GDT: Game 5: Devils @ Hurricanes | 7:00 p.m. on TNT

[A Star is Burns]

I don't remember the hand-wringing being so much about Rod as it was about Waddell, and to be fair, there were legitimate concerns about what happened in Atlanta that didn't exist with Brindy.

Well, just looking at even the first page of that thread, I'm gonna have to go ahead and disagree with you there.

 

[Navin R Slavin]

But for me, the biggest problem I had about hiring Rod was that I didn't want to see him given Ronnie's treatment by the organization when/if he failed. Rod should always be a Cane, but coaches rarely last, even if they win some.

This was my concern about hiring Brindy too. But to Dundon's credit, when he says something, you can believe him. He clearly thinks that Brindy is the Hurricanes, and thought so from very early on. And he was right.

That doesn't mean he might not get fired one day, but it won't be the same treatment he gave Francis. Dundon clearly never built a relationship with Francis because Francis wanted to run the show his way, and that was never going to work for Dundon. Brindy and Dundon, on the other hand, have a very close relationship. Honestly, if it ever gets to the point of firing, I would expect Brindy to retire upstairs with Dundon's blessing.

I was more hesitant about Waddell than Brindamour. Rod is a natural born leader, so I wasn't too concerned about whether he could coach.

The Flyers are having a press conference right now introducing Briere and Keith f***ing Jones, with f***ing Coach Jorts in attendance.

I need a hug so f***ing bad right now.

As an old Bullies fan, south Jersey raised, Hound Kelly’s neighbor, Rexy’s bar goin, Spectrum attending current Jerk, I feel for you my brother. they say it was between Edzo and Jonesie, I can’t think of two worse possible choices.

"Quickie got a tip on it" seems accurate.

I mean really, what kind of a player engages in that sort of Hanky Panky?

And We told them to Pound sand as we should have..

I worked in semiconductors for years. We nerds said Pound Silicon.

Panthers up 1, wrong thread

Man, and as it sinks in, f*** it's still really fun beating NJ in the playoffs.

It sure is. Ever since 2001 when that moron Scott Stevens dirty hits on Willis and Francis.

2002, 2006, 2009, 2023...let's keep racking them up.

Did that Amber Alert scare the shit out of anybody else?

Was hilarious at the game to see oh about 20k people all check their phones at once

Timo will be having nightmares on missing this goal.
Yes he's a good player but doesn't fit the Hurricane's System.
