Heads should roll but you know they won't.

This had nothing to do with the NHL. The Canadian federal government cut off all funding, and would have shut down Hockey Canada completely had they not agreed to hire Henein Hutchison to conduct a proper investigation.
This caused the London Police to freak out, and they asked a judge to have the law firm turn over the findings of their investigation. You can read more about it here.

Nobody comes out of this looking good. The NHL, the London Police, and especially, the players, who are now accused of repeatedly gang raping an innocent woman over a period of several hours.
If Dube turns out to be one of the accused, the Flames are going to have to answer some serious questions about the nature of the press release they issued when he left the team. The outpouring of support from fans is not likely to be repeated the next time a player needs time off to deal with that type of thing.
