that's the stupidest password I've ever heard in my life. That's the kind of thing an idiot would use on his luggage.
Flames: I wouldn't be surprised if many fans can prattle off King and Bean right off the top of their heads. But then again, both guys had the type of veto that I've never seen before on other teams. I don't know why this is the case, but it honestly feels a little bit like an overreaction after the Feaster fiasco. Heck, ownership even hired Burke as a POHO to deal with the situation. Burke cleaned house, then insulated Treliving against ownership (standing on management side vs ownership side) which probably annoyed them a little bit. Burke was a fantastic POHO for us.
No comments on his GMing and draft influence though. I am still kinda upset by that.
I'm not even a Leafs fan and I can tell you they've had Brian Burke and Ken Dryden as previous Presidents.For those unfamiliar with the drama in Leafs land over the past few years, Maple Leafs President Brendan Shanahan has received A LOT of attention in terms of his seemingly active role within the club, specifically roster moves and contract signings.
He was a central part of the drama of Dubas staying then leaving, and a number of fans on these boards are saying it's time for his departure alongside Keefe.
It got me thinking, however. I can't name one former Maple Leafs President off hand, nor can I for any other club. I know most of the GMs sure, and can probably recite every Leafs GM going back to the early 90s, but no idea on presidents.
Is caring who the team's president is an actual thing in the NHL, like do other fan bases want their team president held accountable for on ice performance, or is the Shanahan situation just another byproduct of the amount of exposure/dysfunction in Leaf land?
I would normally think of the president's role as mainly corporate/investors/media/league related, maybe even figurehead to some extent, not on ice related, but maybe I just misunderstand the role, or maybe the role varies widely depending on organization.
Like others have pointed out, there is likely a POHO and POBO for each team. Hockey Operations and Business Operations.For Canucks yes. We got Jim Rutherford as POHO and I think he has just as much if not more say in hockey decisions than Allvin
He's gonna be first person inducted as player and as a presidentIf it is secretly Kevin Lowe then you don't have to worry about lifting the Cup.
Like you blame that guy after the 3rd gm,I would gather most don't. Leaf fans just want as many people to blame as possible. If it is Shanny's fault the team did what it did, then why have a GM?
