“You know, I’ve been in this business long enough — and I’ve never seen anything so blatantly one-sided. When a player goes after the puck, you can tell right away. But when he goes after a man — that’s a choice. That hit? It was intentional. No doubt about it.Don’t sit there and tell me otherwise. Because we all saw what came after that hit — the taunts, the smirks, the showboating. That’s the real language of the ice.I’m not here to drag anyone’s name through the mud — believe me, everyone in this room knows exactly who I’m talking about. But let me speak plainly to the NHL: these imaginary boundaries, these timid whistles, these special shields for certain teams — we see them. You preach fairness and integrity, yet every week we watch you look the other way while dirty hits get excused as “just incidental contact.”If this is what professional hockey has devolved into — if the so-called “standards” you talk about are nothing but empty optics — then you’ve failed the game. And I refuse to stand by while my team gets trampled under rules you don’t even bother to enforce.” Read more ⤵️

“You know, I’ve been in this profession long enough to understand that losing is part of hockey — but losing like this is something I cannot accept.” “We lost to the Sabres 1–5, but the score doesn’t tell the whole story. I’ve never seen a game so blatantly one-sided. When a player goes after the puck, you can tell right away. But when he goes after the opponent — that’s a choice, not an accident. That hit today? It was intentional, 100%. Don’t sit there and tell me it was just a ‘fluke collision.’ We all saw what happened afterward — the mocking gestures, the taunting, the arrogant attitude. That’s not hockey. That’s a lack of respect for the game and for the opponent.” “I’m not here to slander anyone — but everyone knows who I’m talking about. And let me be clear to the NHL: the missed calls, the hesitant whistle, the ‘special protections’ for certain players — we all see it. You preach fairness and integrity, but game after game, we see you turn a blind eye to dirty hits and then justify it as just ‘part of the game.'” “If this is what professional hockey has become — if the so-called ‘standards’ you always talk about are just an empty shell of enforcement, then you’ve betrayed the very game itself. And let me make it clear: I won’t stand by while my team is trampled under rules you don’t have the courage to enforce.” Full story below👇👇👇

“You know, I’ve been in this profession long enough to understand that losing is part of football — but losing like this is something I can’t accept.” “We lost to the Denver Broncos with a score of 19–22, but that score doesn’t tell the whole story. I’ve never seen a game where the bias was so clear. When a player charges at the ball, you can recognize it immediately. But when he charges at a person — that’s a choice, not an accident. That hit today? It was intentional, 100%. Don’t sit there and tell me it was just a ‘fluke collision.’ We all saw what happened afterward — the smug smiles, the taunts, the arrogance. That’s not football. That’s a lack of respect for the game and the opponent.” “I’m not here to slander anyone — but everyone knows who I’m talking about. And let me make it clear to the NFL: these imaginary boundaries, these timid whistles, these ‘special shields’ for certain teams — we all see it. You preach fairness and integrity, but week after week, we see you turn a blind eye to dirty hits, then justify it as ‘part of the game.'” “If this is what football has become — if these so-called ‘standards’ you always talk about are just an empty shell, then you’ve betrayed the very game itself. And let me make it clear: I will not stand by while my team is trampled under rules that even you lack the courage to enforce.” Details 👇👇
