I agree 100% with you both.
Can you imagine what Beach went through? I can't but to think that everyone that knew about it in the organization or NHL made it look like he was lying or worse that the relationship with the video-pedo-rapist was consensual. No doubt that dude's career was derailed in some measure by all of this. Too bad ALdrich can't be summarily executed and JQ and Bowman beat to an inch of their lives because of their enabling they let that guy resign, he found another job coaching kids and is being sued for sodomozing kids, it could have easily been stopped ....................its disgusting and disgraceful.
I found Toews comments to be incredibly self-serving and in his function as Captain, he
should've done something about it. Ultimately though, the responsibility resides with the coaching and executive staff. Torts freaking BLISTERED everyone involved today, and he's 100% right.
Agreed with you completely Puck, I don't know how anyone could think this didn't have a drastic if not fatal effect on his prospects as a player.
This is a total black mark on that organization, and frankly I think its an incredible indictment on the NHL that the penalty is merely a fine as opposed to something more punitive. Cover up sexual assault and it'll only cost you 2 mil, but sign Kovy to a contract that "circumvents the cap" (which was bullshit to begin with) and only then do we take away a pick. WHAT THE freak.
