First the Boogeyman, then Rypien and now Belak??? WTF is going on??? Obviously the programs in place regarding mental issues and drug problems are NOT working... Bettman needs to do something and he needs to do something fast.

Dude--if some over-paid musclehead on skates wants to off himself--why does anyone have to do anything?

In a world full of injustices, sports stars are well down on my list of sympathy earners.

Seriously? A human life is a human life. Plus, there seems to be a trend occurring here. As comissioner of the league, Bettman has to realize that there is a lack of support in regards to mental health and drug abuse. Both of these were not factors in all 4 deaths (Cavanaugh back in February too), but it seems that there is definitely some kind of disconnect at the league level.

I do agree, there are worse things going on in the world... I just hope the deaths do not continue.

Did you see his reaction interview about the last suicide... He was like I can't believe he would do that and that he couldn't understand why... A week later and he offs himself. Very weird... They say that multiple concussions make your moods flip back and forth violently and make for serious chemical unbalances that result in suicidal thoughts and no warning signs.
