That goal he scored last game was straight silky. He's really learning how to use his body to his advantage; that's also the fastest I've seen Dach look. Him, Cat, Hagel -- they're the most exciting players to watch right now, for me anyway. Lanks looked really good last game too.
But to avoid derailing the thread -- I'm waiting for the Q announcement. At this point, I would be absolutely shocked if he's allowed back in the league.
As I mentioned in other places: I think in terms of being a legal, direct firing offense:
It would have to be proven that Q had the power to really do something about it--like HE had the ability to put Aldrich on "administrative leave" (or something like that) unilaterally, or somehow ensure that Aldrich and Beach could have no future contact.
If Q couldn't via the constraints of his job (and I haven't seen or heard anything that Q could have unilaterally put Aldrich on leave, and nothing that said he couldn't, either), then I could see him staying on with a possible strong censure.
If he had the ability, he needs to go because he was in direct violation of the Blackhawks policy, like McD, McIsaac, Sthan, and likely Chevy. Gary might not have had the power, but if he was still a practicing psychologist he should have ever license and certificate pulled for victim-blaming--which even back then was considered unethical in the field.
Morally stuff Q said, along with a ton of others, is repugnant and in a perfect world, I would hope people would step down, apologize, and/or make some kind of gesture not strong-armed. As bad as what Kane said about Bowman being a "great guy", he did at least try to extend a gesture which I give him some points for--assuming it's not token.
Personally, based on feelings? Q & Chevy should be gone. Everyone listed in the report in that meeting should be barred form the NHL for a period in a good number of years, minimum.
If Q is let back in without at least addressing things publicly and answering some hard questions. I'll be pissed.
