wallstreetamigo Posted October 29, 2021 Share Posted October 29, 2021 I could definitely see Bergevin think about hiring him then realize maybe he should thank god he wasn’t involved and stay out of it completely. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Jaimito Posted October 29, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted October 29, 2021 What a stain on a hall of fame level coaching career. If you can't protect your most vulnerable players as a coach just because you want to win at all costs, then you failed as a coach and as a human being. 5 6 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post 4petesake Posted October 29, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted October 29, 2021 I don’t know if this bothers others as well but why do these people all get to resign, just like Aldrich? Is it too much to ask that one of the teams involved will announce that someone was fired? 2 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CupIsComing Posted October 29, 2021 Share Posted October 29, 2021 But...but...but...he was just a Black Ace! I wonder how Coach Q's (in)action would have differed if it was Kane or Toews? Obviously, and inexplicably, who was abused seems to matter. Kyle Beach was a nobody to this coach and organization. I love hockey...but sometimes I hate it.

GB5 Posted October 29, 2021 Share Posted October 29, 2021 So is Bettman giving all these guys an out to resign rather than be suspended or something? Seems too convenient... 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's an awful human being but one of the best coaches of all-time. Will be interesting to see if he gets another gig. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Letting them fall on their sword and try to make it sound like they are doing what is right makes me sick. 2 1 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seems too convenient... I'm getting the impression that it might be pretty hard to dismiss them from their current organisation for something they did with another club. There might be a bit of unfair dismissal litigation in the air. Thus they are allowed to "resign" to save legal problems for clubs further down the line. Just a thought.

Although I'm sure they were hired in "good faith" and this would kind of wreck that. I'm sure this wasn't on the resume or reference checks but it certainly was part of the work history. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good coaches are care for their teams, coach Q didn't. 5 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Fanuck Posted October 29, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted October 29, 2021 Sadly, the fact remains, he could've resigned a long time ago but he chose not to. I suspect that he was hoping this would all blow over and Bettman said its either you go on your terms or we do it for you. His resignation at this point, in my view, is worthless as a statement of him as a person since it was clearly motivated by his meeting with the league and not by intentions to do the right thing from the beginning. 6 3 2 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As long as such individuals are removed from the positions of power they currently hold as they've shown an ability to take advantage, manipulate, and self serve their way to manufactured success in the past. I don't need to hear someone is fired or perm-banned. Just that decisions have been made to remove them at this time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post CBH1926 Posted October 29, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted October 29, 2021 I have never said anything negative about Bettman as long as he has been the commissioner. But &^@# him for how he handled this situation thus far. 4 1 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Very likely given the timing of the resignation and the fact that he'll need to speak with Bettman to get another job. Chevy, Fehr, and Bettman next for their roles in this, please. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Sapper Posted October 29, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted October 29, 2021 This is infuriating. A gutless coward is allowed to coach one last game and then simply step down ???. Bettman wears this 100% ... There are certain offenses that its common to see forced resignations. This is NOT one of those times The coaches implicated as knowing should have been suspended immediately and indefinitely. Giving them time to say goodbyes and getting one last game is wrong on so many levels 1 2 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
