Summary: Vernon Butler reportedly got turned down from woman from instagram for her number. Woman claims he pushed her down some stairs. Attorney says security escorted her out of Butler’s party. Investigation on-going. Class C assault charge.

Again, like in Reuben Foster and LeSean McCoy’s case, it’s best to wait it out and let him be innocent until proven guilty. 

EDIT: @KB_fan brings this up:

this thread is gonna be interesting that's for sure.

 

based on what I've seen of Butler, I can see it. He's had plays where he's acted on emotion over logic and got extra after plays were done.

"The woman said Butler asked her for her number in a nightclub and she refused, and he then threw ice at her face, and pushed her out of the VIP section. She said she fell down the stairs, and he pushed her a second time, leaving her with a bruise on her face. She was then escorted from the club."

There were almost certainly witnesses. Here we go.

Yeah, or hidden security cameras. This is the type of thing that would be easy to confirm or deny with video footage. Pretty sure at least some hotels/apartments hide cameras in stairwells.

 

If it's true he should never play a game for us again

      I wouldn’t disagree with that.

      I would say the fact that Dave Canales insisted on a 6 year contract should tell anyone all they need to know about his potential job security under the Tepper's. No matter how much we have heard recently about how David Tepper has learned from this and that. This is still the same man who spent $43.5 million to buy and then immediately demolish a house because of who owned it previously.

      Same lineup to hopefully finish this one out tonight.  Here's today's projected lineup from the Hurricane's official website:   Tonight's Projected Lineup... Forwards Svechnikov - Aho - Jarvis Hall - Stankoven - Blake Ehlers - Staal - Martinook Carrier - Jankowski - Robinson Defense Slavin - Chatfield Miller - Walker Gostisbehere - Nikishin Starting Goaltender Andersen --- Injuries N/A Scratches Nicolas Deslauriers Pyotr Kochetkov Jesperi Kotkaniemi Mike Reilly --- PP1: Aho, Ehlers (Staal), Jarvis, and Svechnikov with Gostisbehere PP2: Blake, Hall, Jankowski, and Stankoven with Miller I'm getting to the point to where I have to get away from social media.  The narrative is still in some circles that Carolina has played no one.  I just don't see how you can continue to discount what our opponents in the playoffs have done, either to make it to the playoffs or the clubs they beat to faceoff against us.  I know this is how Carolina always get's treated, but if we win tonight our record is 12-1 in the playoffs. 12-1!  Meanwhile, along the way the "talking heads" had us losing in every round.  Maybe, just maybe, Carolina's just that damn good. /rant Here's to kickin azz and taking names tonight. LET'S GO CANES!!
