Took 30 minutes to get a main board thread. Just how the NHL would have wanted. Bury the lede today. Pretty gross to let them back in. f*** them.

I can't believe someone would want to hire Bowman anyway. Dude was terrible.

Quenneville is an incredible coach if you don't care about the outside stuff. If you strictly want your team to win, you'd be crazy not to want him. He spoke out about the scandal stuff on a youtube pod

 

[Jared Dunn]

yuck

 

[Il Stugotz]

Strategic news dump! How cynical

 

[Viqsi]

For the record, no.

 

[PromisedLand]

BULLSHIT

I wanted Q to come to Toronto

bettman and NHL continue to screw Toronto. Absolute BS

 

[Mr Kot]

 

[JaegerDice]

Gross.



None of these guys should ever be allowed in the NHL again.



Quenneville in particular has been extra despicable through this whole thing. The others have at least had the good sense to feign contrition and go into media blackout. Meanwhile Q has gone on media/podcast tours with sympathetic interviewers and had the audacity to frame HIMSELF as the victim.



What a toxic, entitled piece of shit.

 

[Statto]

Unreal…. Just unreal. So much for proper accountability and doing it today is a disgrace.

 

[Eyeseeing]

Well this thread will go extremely smoothly.
Wish we could have had coach Q instead of Arniel.

All of these men supported a serial rapist. I don't ever want to hear about how the league supports sexual assault victims ever again - they have made it abundantly clear that winning means everything.

Sorry, Kyle. They failed you again.

 

[tabness]

and people say NHL marketing and PR is bad, this is absolute genius timing lol

if Florida lost you know Q would be coming straight back to Miami lol

On the flip side, yesterday NJ and Phi opted against giving QO to 3 of the 4 players in the London SA case. Only dube remains under contract as he had an existing one still.

And the NHL opts to allow these veterans the opportunity to return to the league.

Q is nearing the end. He turns 66 in September. Bowman is in his early 50's.

Catholic Church, Boy Scouts, The NHL

 

[Seedtype]

Have they done anything to justify them being allowed to come back?

(I don't really think you can from this situation, just curious why Bettman did)

Edit: Okay, kinda say the statement in another thread, I really don't think that's good enough, heh.

If you wrote a letter of recommendation for a guy you know tried to rape a player so that he could work at a college, you don't deserve to be in the NHL you deserve to be in jail.

*Shrugs

I don't think Quenneville is the guy responsible for what happened, nor do i think he deserves lifetime punishment

 

[barkovcanfinnish]

Ignoring the obvious, stan bowman is not a good gm.

 

[tabness]

ease these guys back into hockey society by having them on the morally upright institution that is Hockey Canada for a bit for the weird tournament thing lol

keep the 8-1 Canada on the ice this time

 

[Kshahdoo]

Who's going to be the first coach fired?

That never happened

Time and again it's been pointed out

I'm open/happy to be wrong

 

[WarriorOfGandhi]

I bet they're very very very very sorry



that they got caught

 

[MacMacandBarbie]

Glad Q is back in the league, guy really did nothing wrong and gets unnecessary hate from jealous fan bases.
