I’m grateful to have the support of everyone at @hometownhockey_ who encouraged me say what was in my heart last night.

NHLPA board approves review of Kyle Beach’s 2010 allegationshttps://t.co/HUktivNDGR

Kyle Beach: NHLPA Dr. Brian Shaw “told me he would handle it and make sure that Team USA was aware that Brad Aldrich is a sexual predator. After that one conversation, the NHLPA cut me loose. I never heard from them again.” https://t.co/LzgjEin2lB

USA Hockey did not respond to a question about why the federation did not contact families to warn them after Aldrich was convicted of sexually assaulting a teenager in 2014.

* Wallenstein: Toews & Kane Must Go.
Shawn Lalonde: “the whole team knew”
Brent Sopel: “every Blackhawks player knew”
Nick Boynton: “everybody on the team knew”
Don’t ever let Jonathan Toews, Patrick Kane, Duncan Keith, Joel Quenneville off the hook.

Matt Nagy was at a hotel. This concludes a long and extensive and unnecessary investigation.

31:42: The Rodgers Rate.
Packers QB Aaron Rodgers reveals he’s unvaccinated, says he took advice from Joe Rogan, and is taking ivermectin. https://t.co/1nxYSI0gt1
— NBC News (@NBCNews) November 5, 2021
* Clarification: Rodgers: Braun Lied To Me.
OK but when Aaron Rodgers said, “Yeah, I’ve been immunized,” reporters should have said, “Wait, what do you mean you’ve been *immunized*?”
(And the NFL has reportedly considered Rodgers to be *unvaccinated* all along.)

39:25: At Least The Bears Are Consistent.
* Fishbain & Jahns, The Athletic: “A 3-5 start to the season has been the norm for the Bears in the post-Lovie Smith era. This is the fifth time in nine seasons that they’ve won exactly three of their first eight games. Only one Bears team since 1990 started 3-5 and got back to .500 – the 2019 team that finished 8-8.
“That’s not a good omen. And this team could lose an extra game, with the season now 17 games long. Only two of the 27 teams to start 3-5 over the past five seasons have made the postseason.”

57:40: Rambler Women Make History.
* Bier, Loyola Phoenix: “In a historic match, the Loyola women’s soccer team (11-2-2, 7-0-1) became the first team in MVC history to win four straight Missouri Valley Conference (MVC) regular season titles with its 5-0 win against Valparaiso University (10-5-2, 6-1-1) Oct. 28.
“Both Loyola and Valparaiso entered the game with a 6-0-1 record in the conference, with the MVC regular season title up for grabs. As close as the teams were in the conference standings, Loyola distinguished itself as the clear leader of the MVC by beating its second-place rival by a five-goal difference.”

Never been a fan of Northwestern’s announcer saying “Move. Those. Chains.” on every first down. Just sounds super tacky.
