I disagree completely. He made a conscious decision to bury despicable acts occuring in his own backyard. That decision supported and exposed his employee to repeated sexual abuse through a power imbalance, just so he could get his place in the HHoF secured. People like that typically do not have the ability to radically change how they operate in this world.
He protected a serial predator while knowing full well what was going on, and also while being a person his player should view as a figure of trust and support. Sometimes, you f*** up badly enough that there is no real way to recover. Actions have consequences. That's life. Dany Heatley is a two time 50 goal scorer, that still gets remembered as the guy who wrapped his Ferrari around a tree and killed his teammate. Treat others with decency and respect, and you won't have to worry about ending up in that position (collectively, not singling you out.)
If they hire Quenneville, I won't watch a single minute of Canucks hockey until he's gone, and might finally decide to stop supporting them for good. And if this post sounds preachy, I don't care. It's people not wanting to talk about this openly that allows coaches like Babcock to get multiple chances for redemption while doing absolutely nothing to change how they act behind the scenes.
It's time to expect more from people in all walks of life.
