…

(This was in July)

Also, the good thing about Bowman “stepping down” as opposed to getting fired is that he doesn’t get paid the rest of his contract.

NHL speed run:

Evander Kane

VS

Chicago Blackhawks and Co.

Who can be the worst. Who woulda thought this would be the closest race to the start of the NHL2021/22 season.

Bettman announced John McDonough, Stan Bowman, Al MacIsaac, and Jay Blunk will all “require a meeting with me in advance of accepting any NHL-related position to determine appropriate conditions under which such new employment might take place” should they wish to re-enter NHL

So, Bettman meeting with Chevy and Q, all others involved need to meet Bettman before being able to rejoin an Org, NHL cleaning house here

Dont forget Quenneville (panthers coach) said the same thing

Both #nhljets GM Kevin Cheveldayoff and #FlaPanthers coach Joel Quenneville said in July they first learned of allegations in June. Those statements were contradicted by their testimony in the report.#NHL commissioner Gary Bettman says he will "reserve judgment" on next steps⬇️ pic.twitter.com/QDSmZQrMJk

Wonder whats gonna happen to those 2 and how it will affect the Panthers and Jets

Bettman will meet with Chevy and Q, so they're both as good as gone i'd say

Tired : Florida Panthers = decades of zero expectations and sucking while being a basement dweller

Wired : Florida Panthers become an NHL cup contender with a great system but then their HOF coach is fired for something actually bad.

Sucks for the panthers but we cannot let these 2 get away from their wrong doings

Honestly Chicago is very lucky they are an original 6 franchise as I got a feeling if this was any other team they would be done for.

Kane and Toews final 2 years deserved better man wow is this bad.

From the report: Joel Quenneville wrote an evaluation of Brad Aldrich on June 29, 2010, after Aldrich had already resigned from the organization. pic.twitter.com/PH05TrWNqC

Quenneville will be fired, not a matter of “if”

So Bergevin isn't involved at all? Also, is Bowman still USA's GM for the Olympics?

You can assume Bowman is gone, AND THANK GOD FOR USA, JONES WILL NOT BE YOUR FIRST PICK (tryna keep things light)

USA will fire him, they'll apparently have a meeting where they'll definitely fire Stan. Bergy was not named yes

No Bergevin wasn’t involved.

And Bowman is definitely losing his job as USA GM.

Unfortunately for them, the US is still stuck with having Seth Jones on their final roster. At least they can make him a healthy scratch though.

Does he have to be on the final roster as one of the first 3 named? Doesn't that just make him one of the 55? If he has to be on the final roster they're still screwed but I thought this might have saved them, because now they can cut him, which Bowman would never do.

According to Chris Johnston, the first 3 players named all have to be on the final roster. So they’re stuck with him.

Click to see full quote of what Quenneville said..

I got a notification from theScore saying Stan Bowman "resigns" and I seriously thought for a hot minute he re-signed

Nice, as a Canadian I like this very much I can't wait to see McDavid and MacKinnon blow past him in the Olympics

The Jenner & Block report is like the nail to the coffin. Has some damning stuff and tough read quotes. If anyone cares to read it, I didn’t fully yet. 107 pages of harsh reality.

Edit… wow… some very hard to read stuff.. page 27/28 is well… saddening to read. It’s just sickening. Proceed with Caution and the Blackhawks should not be fined 2 million dollars.

It should be like 20 million..

Stan Bowman: "I relied on the direction of my superior that he would take appropriate action. Looking back, now knowing he did not handle the matter promptly, I regret assuming he would do so." pic.twitter.com/yxbFQQ0AKR

🤮

Hopefully when Kevin Cheveldayoff is fired, their new GM will finally fire Paul Maurice.

The civil liability will probably reach 8 figures. This $2M is just from the NHL and has no impact on any lawsuits. It's gonna be a rough time for the Hawks insurance company.

Even still 2m is a light slap when they punished people more and other organizations more. Devils received a larger fine I believe before and Kane is technically losing 2m for faking vaccine dates.

The NHL still should have levied a heavier punishment for evading and neglecting internal team culture and morales/ ethics. And in general, punishing the Blackhawks for being terrible humans.

After everything we learned from Penn State and the Jerry Sandusky/Joe Paterno scandal, I simply cannot wrap my head around why Stan chose to cover up these horrible acts. Clearly, he made a conscious decision to sweep this under the rug. Why?

Possibly even a raid of a Tim Hortons too idk
