the Boston Bruins at St. Louis Blues on Tuesday, April 19, the Philadelphia Flyers at Chicago Blackhawks on Monday, April 25, as the only NHL game that day, and a Connor McDavid-Sidney Crosby showdown between the Edmonton Oilers and Pittsburgh Penguins on Tuesday, April 26. The final game of the ESPN+ schedule will feature the two-time defending Stanley Cup Champion Tampa Bay Lightning taking on the New York Islanders on Thursday, April 28, in a rematch of the 2021 Stanley Cup Semifinals.
Additionally, ESPN+ will stream more than 1,000 out-of-market games, all as part of an ESPN+ subscription.

He had shown that maybe he was turning a new leaf and taking responsibility for his actions (people can change right?) but the bit he there in there about how he is a black man in a white game threw it all down the shitter. Nobody fucking cares about the skin color, how about try and not be a piece of shit human being? Just looking for any excuse at this point to deflect. |

I haven’t watched this and don’t plan to watch it. Does anyone really think they’ll learn anything about him or his situation from this? He had shown that maybe he was turning a new leaf and taking responsibility for his actions (people can change right?) but the bit he there in there about how he is a black man in a white game threw it all down the shitter. Nobody fucking cares about the skin color, how about try and not be a piece of shit human being? Just looking for any excuse at this point to deflect. Your last sentence would make many think that he has not taken responsibility and he is not turning over a new leaf. |

Your last sentence would make many think that he has not taken responsibility and he is not turning over a new leaf. He destroyed an otherwise okay-ish interview with the last part. I'd say the foreshadowing is the NHL is going to find nothing on his betting on his own games etc. |

Don't get me wrong I was already highly skeptical going into that interview, but thought hey, maybe he really is trying to do the right thing. Between a divorce and the rumor his teammates don't want him back, he supposedly stopped gambling etc. maybe he can turn it around. Then bam... race card. Fucking joke. |

I'd say the foreshadowing is the NHL is going to find nothing on his betting on his own games etc. There could be video, pay sheets, witnesses…none of that would matter. The NHL is never going to come out and say a black player was gambling/betting on his own team. |
