I don’t take a ton away from the interview that we/I didn’t already think or know.
I will say that I am getting annoyed with Army’s proclamations that fans won’t support the team unless it’s winning. It makes it sound like we don’t have committed fans. He continues to make claims that he knows our fans. He has also (in the past) alluded to some Canadian team fans as bing willing to show up even if the team is losing. I am not sure why the comparison was need. Army just doesn’t want to do it because he doesn’t want to live through it (he admitted that much in the presser). He could just say that a leave the fans out of it. He may also be right about a majority of our fans. But to me it’s unnecessary to bring up. He makes attempts not to knock his players or coaches, so why take a passive aggressive stance with fans?
If you and ownership don’t want to rebuild just say that and leave it at that. It’s your decision how you build the team. It’s our decision whether we support that or not.
He should have squashed Q as a potential coach by saying something like we are not going that route.
Maybe he reads this forum? I've seen fans openly say they hope the Blues lose and other unrealistic fans that seem to expect a contender every single year no matter what. Or people calling for his head after the first two below average seasons since the first year he took over as if they know how to run an NHL team better than he does.
I hope we do hire Q and it wouldn't surprise me if they are considering it. Everyone should check out his interview on the Cam and Strick Podcast if they're interested in his perspective instead of basing judgments on unconfirmed reports or speculation.
