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 

 

 

The decision to let him coach last night was solely with the Panthers, Bettman is bound by due process. He can’t specifically fire the Panthers coach either, all he can do is tell them that after his meeting, that their coach is no longer allowed to coach in the NHL. It’s up to Florida if they want to keep him around selling peanuts in the stands!

Because he wasn't a "best coach" at all considering he failed one of his players miserably.

Was Kyle Beach really one of "his" players though?  Beach was an AHL'er during the 2010 cup run was he not?   

 

Agreed that Quennville is an awful human being, but my guess is that Quenville would have acted very differently had it been one of his main roster players.   

 

My guess is that JQ considered the Beach situation a distraction since Beach was "just an AHL player."

Coach Q owned it with his resignation statement. That's what real men do.

No. Real men own it when they realize there is something to own up to. He had a decade of opportunity to own it. The statement is just trying to save face without looking even worse.

I get that. But he's owned his mistake. We all make them, and he's owned his.

He owned his "share in it" without admitting what that was.  Still lawyer-speak.

He owns his share of it, and said the Hawks let this kid down. That's pretty complicit isn't it? That involves pretty much everyone.

I would even have accepted this might be genuine had it been yesterday before he coached again after the Beach video was released.  This was done in an effort to leave the door open to another job in hockey.  I aint falling for it.

That's the trick:  our understanding of his "share in it" includes all kinds of things he's denied up until now and still hasn't owned up to publicly.

He is going to be answering questions in a civil trial / depositions and possibly even criminal ones based on his letter of recommendation.  To be honest it would be foolish for him to be holding press conferences and spilling his guts about every particular.  He is out of the game and the more important procedures for justice are on the way down the road.  People - fans and media - are focusing a little too much on instant gratification right now.  His answers are owed to Kyle Beach in court, not to us in the media.

Absolutely, and that's why it's lawyer-speak.
