That can’t be a great feeling for them.
I think the meeting with Tavares was just more of Lou doing the gentlemen thing and respectful thing by introducing himself to the teams franchise player and captain. I doubt they discussed contracts or anything. That’s what Pat Brisson is for.

Lou said he's been given autonomy on everything from A to Z.
Sounds like that includes S and W to me!

Lou said he needs to sit down with everyone, go over their job description, and then see what it is they think they do, and if it fits going forward.
Mentions there's a crest on the front and a name on the back. Players have to give up their own identities.

He said he’s going to give everyone a chance to prove themselves. He also said he’s know Snow since he played at Maine.
I’m hoping he eventually drops the hammer on everyone.
I give Malkin credit for basically giving Lou the keys to the franchise and it’s his team to run.

It sounds like he will be doing a full evaluation of the hockey ops department himself, and it's not like he's not getting any younger.

He also just said the fans should have patience and also wants the fans to know that the owners 100% committed to winning and do whatever it takes.

Well I posted it tongue in cheek so I'd say your "mood analysis" meter needs servicing.

He sounds energized and ready to build the team his way. In Toronto he was the GM but have to believe Shanny had final say. Lou probably excited about having complete autonomy

A la Herb Brooks (Kurt Russell)! Where is Mike Eruzione, when you need him to take the lead??

guessing Lou is just here to ensure his son is going to be getting that GM job in a few years, nothing better than some nepotism to some unqualified person, in 5-6 years I am guessing we are going to be longing for the days of Snow as our GM

cant believe mike didnt ask one question about JT. didnt push him on snow or weight either. not that he knows isles hockey but...those are basics.
Liked what Lou had to say, ready for a change, beyond ready actually. Not sure how much can be accomplished in the short term, due to the medium term problems of some bad contracts...

Is this real life? Seriously is this real? The things hes saying? They are beautiful. I want that fat smug arrogant peice of shit garth snow to have to sit down in front of this man and explain why hes invincible. I want this to be the first mother f-er tossed overboard!!
