I'm as good once, as I ever was.

That would be great. Did you find evidence he has ever done that?

It's just how Terry and now Kerry make decisions. They play small ball. Pittsburgh people (Black, Sawyer, Patrick, Bylsma, Botterill), former Sabre "greats" (Nolan, LaFontaine, Housley), inexperienced people (Murray and almost all of the above), and now an administrative type in the organization with no GM experience, but they know him and they like his jib. All that money, and no guts. The glaring exception and possibly their ultimate savior could be RaKru.

More what I was getting to with my "command of thoughts" comment post. She knows all the buzzwords, but do they mean anything in reality? "Philosophical differences" is something we've all kind of cruised past on this highway. I hope someone asks what that boiled down to. If they won't explain what Botterill's philosophy was, I sure hope they will explain theirs going forward. Dang. I've been calling him Adam. Uh, oh. Heads-up son, though I'm happy to be out of the line of fire. What if Adams, like LaLa, finds out a few months down the road he doesn't have much power? So Adams was Deep Throat, under the Skyway.

I wasn't suggesting dementia. More like she's an empty suit.

My inkling is that hockey is old school and that the GM almost always gets to hire his own coach.

OK, but Adam's hockey experience is not unsurpassed. I know it's just a throwaway word, but it's used carelessly. Is Kim in command of her thoughts? More words. “He exemplifies our company values of teamwork, respect, accountability, integrity, trust and success; and will further our company mission in this role.”‘ Can you imagine the Knoxes being worried about that stuff when they hired Punch? They wanted to be the first expansion team to win the Cup, and they hired a winner.

Don't get Wilbur excited.

Harrington's the man for this question: "Kevyn, were you told Ralph is your coach? Are you free to choose your own coach?" It would go the heart of whether Kevyn is really the GM.

In a statement, Kim says Adam's experience is "unsurpassed." Don't words have any meaning?

h/t to WildCard for the two new threads. (Or mods if they did it.)

Murray still?

I'm warming up to Krugams.

That's fair. But I am nothing if not accurate. That's why it's funny. Now two people owe bob an apology. Smell, you're our only hope.

Warshington is. The bottom. Sometimes foggy.

How come? The joke is obviously not racist.

That's some good tea-reading. I am aware. It was a list of major management hires without experience doing the job they were hired to do.

As your posts will always lack class, no matter how you say you've changed.

Are you hinting that Adams is temporary, and that he and Ralph will hire a new coach? And then Ralph will take over for Kevyn?

C*sp?

LaFontaine, Murray, Botterill, Adams. Terry likes 'em young and inexperienced, too grateful to speak truth to power.

Local boy, known entity and one of the family, good Pegula Person (fine young man, surely)... classic. That he's cheap is a new and added bonus.

You disgusting fan. Shut up and keep posting.

Will we get to hear Terry speak?

His profile pic is the before.
