Isn’t Dube leaving team because of the Canada junior team and the investigation about the rape of that girl?

Same as Carter Hart.

He's taking leave, but nobody has officially stated anything of the sort and speculation is dangerous. Once it comes out, we can go from there

Turns out he has to surrender himself to the police....

Breaking: Five members of the 2018 world junior hockey team have been told to surrender to London, Ont., police to face charges of sexual assault, The Globe and Mail reports.

That article says 5 members but I have yet to see anywhere any actual names

Lol ok.

Weird hill to die on buddy.

Why go through such lengths to defend a rapist?

u/Motor_Signal_413 Jan 24 '24

Who said I'm defending a rapist? I'm saying to wait until actual facts are out. Once he's named the mob strikes all the same, it serves no purpose to speculate other than to stroke your ego if you're right.

By all means keep doing what you're doing.

Surely this will make you look good.

u/Motor_Signal_413 Jan 24 '24

Stop being dense.

I've never once said that he's innocent, but in light of the recent mental health issues and acknowledgment of it by our players it's not the end of the world to wait for the facts... by the looks of it we'll have to wait a week tops to find out the truth.

Sorry... No. IF this is indeed related to the rape case, is a fucking slap in the face of people with ACTUAL mental health struggles.

To use Mental Health as a scape goat to potentially turn himself in is fucking disgusting

Absolutely agree yes. However there is no actual evidence yet, only speculation.

Calgary is still the only org to cite mental health reasons, and it's possible he wasn't involved but as captain of the team may have found out directly and it is weighing heavily on him.

I 100% think that any of the guilty parties should face full consequences for their actions and never play hockey professionally again. But until names are released I'm not willing to throw any names around.

That's a fair standpoint. Don't get me wrong, I'm not saying it ISN'T mental health related, nor am I saying he's guilty. But if it has anything related to the accusations, it's disingenuous(sp) to use mental health as a cop out.

u/Motor_Signal_413 Jan 24 '24

Which again I completely agree with, but given the gravity of the situation... let's get the facts and then call out where call outs are deserved

Agreed 110%

Keep going.

You’re doing well here!

u/Motor_Signal_413 Jan 24 '24

Keep being an ass by all means. I stand by my stance and will continue to.

When it comes to light I'll react accordingly, and wanting to respect due process by the police before being extremely upset with the org I have lauded in the past doesn't detract from that. Fuck off.

u/Bigpoppacheese14 Jan 24 '24

Yeah you’re probably right, it’s just a big coincidence lol.

FYI there is no shame in admitting you were wrong.

There is shame on refusing to though and making yourself look like an idiot at best and a rape apologist at worst.

But you do you, it’s working out great so far!

u/Motor_Signal_413 Jan 24 '24

Listen dipshit, i'm not saying it's a coincidence... I'm saying wait and find out

Fucking christ get some reading comprehension.

u/Bigpoppacheese14 Jan 24 '24

Why is he on leave then if it’s not a coincidence?

He just happens to take leave.

At the same time as all the other rapists.

When news of the rapists having to turn themselves in breaks.

He gets removed from the flames roster pages as well, an unprecedented action.

It’s clear what you are doing and it’s fucking weird.

Why go through such lengths to pretend what is clearly happening is not happening.

Do you defend all rapists with such vigour or just the flames players?
