Slava Voynov getting pardoned even after he served time for throwing his wife through a TV is why we still don't trust Patrick Kane (or Drew Doughty, or Semyon Varlamov, or Evander Kane) even after they were purportedly acquitted: the same law has never applied to athletes.
I’m aware there are other abusers in the NHL. Look up the shit about Mario Lemieux. But the pattern you see in every case is that they get away with it. They get to keep playing sport, they get pardoned.

Then use actual cases of NHL legends that are recognized today, not players that are as you say are “pardoned” but in reality had cases dismissed bc someone was full of shit. It ruins credibility, point is lost. I have been making the Hull post for awhile. Sadly NHL don’t care.

You keep missing the point. PKane’s case was dismissed for “lack of evidence,” too. What I’m saying is that rich athletes are pretty much always presumed innocent by the justice system, such that I can’t feel 100% easy with any player who’s been accused.
