Honestly this isn't even about who did what. This is about a company that's worth a billion dollars, burying a sexual assault claim by one if their employees so they could focus on hockey. This is about the mishandling of what should have been a cut and dry procedure. Instead they chose glory and fame over players safety. Don't forget they let him resign, gave him a letter of recommendation and deleted his employee files so there are no records of anything. If you think they handled this correctly then this conversation is finished. I'll let the court decide whether or not the sex was consensual or not.

They would have been able to get text messages at the time (they're no longer able to get them because the phone company doesn't keep records that long) and using the texts they could deduce whether or not he was a willing partner in the activity. Testimonial from the woman at the bat, I mean they could literally have done this exact investigation they just did, but 11 years earlier and got better results.

Bittman, and fear should be fired along with the rest that already have resigned

Are you serious right now? They didn't even do an investigation. Everyone knew what happened and they didn't want to deal with it. He was harassing 3 people in the organization , had they conducted a proper investigation and suspended him until it's completion, they would have proved a lot. One way or another. You're literally defending a disgusting evil person

Well, the incident occurred during the 3rd round of the playoffs, he stated around until they won the cup. He got to join in the cup celebration, got to take the cup home for a day, got a cup ring, and then was asked to resign.... That doesn't sound fairly quick to me, that sounds like a couple months maybe

Nope. Reporting an incident your employee reports to you, to the league, would not open them up to a lawsuit. The incident was reported. Burying it was the thing that opens you up to a lawsuit, like literally they are being sued. I don't understand how people can be making excuses for this s***. This is 100x worse than anything babcock did and he got dragged hard for that. He went to the team for help, the hr department for help. Their job at that point, even if you say they can't call the cops, would be to assist him, and help him file a police report, if that's what he wants to do. Not parade the secual predator around like a show dog in front of the kid

And when kotkaniemi has his pay cut in half, they'll have lots of cash to give D'Angelo a pay raise too

Wouldn't not reporting it to the league and police have been enough of a reason to have him agree to resign?

Really? Probably not buried it, suspend the coach immediately pending an investigation to start. Report it to the league, don't just say we're trying to win the cup and don't want to deal with it. FYI aldrich did this to multiple people after beach, including an intern, and a young person he coached after being let go from the Hawks. So ya, I'm sure he's just a great guy I'm not sure if you are aware, physical strength doesn't always mean everything. Beach may be weak mentally and was made to feel like a small person, who would have no hockey future if he didn't cooperate. Had he said no and left, aldrich probably goes to the executives of the team and makes up some bs story to get him removed from the team, because obviously they cared more for him than a prospect anyway, they would have believed it

He would have to quarantine for 2 weeks every time he had to cross the border since they can't legally deny him But I thought we were talking about Kane and his fake vax passport

It's probably just a fine, since it's not really a "law"

I definitely don't see Boston as a lock. And if coach quenville gets fired over the hawkcock scandal, then I don't see florida as a lock either. But I don't see the wings making the playoffs, in fact I think making the playoffs would do more harm than good for us

Thank you!

I'd be interested to see the rest of the re draft

Can't watch the game. Just popping in to wish Calgary and market markstrom a beautiful SHUTOUT!
