No doubt about that. I hope if he wins a spot they give it to him, but it really sounds like he is behind the 8 ball with Bruins brass.

I don't know why Brad Park likes him so much, but I guess I'll try not to hate him too much until he does something stupid again.

Tibbetts is being unrealistic if he expects the Bruins not to be skeptical and suspicious of an ex-felon. Just because they're giving him an opportunity doesn't mean that he won't be under a microscope. He has alot to prove.

I never knew about the "crimes" Tibbits committed. Now that I know, I have to say shame on the community. Is he really a criminal? The guy got a hummer from a girl at a party when he was 17!!!! Who the hell hasn't?!!!! Does that really make him a criminal? Last I checked, that was what being a teenager was all about!! As far as the BB gun "shooting", what a joke. A bb would most likely never be able to pierce the skin..... I had a Daisy 1-pump and my friends and I used to shoot each other all the time. It would leave a little red mark for an hour or so, and that was it. I really hope Tibbits makes the team now. It would be a big FU to society. The guy deserves a fair shot as he is hardly a criminal. What's next? Capital punishment for smoking weed?

Oh man-- is that article by Steve Conroy on Dave Lewis great! I'm really getting excited about the season now that it's so close to starting and all of the changes they've made from top to bottom are impressive! Can't wait to see some games on NESN. Does anyone know if they're televising the pre-season games?

I agree. When I heard ****, I thought he literally ***** a girl. It is stretched way out of proportion. It doesn't sound like he forced the girl to do anything. He was 17 and she was a couple months under 16. Big deal!

Right!!!!!!! Come on now. If it was forced oral, I can think of a pretty good way for the girl to defend herself that would certainly be effective!! And why isn't the girl listed as a sex offender since Tibbits was only 17 at the time? The legal system can really be dispicable at times.

They think Tibbets can be a second line centre?

No. Brad Park said he had the talent to be a #2 center in the NHL. Clearly it is just an exagerration.

The accusation is that she was unconcious at the time, and that other people ***** her in other ways, but Tibbetts was the only one they could identify.

Don't really know if its true or not. He's more than earned his bad reputation since then, though. I hope somebody asks him if he really threw a burger at Mario Lemieux.

Mario probably deserved it. After all, didn't they once find Lord Stanley's cup at the bottom of Lemieux's swimming pool? Thats worth at least one burger in the face.

Buh? How could she be unconscious if she was servicing him orally?

Don't ask me, but the accuser's story was that she was unconscious.

If he had been a good citizen afterwards, then the whole thing would probably be doubted and downplayed today, true or not. But, he wasn't.

Right? Something seems wrong with this whole story. I am guessing that she was the daughter of a prominent and wealthy community member who was caught in the act and they turned the whole thing on Tibbetts. What other explination could there possibly be? You can't give oral while you're unconscious...... And better yet, why the hell would any male want oral from a girl who is unconscious?? I am guessing that it would be an extremely toothy BJ....... I don't buy this story for a second. And as far as the BB gun thing goes..... Hey, it was a BB gun, not a shotgun or pistol. I've been shot with a BB gun plenty of times....... Part of growing up as a male I guess. Never really thought twice about it, as it never really hurt and was about as comparable as shooting roman candles at each other........ The more I think about this, the more I think Tibbetts is a casualty of a narrow minded society. I wish the guy all the best, and hope he can prove everyone wrong and make the team. Seems like he deserves the chance to make up for lost time.
