It clearly wasn't the most glorious weekend for the hockey world, as the past few hours have seen disturbing, new revelations in the Hockey Canada affair, serious allegations against Tampa Bay Lightning defenseman Ian Cole, and serious charges against an Edmonton Oilers' feeder coach.

Yesterday, the reporter for the very popular The Hockey News, Ian Kennedy, did a post visibly denouncing all of this (which is excellent), but he included the Logan Mailloux case in his piece.

It reads, in part:

«We've got Hockey Canada, Ian Cole's allegations, Habs staffers defending Logan Mailloux gaslighting victims [...]"

A publication that has generated a thunder of reactions, especially from Montreal Canadiens fans who denounce the fact that the journalist visibly puts Mailloux in the same category as Hockey Canada and Ian Cole.

You be the judge:

Gaslighting is a form of abuse and manipulation that is used to make the victim doubt his or her memory, perception of reality and sanity," explains Audrey PM. The translator dissected the meaning and history of this English-language expression to come to the conclusion that ''gaslighting'' should be translated by the general term ''de-bullying,'' which encompasses all types of manipulation."

A publication that continues to cause a huge reaction!

Let's recall that Chantal Machabée recently stated that she got to know the young hopeful Mailloux. She added that she finds Mailloux very interesting and very accountable for his actions.

He is becoming, according to her, a better person.

"He (Logan Mailloux) regrets what he did, you have no idea." - Logan Mailloux

We would tend here to trust Chantal and her judgment a lot more!
