Gotta wait until 4?? Thought it was this morning for some reason. What will we speculate about until then… what colour suit will Kent wear?

 

[sampollock]

[iamtalbot]

Will Kent honor the past gm by wearing purple pants?????

Wardrobe is irrelevant.. but biceps measurement IS!

Thanks, been waiting for this thread.

 

[Leon Lucius Black]

Hughes after having to answer 14 non-hockey related questions by the media to start off the press conference.

Him and Gorton are doing a Weigh In actually. Should be intense and create hype.

No head scout/AGM presented as well at the presser ? Unsubscribed

Hughes showing up with his AGM's at the PC:

 

[Adam Michaels]

Heard on TSN690 this morning that they will hold the press conference at the center ice of the Bell Center.

It could make sense if they want to have reporters on site. So having it there is a more open area to have people sitting there with enough distance between them.

I wager that Kent Hughes speaks better French than Marc Bergevin

 

[Habs 4 Life]

I wager that Kent Hughes speaks better French than Marc Bergevin

Night and day!

 

[Runner77]

I just tuned in to Marinaro and he’s asking a caller how long it takes for him to digest pasta. This is how he’s covering Hughes.

Oh no — he now has that poor, delusional caller Peter on. Peter is so dim witted that Marinaro is making him believe that he could have been Habs GM. Man. Great coverage.

 

[Runner77]

I wager that Kent Hughes speaks better French than Marc Bergevin

Man, that’s quite the low bar.

I know a guy who moved to Texas a long time ago, who collects hockey sticks and speaks a better French than most Quebec residents.

 

[FrankMTL]

I want to see Hughes pop out of the floor like Beyonce. Fireworks would be cool too.

I hope people bring a jacket with them. brrr

I want him to come out on a ramp in full power walk strut, Vince McMahon style

I'll answer you the same way I answered someone else who said this in the Kent Hughes thread: you set the bar real low.

Hopefully we can get an idea where the team will be heading now that Gorton had a bit of time to watch the team.

 

[BLONG7]

Kent Hughes, Jeff Gorton and Geoff Molson will speak to the media today at 4:00 PM ET.

Molson will probably talk about the nachos? The Hot Dogs? Or condos?
At least Hughes and Gorton will talk about something with some substance.

 

[Adam Michaels]

Come out with purpose:

Leave with celebration:

 

[Vachon23]

Hope media will ask the real good questions and not Patrick Roy/French debate questions

 

[Adam Michaels]

Hopefully we can get an idea where the team will be heading now that Gorton had a bit of time to watch the team.

Don't expect them to answer that question today. Hughes just came on board yesterday. They will tell whoever asks that question that Hughes will need time to assess things himself. Gorton has been assessing since he was hired. But now Hughes is in the picture. He will also need time to assess things before they commit to a direction.
