All dem good ol white boys better get called out and kicked to the curb. I don't care who they are. Time to clean house and get with the times.
Wouldn't surprise me if it's a little bit of both and that different parts of the Flames are on different stages of the inevitable process.
It's so sad that this took almost 10 years to come to light because Aliu was afraid of retaliation. He got retaliated against anyway and still says he would forgive Peters. I couldn't do that. Good for him for making peace with it and I hope Peters never works in the NHL again.
This. All this garbage has gone on for way longer than it should have.
100%.
I bet guys like Subban and Byfuglien got some shit to air out.
Reporters are already in that guy's replies. I want to know more about this. How long has this abuse been going on?
Oh wow Daniel Carcillo. That's a name I haven't heard in a while. Hockey as a sport has a lot of work to do. It's always been an all-white boys club and now we are aware of some of the abuse that's been going on.
You can bet your ass Michel Therrien will get named dropped for his shitty behavior, for one.
I was hoping this would be an eye opener for racism in hockey and it would be addressed. It seems it's just shifting towards general abuse by coaches which of course is important too, but I'm worried the criticism on racism in the sport will fall to the background.
yeah it's good that these abusers are finally getting named. It's about time the nhl got progressive but the culture around the game/the media etc are what let it last this long in the 1st place.
hfboards feels like all the asshole fans @ games that scream profanities at coaches/players/refs distilled down into a single forum.
Honestly this seems like it is getting the discussion started. The more and more people come out about abuse of any kind and the accused are held accountable, the more likely we can truly chip away at issues like racism and sexism. I think pointing out physical abuse is a kick back against the "boys will be boys"/"it's just a joke"/initiation culture in hockey and if the community at large can recognize that is not OK, I hope we can extrapolate that further. The league can't have a slogan of Hockey is for Everyone without cleaning out the problems that don't make it for everyone in the first place.
I hope so, anyways. I and others have been waiting years for this moment to even start.

I die laughing every time one of those dudes unironically claim that racism is dead and buried.
Big time. I can only imagine how deep this goes, but I bet it isn't going to go deep enough.
Dan Carcillo is a good guy. Big advocate for mental health and hockey's myriad deficiencies in that department. And I'll never forget him being a complete dick to the Philly fans in the 2014 playoffs. Something we can all appreciate.
Oh yeah, we all can appreciate that! I remember his oped on mental illness and drug use in the NHL. That was eye opening. Glad to know he's still out here fighting.
So they can do nothing about it? Fuck the NHLPA.
Can we also finally get rid of hazing? Absolute bullshit that Aliu is labeled as a troublemaker because he didn't want to be subjected to that shit. I'm sure his skin colour has nothing to do with that label either.
Air all of the dirty laundry, only way the culture changes unfortunately.

Doesn't matter, cat is out of the bag now. Journalists and bloggers gunna be all over this, any player (esp former) is just going to go right to the Internet if they have a story.
