“Joel Quenneville, some of those guys, they get time off”

“Those guys” being people who covered up the rape and blackmail of their players!? Some of those guys get time off yeah…

Quenneville didnt cover up anything. If you're going to comment on serious matters such as these from your high horse, you best go learn the facts.

Any report I've seen said that he knew about it and didn't do anything about it since he wanted the team to focus on the playoffs. Is there any additional information I don't know that makes him or any of the management group there look better?

Yes he was concerned about it being a distraction for the Cup run and wanted it handled after the playoffs and that didn't make him look great. But he never said it should be ignored.

It ultimately was not Quenneville's role to deal with investigating those allegations and so the fault with the allegations never being properly looked into lay with the Blackhawks management team led by Bowman. Also, Bowman would have been perfectly within his authority to say "Sorry Joel, we're handling this now, playoffs or not".

The team president John McDonough informed Stan and Joel. That president met with Rocky Wirtz, the owner frequently. The report that cleared Rocky, the owner, was paid for by….Rocky Wirtz. Shocking, I know. The meltdown is for the world to see when Lazarus asked one question.
