Joel Quenneville, Stan Bowman and John MacIsaac reinstated

[Hivemind]

Strategic news dump! How cynical

While the NHL certainly isn't upset that the story is getting buried by UFA signings, the reinstatement simply coincides with the start of a new league year (July 1).

 

[Gizmo Tkachuk]

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

Is he coaching the Heat?

 

[JaegerDice]

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

I have no reason to be jealous, he coached my favorite team to 3 cups.

That doesnt change the fact that he’s a toxic, entitled piece of shit as a human being.

We were all joking that the Oilers would be very interested in signing these high character individuals. Because they hire every scumbag in the league.

But..... they actually are interested in hiring one of them lmfao. Amazing. Burn that organization to the ground.

 

[Warh1ppy]

I know that ONE poster will say no, but Quenneville to CBJ makes to much sense and if that happens said individual will most likely turn from not a chance to he did his time the moment he turns that team around.

Personally feel none of these individuals belong in the league ever again which is a shame as coach Q was arguably the only guy with a chance to even sniff Bowmans coaching records; but that's what they get.

Sorry, they didn't get it. They're all going to be employed in short order....because that's what they actually get

 

[Strangle]

Ugh I knew the leafs should have at LEAST f***ING ASKED

 

[PromisedLand]

Ugh I knew the leafs should have at LEAST f***ING ASKED

Yup!

Leafs enquired about Q and they were told no. And all of a sudden this news drops.

bettman's pet project that was the coyotes and now Utah needs someone I guess so its all greenery now

I wish bettman can be sued for all the shady shit he does to canadian teams

You might be right about Joel, but the bolded is just laughably cringe/tryhard and reads like parody

nope! its factual and proven in literature.

NHLol

Does literally nothing for the sport or league except hand out some participation trophy jobs to irrelevant boomers. Don't complain about interest declining when the league insists on acting like it's stuck in the 80s.

 

[AlexBrovechkin8]

Embarrassing but not surprising.

 

[Forge]

So spineless to try and bury this behind the flood of free agency.

But otherwise, whatever

A tad harsh.

 

[Hollywood Burrows]

quenneville is 900 years old and has won the cup like 7 times. Can he not just retire? do his wife and kids hate him that much?

 

[tabness]

Is he coaching the Heat?

Metro area, you think an NHL coach living in Sunrise proper lol?

Leave Maple Leaf Gardens out of this.

 

[Drumman44]

I think they should both be banned for life.

That being said, I think Stan’s last few years in Chicago should be enough to keep him away from a front office job

BULLSHIT

I wanted Q to come to Toronto

bettman and NHL continue to screw Toronto. Absolute BS

i mean feel free to fire Berube

 

[Gizmo Tkachuk]

Metro area, you think an NHL coach living in Sunrise proper lol?

No he would live in the Ft Lauderdale area

 

[GordonGraham]

Finally those guy should never had been ban in the first place

 

[Melrose Munch]

Is he coaching the Heat?

The Leafs don't practice in Toronto they practice in Etobicoke.

The Chicago Bears are headquartered in Lake Forest.

The Dallas Cowboys play Arlington outside of Dallas.

Sunrise according to the OMB is a Miami Suburb. It doesn't make a difference.

 

[Matty Sundin]

Oilers are in trouble if they hire Stan.

I can tell you right now the majority of the team and staff live in either the Fort Lauderdale or Boca Raton areas. Their brand new practice facility is near downtown Ft. Lauderdale.

But none of this matters anyway

 

[KrisLetAngry]

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.

I will have to take a long moment to consider if I want to continue being a Penguins fan if any of them get hired.

Had a convo with a co worker and we discussed what it would mean hiring known people like this.

 

[Jared Dunn]

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

That's the other thing, as if covering up sexual assault isn't bad enough this guy is flat out BAD at his job.

Like I feel like someone is going to give him a job solely because they feel he was wronged in this process which is just gross

 

[krutovsdonut]

bettman screwed up with an indefinite vague wishy washy informal ban so he would have to do something affirmative to informally unban them. if he'd said "i ban them for 2 years" when they were suspended and it expired today it would be fine. it's actually been nearly 3 years.

 

[Seras]

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.

If the NHL could have just kept them out of the league then they would have.

 

[The Hockey Tonk Man]

This is pathetic
