That piece of theater led me to this. Yeesh.
TIL Del Zotto has no chill.
I've heard of about half of these. Kave said it best that the league has a dark underbelly.
That spreadsheet is wow.
I don't know if Dany Heatley in any other league would have gone on to have such a long career afterwards for instance. The NHL (as with every other sports league) has a really dark underbelly, only difference is the NHL one seems to be brushed to the side a lot easier by the public.
I'd like to think people are less forgiving these days of athletes, but they definitely don't get the attention that other athletes in different leagues get.
I feel like Evander Kane's antics in Winnipeg got more attention than most of those accounts on the spreadsheet.
