Jonathan Toews:
"Stan Bowman and Al MacIsaac ... they're not directly complicit in the activities that happened. It's not up to me to comment on whether they would like to deal with it differently or not. ... I have a lot of respect for them as people. They're good people."
"Do we wish they had been dealt with differently in some ways? Probably."
Patrick Kane:
"I knew Kyle pretty well from a couple different training camps. He seemed like a happy-go-lucky guy... I wish back then we could've done some different things or known some different things to helped him. I feel bad for him, if that stuff happened."
Kane would go on to call Bowman "a great man who did a lot of things for me personally."
A week later, Kane is adjusting his tune. Kane reiterated his point of view after Friday night's win over the Ottawa Senators.
Patrick Kane:
"I feel bad about the last time I talked. I put my personal experience with management ahead of the way Kyle Beach was treated by them... It takes incredible courage and pride for him to come forward. We're all thinking about him."
I'm sure you felt like you had to comment now and change the tune.
