Blues players react to Danton's arrest

"It's beyond shock," forward Doug Weight said Saturday as players cleaned out their lockers. "I don't know what to say."

"It's tough," center Keith Tkachuk told reporters. "I don't know what's going on. You guys probably know more than I do."

Weight said what Danton does in his personal life is his own business and shouldn't have been a problem for the team.

"Let's preface it by saying who knows what the situation is," Weight said. "There's rumors of what went on and who exactly was involved with this so-called thing.

"Let's not jump to conclusions, but you know what, hypothetically I think it would be fine. I'd like to think people are bigger than that and look into the person as a person and as a teammate."

"I don't know a tougher guy than him, I don't know a guy that guys in the corner and gets killed and that will drop his gloves with a guy who's 40 pounds heavier in a flash," Weight said. "He's tough as nails."

Some teammates were hoping the arrest was just a misunderstanding.

"He brings a great presence to the dressing room, so it's just real tough to see him go through this," defenseman Bryce Salvador said. "I really do feel like he's family. It's unfortunate, because he's a great guy."

Others wanted him to know he was in their thoughts.

"We're worried about his life right now and what he's going through," Weight said. "It's a scary thought.

"I feel for him and I'm praying for him."

[Bleacher Creature]

Professional team sports are the last bastion of male masculinity. Unlike the entertainment industry, a guy would have his professional career ended, if he was to come out.

I have a book called "Bloody Sundays". It a book about the inside of the NFL. The one the league doesn't want exposed. An entire chapter is devoted to homosexuals within the sport, who wont dare come out, while active.

[Reggie Cleveland]

I feel sorry for him because it appears to me that the guy is so insecure with his sexuality that he apparently felt it would be better for his life and career if his lover was killed than if he was outed as being homosexual.

I get the impression from what I've read so far the main factor was not homosexuality but simple instalbility/borderline mental illness. Had this guy been straight, he'd have been just as screwed up.

Noone gives quote like particpants in the NHL. Game talk is good, but any time they're faced with something that's not related to ice you've got a great opportunity for some grade-A material. JJ.

i have to admit, i feel sorry for the guy as well. i mean for him to have gone this far, something is def wrong. i'm not saying he shouldn't be punished. but seems like the guy has had some past problems with his family and he didn't know what else to do.
