Interesting that the "pos" Bowman told the truth, ultimately costing himself his job and legacy, while the "good man" Quenneville couldn't remember Aldrich's name ever coming up.
Quote:
Quenneville recalled others in the meeting stating that “an event
happened without saying what happened” and that “something may have
happened. ”When interviewed, Quenneville stated that he believed that the
issue being discussed involved a coach doing something improper and that thegroup was meeting to decide whether to “make it public.”Quenneville also
stated that he did not believe that John Doe’s name was referenced and, after multiple interviews, Quenneville was unclear whether Aldrich’s name was referenced.
Quenneville also said when interviewed that he did not recall anyone saying it was hard for the team to get where they were in the playoffs, but recalled thathis focus was on winning and this meeting was unexpected. He said that
there was no resolution of the situation at the meeting.
Otherwise, Quenneville recalled nothing else regarding the meeting or the
events more broadly.
