doesn't justify contracting a hitman, of course, but yes, I do feel bad for him.

OTOH (and this should start a nice debate)
are we really sure Danton would have been raked over the coals if he was outed? hockey is a pretty rough, gladiatorish sport, but it also may be the most "gentlemanly" if that makes sense (goons who wont fight another guy if he's hurt, etc). I mean, if teammates can play with dive artists like Barnaby, Tucker, and Kovalev, would they think it would be as much of a big deal to play with a gay player?

do Kariya and Selanne have wives?
