Reply-to:All of these forums discussing his hockey career make me sick. He has shown no remorse for what he has done. He will not be tried as an adult and will not recieve the sentence he deserves which is bullshit. Why should he get to play hockey and continue doing the things he loves as though nothing happened, while Emily will never get to play another softball game? What kind of terrible organization would sign a player like this and allow him to try and get one last season in to boost his stats before his sentencing? Taking away his hockey career would be one of the first fair decisions to come out of this entire thing. It seems like most of the people posting positive things about him do not even personally know him, they know a stats report or might have watched him play hockey. If he truely felt any kind of emotional pain or remorse he should not be able to bounce back quickly and begin putting points up like he didnt even skip a beat. Emotional trauma affects athletes greatly and you can look at any player in any league and see that in the time following a tragic event connected to them, performance will usually slump or decline, unless they are like this boy and do.not.care. The sentencing will happen today, and of course it will never bring Emily back, but it should be harsh enough to send a message to other athletes and young people alike that your actions have consequences. Just because he doesn't publicly show remorse to you, whomever you are, does not mean he isn't remorseful. When you almost lose your life you aren't going to prance around and just tell everyone you are so sorry. When something as traumatic as that happens in your life it is human nature to try and block it from happening. You have NO CLUE as to how he feels. I'm sure even his closest friends, of which you clearly are not, don't know how he actually feels. You have no idea what goes on in his head so to accuse him of not being sorry for taking someone's life is out of line. Nothing anyone says or does will bring Emily back but trying to make yourself and everyone feel better by making up lies about Myles is not going to help either. He's getting a sentence and that's all you can be hopeful for. Don't come to his fan forum which is about hockey, a place where not everyone knows what has happened or the severity of anything, and say he doesn't deserve to play hockey or be looked at or drafted. If his sentencing isn't something major today you can bet yourself he will get picked up by an NHL club. Don't talk about him like you know him because if you really knew him you wouldn't be anonymously posting on some internet fan board.
