For this not aware, Cal Foote was also a member of the 2018 juniors team.
Also Marino came out late so it’s only McLeod and Foote missing

Oh boy. Realistically our season would be really fucked without mcleod as well. Mercer can swap back to center, lazar has played center in Boston as well so he can center the 3rd and haula can move up to the 2nd.

McLeod…. fuck….

Won’t be seeing him no more

This does not look good, but it sounds like we have to wait for the post-practice press conference to know for sure what’s up.

Uh fuck. But also if he was involved (as well as Foote) then fuck them.
Edit: They have Mercer working as center. Looks like they’re expecting to lose McLeod.

Fuck.

I imagine we’ll know for sure (or at least 99% sure) based on Lindy’s post game presser. If Lindy gives any other reason than ‘maintenance’, then you have to think the writing is on the wall for both of them.

Hoping it’s just the bug going around the team, expecting an update post practice

I’d say don’t overreact yet. Only Hart, Dube and Formenton have requested leave from their respective teams. Until a leave is requested, I’m not taking their absence as related to the 2018 assault.
Comtois, Batherson, Howden were also ones who never released statements
Edit: Both Foote and McLeod have requested leave from the team for an indefinite period according to the Devil’s Twitter account.

Marino is now on the ice but not Foote or McLeod.
pro_omnibus
So 3 teams have explicitly given players on that team leaves of absence (Calgary, Flyers, Ambri-Piotta in Switzerland), and 5 were charged.
IF all 3 of those teams know those players are getting charged (bit if an if but seems a strong possibility), there are 2 other players being charged. I’d be shocked if McLeod and Foote were the other 2 buuuuuuut it doesn’t look great, and even 1/2 would be terrible both from a human standpoint and from a sporting standpoint.

Please just have the bug that’s going around. Fuck him and fire him into the sun if he was involved, but he plays such an important role on this team. It would be a tough loss but I wouldn’t be sorry to see him go

Marino is on the ice now. So only missing McLeod and Foote.

Marino done dirty. He’s there, just late
What an awful tweet to get lumped in considering what’s going down today
TediousSpark
Side note, just learned about Scott Stevens’ involvement in a similar-sounding thing in the late 80s. Just so disappointing.
May the victim find justice however this turns out.
hotstickywaffle
I thought the signs were bad for McLeod from day 1. But I’m curious if there is any potential punishments for guys that weren’t involved in the incident but we’re aware of what happened (like accessory to crime/obstruction/whatever it’s called when you know what happened but don’t tell anyone).
But either way, it seems pretty clear something is happening soon. So hopefully we get some degree of closure on this.
OgreUAsshole
Fuck em if they’re guilty
EngelSterben
Yeah this ain’t looking good
Mr7three2
Not great from an optics stand point

SPECULATORS! Mount up!

Marino picked the worst possible day to miss practice
Zissou_Belafonte
So Hart, Dube and Formenton already took leaves of absences from the NHL… that leaves, Mikey and Cal who weren’t seen at practice…NOT looking Good at all
Crumbssss_
If he did it then get him off the team. But god I hope he didn’t
ErnieShovelhead
Both have requested indefinite leave as well
Metboy1970
Really hoping McLeod and Foote were not in that room. Perhaps just being called to make a statement. Just an awful situation for that alleged victim and awful behavior from the young men involved if it all turns out to be true.
Snooter-McGavin
So found this interesting tidbit while reading into this -seems like McLeod (and katchouk/batherson) is keeping his mouth shut but also not denying what happened. Unlike the rest of the team including Foote.
The following players have come out either via personal statement or with their agency to say that they were not involved with the allegations: Jake Bean, Kale Clague, Max Comtois, Dillon Dube, Dante Fabbro, Cal Foote, Jonah Gadjovich, Carter Hart, Brett Howden, Cale Makar, Colton Point, Taylor Raddysh, Sam Steel, Tyler Steenbergen, Robert Thomas and Conor Timmins.
The following players have stated that they have fully cooperated with the investigation but declined to comment further: Boris Katchouk, Drake Batherson and Michael McLeod.
This is terrible news from a season standpoint, but I will die on this hill… I would rather lose the season and have them face justice (if guilty) than win with someone who was guilty but never faced justice. We are the God damn Devils, not the Blackhawks… we are a better organization and should strive to be above reproach.

Marino has nothing to do with the Team Canada gang bang, he is American

Shit that’s not a good sign
Former Devils Michael McLeod & Cal Foote.
What’s up with Marino?
Well this sucks
For this not aware, Cal Foote was also a member of the 2018 juniors team.
