As AGM he certainly had power to help Beach as he was likely in charge of the AHL team. As the AGM he easily could have and should have contacted Beach to determine what if anything the higher ups did for him. He didn't. He also became WPG GM a year later. He could have acquired Beach from the Hawks and taken him away from the toxic organization. He did nothing and now has been rewarded for just taking orders and keeping silent. I've seen that excuse before and it never works out well for the victims. Also where is the NHLPA in all this? What did they do to help Beach? Beach contacted them and...... Fehr and his henchmen did nothing. Why aren't the players putting pressure on Fehr to resign? Where was Beach's player rep? Why aren't heads rolling at the Union?

As the AGM he certainly had access to Beach. He could have started by speaking with him to find out what if anything the Hawks have done for him, especially when the perpetrator was still with the team through the playoffs. He could have then exposed the coverup to media, and/or contacted Bettman’s office, or the police. He became WPG’s GM a year or so later. At that point he had power to help Beach if he had wanted to. He did nothing and kept quiet for 11 years. He maybe the least culpable of the senior management, but that shouldn’t give him a pass for staying silent.

I wasn’t talking about the bystander effect, which isn’t relevant in this case. Chevy wasn’t a bystander. He wasn’t a witness. Chevy was in the meeting when the facts were disclosed and a decision by management made to bury it. I understand he had no power to override that decision, but legally he’d have been protected had he exposed the coverup.

We have whistleblower laws for a reason. Chevy knew what happened to Beach, knew for 11 years that nothing was done to help Beach by the Hawks and the NHLPA and did nothing himself. It would have been nice if at least one underlying would have stepped up and blew the whistle. Apparently Chevy was more interested in protecting his career then doing what is right. If I owned WPG, I’d fire Chevy.

Saw DGs statement on Beach and coach Q and he was intelligent, focused on Beach and said his relationship with Q is irrelevant since we should be focused on Beach

This is serious but typical NHL BS. What did Chevy do for the last 11 years to help Beach and the other victims? Nothing. Wpg needs to let him go

Who was the last 40 year old goalie to play 40 games in the NHL? Thomas played 48 at 39. Edit: Found the answer to my question. https://www.quanthockey.com/nhl/player-age/40-year-old-nhl-goalies.html In relatively recent times there have been 3, Belfour, Hasek and Roloson.

I think so to. Chevy’s only defense was he was a AGM and had no “power” but that rings hollow when you realize he kept quiet for 11 years. He honestly should be gone. The next steps are cleaning house at the NHLPA. The Union has a duty to it’s players to protect them even more than the teams. Once the Union knew what happened to Beach they did nothing. Absolutely nothing. Fehr and his leadership group need to go. The Blackhawks and the Union need to writing Beach and his family really large checks to compensate him for the damage they caused.

Cozens (7th) vs Zegres (9) vs Dach (3) vs Turcotte (5) vs Newhook (16) vs Krebs (17). I think it's going to be very interesting to watch how the careers of these 6 players play out. I had them all bunched together on my draft board in 2019. TSN's McKenzie had Turcotte (4), Dach (5), Cozens (6), Zegras (7), Krebs (10) and Newhook (13). Turcotte is the only one yet to play in the NHL.

“You don’t play or execute well but you find a way to get two points, you can’t diminish that,” Granato said. “And I won’t.” Nice comment from DG, but you know he can't be happy with the sloppy play.

Dylan played only 10 minutes last night. Did he get hurt or was he benched for lousy play?

These last 2 games have been very streak-ish.

I never thought I’d write it. It’s just more evidence of how bad a coach RK was.

Hopefully. Who have thought we’d miss Eakin?

On the second goal he was there in plenty of time but failed to get to the post leaving the short side open, and on the 3rd goal he failed to come out to challenge the shooter but instead just moved toward the post leaving the whole far side of then net open. Yes it was bounced in off R2, but he likely would have been beat if the shot had been on net. Basically he was out of position on both our 2nd and 3rd goals.

Sort of. Mitts and Joki being out really hurts. The D pairings aren’t great right now and they are running around and getting muscled off the puck. They need to be more physical again.

That was 2 points we didn’t deserve. Thank G-d that their goaltending tonight was awful. Nice play by VO on OT winner. These last couple games remind me of the streak. We need to get back to playing 60 minutes. We also need to get Mitts and Eakin back.

Bye Q, I don’t see how Chevy can keep his job either. He kept quiet about this for over a decade. Now Fehr has to go as well and the NHL needs to up the punishment to the Blackhawks.

There is also an intern who worked for the Blackhawks

That’s why you nap at 5pm so that you can be awake at 10.

It was nice of the NFL to scapegoat Gruden to protect Snyder. I’m not excusing what Gruden said or did, but it’s interesting that Gruden took the fall while absolutely nothing is said about Snyder, no information was revealed on what they did to those cheerleaders and what they are going to do going forward to make the organization more accountable. It’s far past time to stop protecting the Harvey Weinsteins of the world.

As we have learned with Mitts sometimes it’s best to demote someone and let them get their confidence back.

This thread needs to be re-titled to something like “Reinhart thriving in role with Panthers”
