@MikeStryk @Jake4463113798 @_Boltergeist_ I'm not saying you're right or wrong, and I don't think you're saying I'm right or wrong either, I just want to understand the reasoning why yourself and so many TBL fans are so skeptical of something that on the surface should be so simple and acceptable.

@MikeStryk @Jake4463113798 @_Boltergeist_ I get what you're saying, I'm just trying to question or understand why you think he's done something he shouldn't have? If your claims are substantiated by something, then fair dues, but I won't agree with you until I see it.

Talking to a therapist led to him needing to take off *months* from his responsibilities. He was with her for 4 years and he got worse, not better. In no way is this a success story or something anybody should want to emulate- and it doesn't make you a bad person for noticing.
Benjamin Pierce@BenjaminJReport

#GoBolts captain Victor Hedman says he feels good to go again. Talking to a therapist was a big help for him. “Reach out for help. It’s important. Obviously this game has given me a lot in life. At the end of the day there’s gonna be a life after hockey, too, and just don't stick with your thoughts. There’s a lot of people out there that you know can help you, and that's what I found out. It’s never too late either. The mental part is just as important, if not more important, than the physical part. This game has given me everything, but it takes a toll on you as well, so just don't sit around with your thoughts by yourself. Just reach out and get the help you need.”

@MikeStryk @Jake4463113798 @_Boltergeist_ I know this is Twitter, I know no-one here gives two flying fucks, but saying "he's done something wrong" is something that, in a perfect world, no-one should be saying unless there's evidence. If VH reads the statement's replies, he wouldn't ever want to come back to that.

@MikeStryk @Jake4463113798 @_Boltergeist_ It's broad enough we shouldn't be reading into it like we are. The initial reaction should be like, "You were struggling, hope you're okay and took good care," and if anything else comes out, we deal with it. We risk making mental health a taboo again, which it should never be.

@Jake4463113798 @MikeStryk @_Boltergeist_ And that setting the example by taking yourself out while as Captain is a precedent you SHOULD be setting and one that should keep you with the letter. I can understand if it's constant enough or for a really extensive period, like if he took a full 84gm season, but even then...

@MikeStryk @slapshotcomrade @_Boltergeist_ Stripping someone of a captaincy for seeking help for their mental health sends exactly, and only, the message that you are punishing for doing so. There is no other interpretation for this action.

@MikeStryk @_Boltergeist_ ...which leads to never seeking treatment, which then leads to dire consequences. We really need to be careful about what we're promoting and what precedents we're setting. Because if this is what Hedman is subjected to for having poor mental health... doesn't paint a good pic.

@MikeStryk @_Boltergeist_ I know he wasn't suicidal, but your statement was that if a Captain, non-specific, has to take months of mental health break, he should be stripped. Not specific to Hedman. I'm trying to point out that being punished for poor mental health will only lead to playing through it...

@HenrikN79044092 @brando90210 @_Boltergeist_ That's what happens when you have an employer that actually cares about you. Which most of us don't have. It's up to us to question why we don't get what Victor Hedman does, not to blame and target Victor Hedman because he's receiving the treatment he needs.

@PrimeRyanSmyth @_Boltergeist_ He has also had 22 injuries in his career that we know about, and a personal life none of us can see, nor should we want to see. The most successful people have still put bullets in their heads or intentionally overdosed. Depression doesn't discriminate, so what's your point?

@MikeStryk @_Boltergeist_ I know you won't change your mind. But here's a list of NHL and other hockey players that have taken their own lives due to mental health issues and/or substance abuse. Nothing to joke about. Or punish. What has to happen for us to take this seriously? pucksupport.com/hockey-player-…

@_Boltergeist_ Id take it a step further and remove the C from him. If you need to leave for months due to MH, fine..do what you need to do. But that's not going to fly for the Cpt of a friggin NHL team, nevermind one going for the cup. Personally I hope his time in Tampa is finished.

@fatparoon @moikemoike5 @_Boltergeist_ It mitigates it but in order to truly "fix" your mental health you need something long-term, a therapist that you can work through every nook and cranny with. Wade Belak was on happy pills, and Rick Rypien took several breaks from the NHL and both still took their own livesm

The first game of former convicted rapist Ben Johnson's tour will be tonight in Buffalo. In 2016, Ben Johnson was convicted for raping a 16-year old girl until she bled. She was unconscious with "her eyes rolled to the back of her head."

PuckEmpire@puckempire

Convicted r*pist and former professional hockey player and NHL draft pick Ben Johnson says he will be "going across America and preaching the gospel" at NHL arenas during the playoffs. In 2013, Johnson forced a 16-year old to perform oral sex in a bathroom stall while she was intoxicated before he raped her, causing vaginal bleeding. Keep this rapist away from minors & women, @nhl!

MLSE employs a former NHL AGM with 2 Stanley Cup rings, history working in Canes analytics environment with great draft history as a scout prior to AGM job. He didn’t get an interview for Leafs GM job. How extensive was this search if such a candidate was not even considered?

@tavkniesnythews I'm very much on the fence with this. There is a much better chance he goes back to 6 goals and 28 assists Raddysh then what he was this season
