[LadyStanley]

Earlier today, TML cleared out GM, all coaches but one, and like their entire scouting staff.

(Hearing they did hold their amateur meetings, so the scouts' notes on the rankings are in.)

shocking! let the team tank and then cover it all up by firing the coaching staff, who probably had a nice parachute.

San Jose one of record-setting SEVEN teams that were in the playoffs last year, but not this year.

And other notes about numbers from the season.

(Playoff teams were separated by 16 points, from top to bottom -- how's that for competitive balance?)

 

[LadyStanley]

Interesting.

 

[OffSydes]

Interesting.

This has to mean he is back right? He wouldn't give up that much "interview" time..

 

[Sysreq]

Interesting.

Didn't Cooch just decline to play for that same team?

 

[Chaotic8]

Ted Nolan getting canned is a punk move by the BUF organization. Once it became evident the Sabres had a shot at the McDavid sweepstakes, Murray didn't pull any punches to ensure a bottom 5 finish.

Apparently. Haven't heard any confirmation.

Great interview with the guy who did a Make-a-Wish 30 NHL games in 30 nights (in all 30 venues). Sharkie got a great mention.

End of an era, if so

 

[Quid Pro Clowe]

Sad to hear about Clowe.

What Buffalo did was crap. Nolan always has this happen to him, and It's pathetic.

 

[Fistfullofbeer]

Man that sucks about Clowe. Loved the way he played for us. Gave us his best years.

Ted Nolan also burns bridges so it's a two way street.

Ted Nolan also burns bridges so it's a two way street.

I'm aware his personality wears on management, but he's always the guy hired right before a team goes full-tank, in which he gets just about all he can out of that team then gets fired before they have a chance to get good.

Heard that before the season finale. Eventhough the bay area has more hockey players than socal, of course they would pick a socal city.

I've played there back in youth hockey. It's kind of a historic rink which is why they probably picked it over other places.

Peter Chiarelli out as Bruins GM...

Peter Chiarelli out as Bruins GM...

A new player has entered the game.

I could see the Sharks having big interest in him taking the GM role.
