I do think it’s a bit convenient to say Calgary handled their situation well but both Florida and Chicago didn’t. They came under different circumstances. In truth, we don’t know.

It didn’t name them as defendants, but the lawsuit claimed an assault by the video coach, named the mental skills coach as a defendant and made specific claims which directly implicated Bowman and inferentially implicated Q. Q was in charge of Gary and Aldrich, and Bowman was in charge of everything. Maybe a little more diligence was required. I mean, on this site, since the suit was filed, I was saying Quenneville must be implicated, it was just common sense.
It may be convenient to say Calgary handled it differently. But even when the Q allegation was made public, he was still behind the bench for a game. Peters wasn’t.
