He's a bad person, sorry to break it to you. Good people don't let what he let happen.

While Torts speaks out without fear and is probably getting the job coaching the top team in the league.
Absolutely! Its shocking how most are carrying on like its business as usual. Pretty disgusting.

Bennett just can't keep a stable coach it seems. This is now Peters and Quenneville for him.

That’s the closest to a statement of culpability yet.

There are no people who are all good or all bad. Quenneville is a human being, and as such, capable of both good and evil. He did wrong, and admits it. Better late than never, and I hope he has a chance to earn redemption.

Maybe. None of us know until we're in those sorts of high pressure situations. I'm a person who tries not to judge too harshly. I'm not saying he's clean or didn't do anything wrong, he certainly did, and he did deserve a severe punishment, but I don't think it means he's automatically a monster.

There is room for two thoughts in my head at the same time. There's room for shades of gray and nuance. That's all.

This is becoming a yearly thing now...for various reasons.

Babcock..Peters..Quenneville. Get rid of the trash. Who's next?

Quenneville should never coach again. As a head coach you are responsible for your entire coaching staff. He should have been the first man to fire Aldrich the F out the door.

When parent's entrust there children to you it is your job as a coach to protect them from this kind of harm. The fact that he thought a Stanley cup was more important than one of his players tells me everything.

For him to deny everything is the ultimate ###### move. He deserves to be criminally responsible for this cover up. Hopefully Beach sue's his ass too.

Too add to my above post, what do you guys think would happen if Darryl Sutter found out one of his coaches sexually abused a player?

My guess is he would be buried under a #### pile on the farm.

Why do they get to resign instead of being fired?

There are very few things in life you can’t come back from, and very few people who are entirely bad or entirely good.

JQ is just a person who used terrible judgement and did something terrible as a result. He’s rightfully paying for that now. But a truly bad person? I doubt it.

No doubt the league wrote that for him. I have a hard time believing he suddenly feels “sorrow” a few days after his most recent indifference.
