They put the game above the most basic human decency.

Unless I missed it, awfully telling there's been no statement from the NHLPA or Fehr himself.

I heard the Keith comments and he is playing the deny until you die card.

Interesting that Boyton and Sopel have come forward and said the entire room knew.

Keith, Toews and Kane have questions to answer. How long can they continue to deny?

A real stain on the game.

Aldrich for sure should have his chipped off yesterday.

I didn't know Fehr and the union did nothing.

Gary is one of the biggest pieces of #### in this. top 3, anyway. telling him it was his fault.

and yeah coach Q. liar.

"hey wanted nothing to do with it, they didn’t want to touch it. USA Sport also denied doing an investigation. Now in statements that came out in the release, Stan Bowman has quoted Joel Quenneville saying – and this is not a quote, this is my words – saying that the playoffs, the Stanley Cup playoffs and trying to win a Stanley Cup was more important than sexual assault. And I can’t believe that. As a human being, I cannot believe that, and I cannot accept that. I’ve witnessed meetings, right after I reported it to James Gary, that were held in Joel Quenneville’s office. There’s absolutely no way that he can deny knowing it and there’s absolutely no way that Stan Bowman would make up a quote like that, to somebody who served his organization and his team so well.

If Bettman does nothing more than a fine, then I have to believe that he knew as well and did nothing. He is probably trying not to open up that can of worms.

Treliving as the face of it during that time managed the communications perfectly, obviously through discussions with ownership, providing regular, clear, concise and frequent updates to the press.

According to Capfriendly, their contracts all end in 2023 so about that long. Huge kudos to Nick Boynton and Brent Sopel for doing the right thing.

Quennville’s last NHL game surely.

Interesting that Boynton had just come from Anaheim, so he wasn’t part of any clique, I imagine. Both he and Sopel were 30+ as well so maybe that helped (though so was Campbell).

So f*****g disgusted by all of this. Not a single person on the wrong side of this has any right being in the NHL, or in any position where they are responsible for someone else.

Player, coach, exec whatever... name names and burn em all.

[N-E-B]

I think what bothers me most is the amount of people that knew what happened and were content to stay silent and hope it never came up again. Coaches, players, management, all of them.

Kyle Beach deserves every ounce of praise he’s receiving today.

I don't really see what this has to do with it. What can the Blackhawks/NHL do to any of them if they wanted to be stand up humans and tell the truth?

It’s pretty disgusting Florida didn’t suspend even if it’s with pay for tonight’s game.

On top of the accolades, I hope he gets lots of money when this is settled.

That's the opposite of reading the room.

Pretty pathetic.

To be fair TSN has handled this very well, and given Westhead all the resources he needs to go after it.

Sportsnet & CBC on the other hand.....

All those losers on HNIC have just shown everyone how pathetic they are. So happy to about non-NHL issues like residential schools, mental health....but as soon as something arises regarding the NHL they get very quiet.

MacLean, Hrudley, Bieska, Friedman.....where have they been the last few months? We've all known about this disgusting act for a long time now.
