Summary: This Perry thing being covered up and kept from the public has to be something serious or they'd have no reason to keep it hidden, and as long as it's kept hidden, there will be no demands for accountability etc etc.
Remember, whatever this thing is/was, it is/was serious enough for the NHL and NHLPA to allow CHI to terminate Perry's contract and cut him loose from the team. This isn't a situation like Kylington or Dube, where they just need to shut down for a while and get some help.
Anyway... of course EDM rolls down the glass to offer Perry a ride home. It's literally what EDM is all about. They're that creepy dude cruising down sidestreets in the middle of the night, looking for damaged goods to take advantage of.

There’s a distinction between a criminal and workplace situation though. With the assault case it was a coverup and should’ve been public if it was originally reported to the police as it was a criminal matter. With a private matter that isn’t criminal, there isn’t a reason for the organization to make it public just to hurt his reputation. It’s no different than you at work if you were to get into the same situation. I love gossip as much as the next person and want to know the why but it’s an extension of our own corporate lives in that they shouldn’t be releasing internal matters out.
