[QUOTE="kg01, post: 446331, member: 11"] Ah, ok. I was trying to work up some poster-on-poster offseason beef before the season starts and we actually have something to talk about. :D I don't think there's a 1-to-1 relationship, however, the tone set from above does trickle down. As of right now, the takeaways from yesterday's press conference seem to be as follows: a. It's all on the training staff. All of it. Head guy is gone already. Apparently resigned/received settlement which seems odd - your (in)actions led to the death of a kid and a likely multi-million dollar settlement from the family but we can't fire you 'with cause'?*** [I][B]***[/B][/I] More on that below. b. The bullying allegations are a separate discussion/issue. They were keen on separating the two. Made yesterday about apologizing, answering for the kid's death which seemed appropriate. Plan on addressing the bullying stuff separately. c. Want time to mull over additional action (i.e. coach's future) IIRC they say this will likely not wrap up until mid-Sept which means they'll be into their season before a resolution is reached. My only issue is that the event and the culture cannot be separated. One led to the other. No one apparently felt comfortable letting the kid take a freaking break. Durkin is the genesis of all of it. Here's what Durkin said about Rick Court when he was hired: *** Ding, ding, ding ... here's why Court was given a settlement when he left. No doubt it comes with a confidentiality agreement so he can't turn around and point the finger at Durkin. On Evans, he may skate on this since he's only been there a few months. [/QUOTE]
