McKenna to Prison

[Pierre McGuire]

The only prison he’s going to is the new Shawshank of the NHL….the St. Louis Blues

Dude, you’re on a roll tonight!

Sometimes this stuff just writes itself

I figured maybe a little “liquid creativity” played a part!

This kind of stuff is a cautionary tale for all of you doomer tanker people. You expect an 18-20 year old to be a hit every single time. Then you find out these guys are hitting teeth and breaking jaws out in public. It's why even the best are still a gamble. That on top of the news that Michkov is having trouble meeting weight requirements to play hockey? TANK TANK TANK TANK. Bunch of idiots.

In all seriousness, this is terrible for McKenna assuming that everything is being reported pretty equally. But even if it's got room for error here, he continues to show character issues. These are tough lessons to learn. But the only time you can hit a person, is if they start the fight with you. For his sake there better be some real escalation from the dudes jaw he broke.

Lots of rumors running rampant but several people seem to be backing a story that this other kid may have been verbally assaulting McKenna’s mom.

Oh I'd be shocked if the other kid is innocent, and I'd also agree this doesn't make ME like him less but this day and age is a different animal.

that alone doesn't justify physical violence. Now if there is some pushing and shoving going on, and there's a bit of instigation, I can get on board with people being dumb. But this type of violence can't be unchecked. there's a time, place, and reasoning. And being an underage "celebrity" prospect at a bar, you have to know the pitfalls and risks you are taking. You get a lot of people hyping you up, and you are going to have haters bringing you down. that's life. it's always been that way as well on college campuses. That's not a new development.

If all it was that he got drunk at a bar and broke a kids jaw that was chirping him - makes me like him more and want the Blues to draft him.

+1

If this turns out to be the case, I give him a pass. Moms are off limits…….well, unless it’s Bedard’s mom!

This.

I couldn't care less that he got into a fight.
Don't care that he broke another guy's jaw.
Don't really care whether or not he was provoked - I assume he was.

It's a boneheaded move to get into that fight in a public place you're not even supposed to be at, where you're already breaking the rules, and where there are an infinite number of witnesses and cameras likely available. It's the lack of awareness of the situation that bothers me.

The kid is a meathead. And that will always hold him back, no matter how great his tools are.

Ehhh I can't agree with you here. If someone is going after my mother there's no holding back.

It Justifies it for me…if that story about his mom is true, I hope he broke more than the kids jaw.

if that alone can provoke you, you don't have thick enough skin. I'm sorry, but you are asking a possible #1 or #2 draft pick, who is well aware of his future, who is well aware of what it's like to be the big guy on the block, to not be able to handle someone ripping on your mom. You have to follow that up with smoking someone?

Then you wouldn't make it as an elite young athlete in this day and age, I'm not saying you are wrong in principal just in reality. I agree in principal

Won’t need that until 8:30pm or so

Why are some of you trying to come up with conclusions already? We know nothing.

That is not how it works, your brain growth and development(impulse control etc.) doesn't care how good you are at sports.
