  1. >*“I want to be able to step away from the game having said that I’ve given it my all.”*

    Here’s hoping you do that this season, bud. We’re rooting for you.

  2. Wild journey and power to him! I hope that he can recapture his game and help elevate his hometown Jets. It would be a great story for the league.

    Side note, his journey sounds so much more legit than Rodgers Ayahuasca retreat lol  

  3. This is the same captain that allowed bullying and harassment of Beach? Im not sure why everyone is happy that he’s back in the NHL.

    “Because the comments were made in the locker room, they were made on the ice, they were made around the arena with all different people of all different backgrounds — players, staff, media in the presence,” Beach

  4. The article about that retreat in India is insane. I urge everyone to read it.

    Good luck Captain! We miss you in Chicago but wish you nothing but the best

  5. Oh to be so wealthy you get to travel for “healing”.
    Best of luck to him, he’s a great dude – coming from a flyers fan. Just a sore reminder of life’s parameters.

  6. If Winnipeg can get even 50% of is previous potential it will be a huge win for that already stacked team

  7. ugh great now i’m gonna have to see constant glazing of him, i truly could not care less about him or his career. anyone willing to turn a blind eye to sexual abuse happening in their organization is not someone who deserves to be welcomed back with open arms.

    all the journalists who promised to do better are now gonna be kissing his ass every second of every day

  8. I hope he’s healthy and happy. 

    The timing of his absence with the Kyle Beach/Blackhawks sexual abuse stuff was always a little curious to me. I have never believed how few players supposedly knew there was shady shit going on and Toews as the captain. If anyone knew anything, then he knew as well. 

    Hopefully I’m wrong and that was as much of a single bad actor as presented, not a locker room full of guys staying quiet when some bad shit was happening. If that’s not the case, I hope some of his time was spent evaluating his role as a teammate and leader too.
