Correct. None of these are better or worse. What I don't like is that Quenneville is being allowed to resume the same position he was in before when he maliciously corroborated with others to cover up and hide both that a sexual assault occurred and then the person who committed the sexual assault. He did still take the time to compliment the work done by the rapist though, so he had his back.
I don't think Heatley or Mactavish should have been allowed to drive ever again. I don't think they should have walked without jail time either. But them returning to play hockey (after they served time, in a perfect world that we don't live in) isn't as heinous to me since their crimes were not related to hockey. Quenneville's was and his punishment was a bit of time in time-out, two stanley cups and a reputation as a great coach despite the fact that he may be good at the Xs and Os but he failed miserably at one of the key jobs he has in protecting his players.
Bertuzzi is a kettle of fish I am not touching here since I am somewhat biased to the whole thing.
