Let's see how quickly the media jumps to 'mission accomplished' on this terrible situation and coverup after a token bloodletting of x-ing out a name and a fortuitous blockbuster deal to flood the airwaves.

If only.
Spoke today to sports marketing exec who told me multiple sponsors have "put the NHL on notice" to improve response to Blackhawks abuse scandal.NHL brand significantly tarnished over past week, exec says, adding some sponsors unhappy with league's crisis management.— Rick Westhead (@rwesthead) November 6, 2021

While I appreciate the sentiment or whatever that is, the NHL has a fraction of the terrible bul*shit that the NBA, MLB, and NFL have...and they seem to be doing just fine, right?
EDIT: And that's not a comment on the league's response, I'm just saying that most corporations will spend their money where the eyeballs are regardless.

Update: The NHL has informed a lawyer for "John Doe 2" that the league will not cover costs of counselling/therapy for him and his family.An NHL employee wrote in an email the league will leave that matter for the Blackhawks to manage, JD2's lawyer said.— Rick Westhead (@rwesthead) November 9, 2021

I'm sure one of their lawyers told them that to do so might be a liability problem but it sure seems like a bad headine for no reason.
The Hawks allowed Aldrich to celebrate with them after their cup win. He felt entitled to the trophy a 2nd time after getting out of prison, on probation as a registered sex offender. https://t.co/U3ngsq2riO— Ryan Rishaug (@TSNRyanRishaug) November 9, 2021

This is the kind of thing that should get you removed as an owner. Unbelievably atrocious behaviour.
Wayne Gretzky on #Blackhawks: “From every point of view this is just a horrible scenario, what happened to [Kyle Beach]. As a parent, you’re sitting there going, my son’s 18, he’s gonna maybe be drafted by that team … I want to know my 18 y/o son is going to be protected.” (TNT)— NHL News (@PuckReportNHL) February 3, 2022
