This was an inside joke between Matthew and I.

I hope the Calgary Flames address the fact that they used mental health as an excuse to cover for Dillon Dube.
A whole three days of cover for Dube was not worth it for the inevitable damage it now causes other players, and people, who need mental help.
Four NHLers – Carter Hart, Michael McLeod, Dillon Dube & Cal Foote – have been directed to surrender to London police to be charged with sexual assault in connection with an alleged incident that occurred during a 2018 Hockey Canada event.

I feel so bad for the folks at the New Jersey State Police because they are getting inundated with calls just because someone decided to try to report something first despite having zero evidence.
This is why journalistic integrity is important.
Spoke with the New Jersey State Police and was informed they are getting bombarded with phone calls and cannot release any information at this time.
Basically they can not confirm or deny the rumor that Johnny Gaudreau has passed.
