Just stop talking Toews. Your legacy is gone and you sound dumber the more you talk.

Maybe the HOF should be given instructions that none of these people involved with the Hawks should ever be allowed in as that is probably the only recourse against the stupid players and coaches.

I hope the next time the Blackhawks come to town, Saddledome crowd boo the heck out of them and boo Kane and Toew every time they touch the puck!

All the respect I had for both Toews and Kane is gone

Toews answers are mind-bottling.

"People like Al and Stan have made coming to the Blackhawks...one of the special places to play hockey." Toews tell that to Kyle Beach.

"Whether we won or not, do we wish they had been dealt with differently in some ways? Probably." Probably? gotta be kidding me. He's unsure about it?

Players talk and speculate. All that time they spent together, of course they do. Toews didn't learn about it the next training camp. He's trying to distance himself from the situation and keep his own conduct during that run from being tainted.

From these comments from coaches and players you can see how uneasy anyone is with standing up for what’s right, because they’re all buds. It’s all this old boys club who won’t say anything that would upset the apple cart. Tippets words were pathetic, same with Keith, same with Toews. Just embarrassing

I'd like to think they wouldn't find reporting jobs anywhere else if it weren't for the low, low bar that is the Edmonton media scene.

Spineless propoganda peddling shills.

I absolutely agree. The question is - how do you change it without a complete overhaul? Or is an overhaul now becoming necessary after the past few years.

You misspelled “complicit.”

The NHL insiders in the media should be held accountable too. There’s no way that Rick Westhead and Katie Strang were the first media members to find out about this - how come it took 11 years to come out?

I'm pissed about the lack of accountability from virtually everyone around the situation.

Acting like you wish you knew and did more while the cameras are rolling when the truth you did know and did nothing is exactly what's wrong with the culture around the game.

Being accountable is unpopular and terrifying, but its also right. It's overwhelmingly right.

Feel bad for Beach.

Really crappy story, more heads better roll.

Hope Keith, Kane, Towes and any other player that lies gets boo'd unmercifully in every arena around the league as long as they skate.

Stand up and take accountability. Cowards.

Did Quenneville stand behind the bench in FLA tonight?

This really angers me in so many different ways. The Stanley Cup is the epitome of sports success and the effort required to win is extremely difficult. However the basic decency of human rights have been so violated in this case that it makes me sick. How can one idolize these sports figures after hearing what Beach experienced. The NHL needs to make an example of these authority figures such as Quenville. Turning a blind eye is inexcusable and accountability needs to occur. This should be punishable to the maximum standard and Beach is a true hero for breaking his silence and exposing these secrets. Somebody like that is much more deserving of a Stanley cup engraving then these so called hockey hero’s.
