Joel Quenneville, Stan Bowman and John MacIsaac reinstated

[HairyKneel]

There has been no ‘rape apologists’ in this thread

Your misunderstanding of what that word means is astoundingly loud

Father Mulcahey runs these boards.

 

[Ryuji Yamazaki]

Thats true. They should have all received raises for partaking in a coverup of a sexual assault.
Thats why I love Gym Jordan

Proof?

 

[Reality Czech]

Coaching in the NHL privilege that these people don’t deserve. What price did he pay?

Says who? A bunch of habitually angry internet fans who don't even know 100% of the facts of the case? For many people in this thread, there is literally nothing Q could do or say that would make them change their opinion. You can't really reason with people like that.

He's lost several years of his career, millions of dollars and irrepairable damage to his reputation. Some may not think that's enough, but it's silly to act like he hasn't paid a price.

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.

You don't know anything about Kyle Beach

He can work in another industry. Being in hockey isn't a civil right.

Good! They should’ve never been fired in the first place.

Care to explain why not?

Care to explain why not?

Because his team was doing really good with one of those guys I'm assuming

 

[Barrsy]

Proof?

May wanna do some reading Son.

Show me then

 

[HanSolo]

Good thing the responsible people were fired to keep that 2 million punishment nice and low, only for these guys to get a two year time out in the corner.

You would think if there was no proof Coach Q wouldn’t have gone on an apology tour and the three of them would have sued the NHL and media to the high heavens…

I get you’re the smartest guy in the room so explain what you don’t believe about the allegations

 

[Stringer Bell]

I’m no longer offended on behalf of Kyle Beach who I’ve never met. They can come back.

 

[PunchImlach is Alive]

For some people, this has little to do with hockey or talent or even the people involved. These three people getting a hockey job is like getting three new Pantera albums to a certain segment of folks who have never met nor will ever meet them. It makes them feel counter culture or like they are winning something so it's easy to see how these parasocial bonds form for hockey's dinosaurs.

Embedding the quote on this so that it is not only bumped but bumped with context. Should be a sticky at top of every page in this thread.

Disgraceful, Bettman. Of course you were an apologist for that Piece of Shit Rocky Wirtz, so we shouldn’t be surprised.

Reading the posts you're replying to, you're litterally asking people to show you evidence that you're :
- The smartest person
- Educated

That's... just not gonna happen, I'm afraid.

 

[Zalos]

Quenneville is for sure getting hired before the end of next season.

 

[bleedblue94]

Still would not want any of these people near any organization that I cheered for. Just brutal.

I think comparing the NHL or more specifically the Blackhawks to worldwide organizations that have been rife with child abuse is a bit of a stretch.

It's fine if you think that way, but once you cross a line on things like this, the fact that you don't do it over and over and over again isn't a point in your favor.

"I guilty of enabling and not putting a stop to the sexual abuse of one of my employees by another one of my employees. But hey, we had a Cup to win. And we only did it once."

The only way to come back and atone is to acknowledge the wrong and be steadfast in the commitment to 1) make sure it never happens again, and 2) hold the people responsible to account. Gary has apologized for Rocky Wirtz and now seems to be doing so for Bowman and Quenneville.

You either have ethics and morals and behave as such, or you don't.
