Peters is gone because of the Nword but the other stuff seems like piling on IMO. Unless you are gonna hold everyone to that standard. Imagine if we had that video of Peters and not Laviolette...why does he get a pass?
Every coach in the NHL has "abused players" depending on your definition...things get kicked and thrown. Verbal abuse lol, these guys peel the paint off the walls.

Well if you google it there were plenty of articles written about it at the time, and the conversation has certainly changed since that time.
“Every coach in the NHL has abused players” ok, neat. How about instead of defending that behaviour we listen to the players who are saying enough is enough and allow it to change?
Guys like Peters and Babcock have been taken down a serious peg not because there is video of them acting like #######s, but because actual players have come out with stories of being bullied and abused. Like, what do you care if Peters and Laviolette are treated equally? You don’t know either of them, you haven’t witnessed any of Peters’ abuse or been in the room, you don’t know anything about Laviolette outside of a video clip, but you know enough to suggest something is amiss?
This isn’t about your or my feelings of fairness. This is about victims of the abuse in the NHL. Let’s just let them come forward if and when they want to instead of making it about our wants, ok?
