I don't blame him for taking the money from the gambling sites, if he didn't someone else would have. I think his biggest scandals where his mom and wife (separate games) swung their purses at players roughing up Wayne over the boards back when the glass was shorter 😂 Aparently he politely called Michael Jordan was cheap in Vegas and told him to tip much more. So the gambling stuff isn't great, but he and his dad are great.
To go a step further, Mike Magic Johnson, TSN colour commentator, actually goes through the numbers just before a game starts. Cabbie has done stats for gambling as well. You see on social media, people talking about the the bets they placed for this to happen or that to happen. It's not Sports Select anymore. (Canadian sports betting tickets you get at places that sell lottery tickets and mark down whatever). Oh and Georges St. Pierre, Mats Sundin, and others have done commercials for gambling apps. It's a million or billion dollar business.
5:19 i agree with that. Hell the NFL always does this "We have Zero Tolerance for Violent crimes" BS. Yet a few players have recently got in trouble with the law for Domestic Abuse, and are still on their teams. One was actually caught on camera knocking his fiancé out.
For more on the Mike Danton saga check out The Fifth Estate. A Canadian new program similar to 60 Minutes. They did 2 programs on the Danton -Frost story. One was called “Rogue Agent”. Don’t remember name of second. And Adam you’re right: Frost was sketchy.
I'm not defending Mailloux's actions (because he's actually matured considerably since then) but what Mitchell Miller did (I really can't say it here on RUclips) was so much worse and he NEVER apologized 😬
@@grahamdamberger7130 Marc Bergevin was a dipshit for drafting him when he specifically said he didn't want to be. Bergevin got canned not long after. The irony.
There is no policy saying you can't say it. You just don't go into specifics of what he actually did. Just Google it. Throughout school, Mitchell Miller extreme bullied a disabled black student. The Bruins should have known that there was going to be a backlash for signing him. That's why they rescinded the signing. If they didn't sign him, they wouldn't have needed to do damage control and rescind it.
@@grahamdamberger7130yeah exactly, Mailloux at least has the desire to better himself. Miller just wants everything to disappear asap so he can pretend it never happened
7:18 Apparently, the Arizona Coyotes fiasco is getting so bad the NHL Board of Governors is thinking about stepping in and forcing a move, regardless of what Bettman wants.
What can the NHL actually do? I am actually curious and do not know. Is the franchise locked to the owner until he sells it? Can the NHL force the owner to sell? Can the NHL kick out the franchise if the owner does not agree? It has been talk about a franchise in Utah lately, maybe they can force Coyotes to move there?
1) The original video says at 0:48 that Tocchet received probation. 2) The sexual abuse of Kyle Beach is only part of the story, much of which is inexcusable. The perpetrator was assistant coach Brad Aldrich. He likely targeted Beach because he did not have a spot with the NHL club, and therefore would be less likely to complain. When Beach did report the incident to the Blackhawks, who were weeks away from winning their first Stanley Cup in 59 years, they declined to contact the police. Beach said some Blackhawks players harassed him with anti-homosexual slurs, and that the team leaders, including Patrick Kane, did not stop it (he did not specify which players harassed him). Brad Aldrich at minimum should have been fired, but he wasn't, possibly in part because his father was a respected long-time NHL employee. Instead, Aldrich got his name engraved on the Stanley Cup (since removed), was allowed to quit, and possibly got a recommendation from the Blackhawks. Brad Aldrich subsequently worked at a university and then a high school, where he molested at least one boy and was convicted for it. The Blackhawks got to celebrate 3 Cup victories in 5 years [EDIT: 6 seasons -- 2010-2015]. As for Kyle Beach, he never played in the NHL. He has played in the North American minor leagues and in European leagues, all while dealing with mental illness from the trauma. 3) At 6:26, the Arizona Coyotes were evicted from their home arena because their billionaire owner chose to not pay the team's rent!
It was 3 cups in 6 years (2010, 2013, 2015). But regardless, that dynasty that Chicago built is now one in disgrace because upper management did nothing when a s** crime was committed by a member of the coaching staff back in 2010. Not only did they ruin the lives of two young prospects, but giving a s** offender letters of recommendation? That's just asking for more lives to be ruined, and that's what happened with the then 16 year old during Aldrich's time as a high school coach.
I know Mike Danton personally. He's paid his dues and is now one of the nicest guys you ever want to meet. He runs a successful hockey school and has a Masters from a solid university. My wife and I are family friends with Mike and his lovely family.
The therapy thing is so they have a metric to mark the growth and give him a way to understand why what he did was s*****, but it's mainly so they can say, "Hey, we tried with this guy," when he does it again. I also don't strictly agree that everyone knows what's right and wrong at 17 just because folks are from different places with different standards, but I definitely agree with the spirit of your opinion. When you're a literal rapist, we don't need you being a role model or a figure kids look up to, whether you want them to or not.
The Chicago SA scandal was insane. Short version of it, The video coach at the time was saying shit like, “hey if you blow me ill tell the head coach that youve been looking good in the training videos and to give you more ice time.” And the organization did nothing cause they were on a tear of winning the Cup repeatedly. And didnt want to derail that. Even crazier is the video coach then applied to a high school coaching job and the Blackhawks recommended and referenced him and he got the job.
Let's not leave out that the high school coaching job was in Michigan and he did predatory stuff which got him registered in Michigan. It was said that Brad Aldrich's name would be taken off the Stanley Cup.
the thing about the Canadiens drafting Mallioux that makes it even more of a scandal. Mallioux was already removed from the pool, so how the hell did the Habs still draft him?
People praised Marc Bergevin for how he was as a person or whatever. But he's a dipshit for drafting Logan Mailloux anyways. Bergevin got canned not long after. The irony. The league met with Mailloux and came to the decision that he can be in the NHL now. Let's see the what happens and if he actually does get to step foot on the ice in a game. At this point, I can't see him any where then the minors.
Logan Mailloux was a kid who made a stupid mistake, and he owned up to it. He said that he was not mature enough to be drafted. He took himself out of the draft. I think he has learned his lesson.
-Logan Mailloux participated in the Canadiens' respect and consent program. Some have said that he deserves to be given a chance. Many have said he's matured, but it remains to be seen. I hope he has.
The whole Mike Danton story is dark and bizarre and truly fucked up. There's various videos that really goe into all the nitty gritty. It gets so much worse that what they covered here. If you can stomach it, I do highly recommend watching one.
@@Camo9nine9 That was as a player. I'm referring to his upbringing. *SPOILERS* His Father beat his Mother one night and was arrested. After posting bail instead of hanging around NJ for his court date/probation. The 3 of them fled to California and changed their last name from Stevenson (The Father's last name) to Ryan. (The Mother's Maiden name) They were successfully living in CA until one day his father accidentally used his old credit card which tipped off authorities and he was arrested. Bobby kept his "fake" name when he went up to Canada for Junior and then into the NHL.
Yeah, 2 players just asked for a leave of absence from their NHL clubs in a span of between 24 and 48 hours. Both were part of the 2018 Canadian world junior team that's under investigation, which leads to speculation on whether they were involved in the scandal being investigated or not.
Fun little can of worms to open up, based off some of the controversies (particularly the sexual one involving the Montreal draft pick) I agree with certain points of both sides. On the one hand, he commuted a crime, and a pretty horrible crime at that. I also agree that an 18 year has the ability to become a good version of himself. I can’t say I have any respect for Mailleux at all, but I’m a firm believer in the human ability to change and atone. I actually believe that him personally requesting to be excluded from the draft is evidence in my mind that he holds a lot of regret and doesn’t want past evils to shape his future. Again, I don’t like the kid at all for what he did, but somebody that young has all the potential in the world to transition from a shitty kid into a responsible adult who is able to take accountability and understand how damaging just one action can be to another human.

Gretzky is doing commercials now for a gambling app. Every other commercial now is for a gambling app during hockey games.

Rick Tocchet is now coaching the Vancouver Canucks, who are ranked first in the entire league 👀

There was an NFL GM at the combine who was quoted saying “if Jeffrey Dahmer ran a 4.3 40 we’d describe him as having an unusual diet”
It's disturbing how serial rapists like Darren Sharper are allowed into the Pro Football Hall of Fame.
I would like science to take a look inside Tibbett’s brain when he passes. It would be interesting to see if he has any sort of CTE. 4:25

At least Mailloux had the guts to ask teams not to draft him following that investigation.
What a brain absent comment. They're both awful in their own way. What you said is like trying to compare Pearl Harbor to 9/11.
