The whole thing stinks to high Heaven.
Why wouldn't this Lead Counsel dig into the mother's story more thoroughly before calling a national news conference?

If this brown bag turns out to be a hoax orchestrated by the victim's mom, there's no way a conviction or civil case can be won.
And that'll be a shame if the victim was actually assaulted.

District Attorney is not happy, and I don't blame him one bit.

I feel like no one is happy right now in this situation.

What a disaster this has been. This is typical and all-too-common these days, what with the political aspirations and celebrity-seeking behavior of everyone from DA's to defense attorneys to anyone involved with any potential news-making case.

So teams like Washington and Pittsburgh should play for the shootout and not try and win in 3-on-3? What?

This is the **** that led us to 3v3's and SO's in the first place. Conservative coaching masked as "personnel strategy."

Shut up. You play defensive because you can still get away with mugging players regularly. Hopefully the open ice of 3v3 doesn't allow the jamming and clogging that so many teams rely on.

What they should do is scrap the SO and make OT continuous in a 3v3 or 4v4 fashion (ties aren't coming back, sorry). Let's see how many coaches sit back defensively, waiting for the other team to screw up, when their players know they've got a game tomorrow and want to get off the ice now.

5 minutes probably still isn't long enough for OT. Should've made it 10. Long enough to expect a result but not too long that the game is being dragged on. The NHL has the shortest game times in North American major pro sports already and I doubt another 5 minutes will change that.

And that ****ing loser point. It's called a LOSER point. Come on... get rid of it already! Rewarding teams for losing. Ha ha, the NHL summed up.
