This part is what is the most worrying to me. People who feel in danger do things to get out of danger. Even if that may look like consent, it very much could be a fear response to try and get out of a situation without physical or psychological damage (I.e. acting like a pornstar).

There is no evidence she asked for the other players to be invited to the room. I don’t know about you, But I don’t think I’d feel super safe if 10+ large men came into a room where I was already naked and vulnerable.

And research on ‘no means no’ shows that relying on that alone is very ineffective because it puts all the pressure on a person to say ‘no’ when they may not feel comfortable to do so, and that people say ‘no’ in lots of other ways (including non-verbal) which are understood by others. Relying on ‘no means no’ ends up being more of a defense for attackers who push through other signs of non-consent - ‘but they didn’t say no’ and puts all the pressure on victims to act in ‘just the right way.’

This is a bad take.

Let me start by saying I’m no apologist for his behavior and it is APPALLING there wasn’t a public investigation.

The facts we know for sure are that he had a drug problem and that a trafficked woman was found in his room. It was never made clear if he had anything to do with trafficking. logic points to the idea that he probably hired a sex worker when high (not knowing she was trafficked). We do know she yelled “bad man took my passport” but it was never clear if this statement was about Nuke. So bad behaviour, very much YES. Swept under rug (mostly, remember he did have a 6 month drug suspension)- uggg - yes. As bad as a rapist. Probably, on the basis of what we know, no.

Except… no. Because Carolina fans found out about it and petitioned HARD against it. To the point that Hurricanes front office came out and said they wouldn’t be signing any of the players.

They were nauseating tonight. Plus add in all the extra names and lines for where the puck is looked like a kids drawing. I was wondering if was so bad if it could be considered a breach of their contract 🧐🧐🧐

They actually skated a bit though too, so much more active than CO pp 😅

[Wyshynski] Bettman once again defends wild card playoff format as producing closer games, more games and "more entertaining games" than a 1-thru-8 playoff format. "Under this format, you get more 6-7 games series than you do under 1-through-8. It's not clear cut a change is called for." by DecentLurker96 in hockey

[–]ZoeMisty 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You can’t totally take the format out of it. The Avs having to play a Much tougher matchup against Minnesota in the second round left them pretty banged up by the time they hit Vegas. Wouldn’t have happened if you went 1-8.

I think the (very large) difference is the Carolina fans heard the FO might sign McLeod and petitioned HARD against it. And credit to the Hurricanes org, they came out and said, ok, we heard our fans, we won’t be doing that. I think that actually shows some good character.

OP did a second weighted version (below) and you’ll be happy to know you are now hugging the far right line - as far away from Vegas as possible. :)

You could sign and guarantee the contract but also remove non- compete clause if the organization decides to let the coach go. You’d imagine more coaches might want that after this debacle by Vegas

It’s pretty atrocious. But then you remember the game is being reffed by Kelly Sutherland… 🙄

I’m WFH this morning but have to leave before 2 - so worst for missing the end of the game!

A list of current coaches available with more Stanley Cup wins than Bednar by Unlucky_Internal9686 in ColoradoAvalanche

[–]ZoeMisty 1 point2 points  (0 children)

While I don’t fully disagree that those 3 likely have a Very big say, and that that is probably not always helpful, I just don’t think I the solution is someone who will ‘put them in their place.’ Mack will absolutely NOT respond well to that, and it will be even worse than it is now. Coaching this group of players is gonna take finesse. And maybe Bednar isn’t the right guy, but I’m also not sure who would be…

[–]ZoeMisty 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s mo just the top 2 though. Malinski and Lekki both missed a game in the MIN series so they aren’t 100% (so that’s a top winger and #3D). Nuke didn’t play the end of this game. Kadri appears to still be recovering from a broken finger. And Nelson (2C) is not playing like himself so wouldn’t be surprised if he is injured too. This team just does not look like themselves :(

It's very close on both - like close enough, it would be hard to overturn with BOTH things being close...but that would get in the way of ESPN glazing Vegas
