Pretty sure Beach said Chevy was at least trying to bring it to light and stuff and doesn’t actually accuse him of the negligence but don’t quote me. As for Toews, Ill deserve judgement for now until we know more about what he knew. do think he should step down as captain if he had some knowledge for sure. 1 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Quantum Posted November 4, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted November 4, 2021 The fact that he and Antoine Roussel have both spoken up against Toews is amazing. High class. Much respect. 10 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Nuxfanabroad Posted November 4, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted November 4, 2021 What would the league do to the Vancouver Canucks(as a franchise), if such a sorry, sordid, embarrassing scandal occurred under their watch, like it had for these Chicago dirtbags? Many have seen, and/or accused the league of longgg playing favourites. Not only does it suppress some teams from honest, on-ice competition; it apparently emboldened favoured franchises to spiral into depths of off-ice depravity & misconduct, that have shaken the game to it's very foundations. Top-down corruption has a tendency to manifest & emerge with such patterns. What a bloody travesty & mess this league has become. 4 2 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post Smashian Kassian Posted November 4, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted November 4, 2021 Its crazy Toews doubled down on Bowman & McIassacs behalf. He was a young captain at the time, and this is an exceptionally horrible event. I'm willing to give the benefit of the doubt that he may not've been prepared to deal with the situation appropriately in real time, but to come back 10 years later & not admit the organization was wrong is incredible (in a bad way). 2 2 9 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Drakrami Posted November 4, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted November 4, 2021 The problem with the Toews/Blackhawks is they put themselves first and covered up / kept shush about a sexual assault. Now that facts have become publicly reported, what does Toews do? Put himself first again, praises his buddies Bowman and laments how he shouldn't be fired. Again, ignoring the sexual assault and pushing it aside. Of course he releases a PR yesterday saying how Beach is very brave yadda yadda... If he meant it he shoulda done something about it 10 years ago. Has he changed? Nope. Does it show his character. Yes. 1 8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As per several team mates it was openly spoken about in the dressing room... As the captain of the team, he should, if any, be the one standing up for his team mate... Funny how the majority of the team suddenly suffer from memory blockage or severe deafness... This is as rotten, as it gets... Leader my arse...

spook007 Posted November 4, 2021 Share Posted November 4, 2021 A massive thank you to LaPierre for standing up and saying, what should be said by every hockey player... not just in the NHL. Any young person should be able to participate in sports without the fear of being subjected to sexual assults or the likes... However, should such incident occour, he/she should be able to talk to his team mates and captain in particular and expect support to the max... Beech was let down bu all his team mates, but in particular Toews as his captain. While Toews being very young at the time can be discussed, what can not be discussed is his support to the leaders, who should gave dealt woth it as the time... Leader my arse... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Top-down corruption has a tendency to manifest & emerge with such patterns. What a bloody travesty & mess this league has become. Exactly! There is definitely a difference in how discipline is applied to teams based on where they're from. And it's gross to see some teams get a blind eye turned as the focus is on winning versus being losers. It all eventually comes out in the wash and it looks MUCH worse for a team that stood by as accessories rather than intervening and addressing serious internal problems. I thought the cab driver incident was brutal...seems that was just how Chicago operated. By abusing others. The Blackhawks were high on their horses back then and seemingly left a trail of really bad conduct in their wake. I feel like they should have their cup(s) stripped from them as a result. Hit them where it counts to send a strong message that the behind the scenes stuff counts too. As owners, coaches, managers, and captains, there is a duty and responsibility that goes beyond the ice and into the locker room. 1 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
