[Lazarus] I am led to believe that #NYR is waiting on Gary Bettman’s meeting with Joel Quenneville before making any decision on the next Head Coach.

Posting this because he says in a follow-up tweet that things have changed since it was announced that Bettman will meet with JQ (Rangers previously said they were not considering him).
He clarifies that this doesn’t necessarily mean the Rangers are going with JQ, just that a conversation is likely (https://twitter.com/jlazzy23/status/1660666570073419777?s=46&t=X4G6zhwfN0JAskxgzi7hsg)
Didn’t it come out last week that the league said he hasn’t done enough to be reinstated?
I…might have to reconsider supporting the Rangers while Quenneville is head coach. He shouldn’t get anywhere near MSG.
FUCKING NO
one last time, NYR is a notoriously tight-lipped organization. 90% of the things being posted are just for clicks/engagement. don’t freak out until a hiring has been officially announced.
Honestly I don’t give a fuck. He wasn’t directly the rapist, while he did some bad shit, and definitely didn’t do enough, you can’t find one team in professional sports that doesn’t have somebody that did something as bad or worse than what quinnville did. If the Yankees can employ in New York someone who beat his wife, including smacking her across the face in front of the whole team, then the rangers can employ somebody who wasn’t a rapist, but just didn’t do enough after finding out about it. The dude is a very very good coach, and the rangers desperately need an experienced winning coach to help them finally win the cup. I’ll probably get a lot of flak for that but I always thought it was so weird how certain guys arbitrarily get ostracized by a sport, what other guys who do stuff that’s blatantly worse don’t face nearly the same repercussions or hate. I understand what he did wrong, and I’m not defending it, but I do think since he’s not the actual rapist, that it’s okay for him to eventually get a second chance, and if that second chance can help the rangers finally win a cup I’m all for it
