I know it's not you... but just a comment or belief you have, and it's valid, but I have to ask why?
I know Bettman needs to approve his return to the NHL... but what exactly did Quenneville do? Let me put this into prospective, after winning round 3 of the playoffs in 2010 (over 11 years before his dismissal), and during this exciting and stressful time for a coach and his team, he went into a quick meeting where he was only a minor decision maker (if at all - they just wanted his input) and quickly expressed his concern for changing anything before the finals, I might add, that there was no one in imminent or continually danger from this decision and that the person and crimes were immediately addressed after the finals.
Just a background story, I was questioning a police officer on a ride-along why and accident with potential minor injuries only was of a higher priority (call wise) then that of a murder. He said, "because the person was already dead". So I ask you all this, if the deed(s) was already done, and no one was in further danger, and if the police don't even act as fast as we expected Quenneville to act... why is he being treated like this. Yes the situation was bad and in a perfect world, Quenneville would have sacrificed everything his team worked for up to that point to get "justice"...(all while only being someone brought into the knowledge of the act in one meeting and being too busy to be the primary decision maker) but we don't even expect police departments to do this, often times when they investigate a crime, they sacrifice arresting someone until they collect enough evidence to help in their convictions, especially if no one is threatened by them in doing so.
So I think JQ needs a little forgiveness here, we all do things that are wrong, we all regret something we've done or not done, I'm just hoping I get some forgiveness when I require it too and hopefully I don't step this badly in it and I'm big enough to go against the current and stand up for my moral convictions, but I tell you, it's hard, even on here, getting smacked down for doing or stating "the right thing". These past few years, we've judged people for making different choices then we've made, even when we didn't fully understand (and could never fully understand) why exactly they made those decisions - we've judge them, unfairly, even when in the future, the decisions they've made will be proven to be the correct one (will we apologize, or just double down).
