From the information that I received on this case through the National Hockey League and through players who were playing in that game of hockey, there is no question those words were said on the ice. I don't think anyone is denying that, and that is what the referee reported back to the National Hockey League.
The National Hockey League's investigation clearly shows that was stated, but it also clearly shows that they felt it wasn't Shane Doan, and that's why we are here today to protect Shane Doan. He is a Canadian who, from all the information to date that we've heard, did not say this. We're taking Shane Doan, his wife, his mom and dad, his four kids, through an allegation of something that could have been stated by someone else, and this is not right.
