Though the NHL’s schedule is back in full swing, the Kyle Beach story, and all of the fall-out surrounding the explosive revelations, continues to (rightfully) dominate the headlines. Lots to dig into from this weekend:
- On Friday, Kevin Cheveldayoff met with Gary Bettman to discuss his role in the Chicago Blackhawks’ covering up of Brad Aldrich’s abuse of Beach. The NHL elected to discipline the Jets’ GM because they deemed he was “not responsible for the improper decisions” that were made. I personally find this to be a stunning abdication of the league’s duty towards the safety of its players.
