News Article: Is it time for us to discuss Chevy's place in the Hawks mess?

[Mortimer Snerd]

Chicago Blackhawks Stan Bowman steps down - TSN.ca

Schar's investigation found that Aldrich's alleged assault of the player, called John Doe in the investigation, was known by management including then president John McDonough, MacIsaac, general manager Stan Bowman, assistant GM Kevin Cheveldayoff and head coach Joel Quenneville.

(my bold)

Sounds like some of this is going to rub off on Chevy.

Yea this is not good. Tough to see how Chevy survives this (and even Coach Q for that matter).

 

[White Out 902]

If true Chevy needs to go. Beyond disgraceful. If true.

 

[snowkiddin]

Yeah, he's gonzo if this is true, IMO

 

[DRW204]

GM /head coach Paul Maurice.

 

[Ducky10]

Not looking good for Chevy. Said he didn’t know. Not only did he know, he did nothing.

Likely gone

 

[JetsUK]

GM /head coach Paul Maurice.

I wonder about the timing of Chipman's paen to PoMo appearing today, as these Chevylations surface. Maybe we're looking at GM PoMo in the near future? And hopefully not HC Huddy?

This is very, very troubling news.

 

[Jet]

So f***ing gross.

If people weren't worried more about their wallet than people, shit like this wouldn't happen.

I'm pretty disgusted right now.

 

[cbcwpg]

If he was there, in that meeting, the Jets will probably have to let him go... more so that he has already denied being involved.

I don't think it's a coincidence. Well sayonara Chevy.

I said this in the around the league thread before seeing this thread had been posted but:

If you read his statement it lines up, he just downplays the significance of that meeting with the 4 other executives. He knew shortly (3 weeks) before Aldrich was fired, but clearly didn't do enough because the accused coach made another pass at a 22 year old intern at a Blackhawks cup party in the interim.

It's f***ing gross that nothing was done at the time.

 

[Mortimer Snerd]

IIRC Chevy has denied any involvement/knowledge. I will wait for him to correct this report, or however he can respond, but it looks bad to me.

I can't imagine how he could get out from under this apart from simply stating that the report is wrong and that he was not there. That would require some proof.

This was handled very badly back in 2010. Just completely wrong. I'm afraid that anyone involved is going to have to pay the price. I agree that if this report is correct, he is going to have to go - unfortunately for him and for the Jets.

 

[RustyCat]

Very simple: If Chevy knew and lied, minimized, or omitted anything then good f***ing riddance.

 

[DRW204]

Chipmans what?

Murat had a piece today with Chipman talking about jets culture and Maurice.

What has Chipman said?

I'd say unfortunately for the Jets, but if he was indeed privy and did nothing, then f*** him. (I know semantically your sentence is correct, I'm just really pissed off about it atm)

The denial puts it right over the top, if there was ever any wiggle room.

 

[Al Camino]

Chipmans what?

There was a piece in today’s athletic all about culture and what not. Could be that. Odd coincidence

 

[purdy44]

The timing of Chipman's puff piece cannot be stressed enough.

 

[Gm0ney]

If Chevy HAD actually said anything and blown the whistle on this in 2010, he would never have worked in the NHL again.

Time to see just how deep TNSE loyalty is. Do they suspend him while they "conduct their own investigation" and clear him? Is he gone before the end of the day?

 

[DashingDane]

Wish it wasn't so as I like what he does for the franchise but that is a fire worthy offense and should have consequences.

 

[Neuf]

He's quoted as being at a meeting and believing the allegations to be serious
His statement in summer was generous with the timeline, especially considering further harassment took place between his awareness and Aldrich's departure.
His statement hides his knowledge and belief of severity

This sucks. People deserve better. Predators don't deserve protection. Blackhawks removed everyone from 2010. Ten years too late, but today it was the right thing. The entire exec team from the '10 Hawks is accountable.

You are not wrong, but what happens today in Chicago and across the league may change how this works going forward.
