Pat Lafontaine resigns position with team

[FamilyGuy716]

Pat was not hired to work for three months and then just pick up and leave. Please use your brain.

Look at what a joke this organization looks like now. It was a bad move, your delusional if you think otherwise.

We look like friggin amateurs. It's embarrassing.

People defending LaFontaine need to read this article.

Patty has some serous personal issues that he needs to fix.

How in the world do you read that and come out of it thinking it makes him look bad

I agree. The article makes me feel that Wang and Milbury have some serious personal issues to work through.

So Patty resigned from an unpaid job 8 years ago and was fired from one today. Doesn't make him a bad person.

You definitely stick to your agenda. If someone posted an article that quoted someone who worked with Pegula and called him "cowardly" you would have 1,000 consecutive posts about it.

Someone works with Patty and calls his actions "cowardly" and you see nothing that makes him look bad.

But why does it matter? So we get made fun of on twitter for a few hours until there is a trade.

We're intentionally bad, trying to get the number one pick.


In 2 years when we are actually trying to be good and improve the team Pat coming and going quickly will be long forgotten.


If we draft McDavid next year nobody is going to care that LaFontaine flaked out.

I prefer that it wouldn't have happened, but people are blowing it way out of proportion. Pat was mad he wasn't involved? Maybe that's because he was hired to fill a position that doesn't exist.

Can't wait to hear what Millbury has to say on Monday night..

So you really think it is just people on twitter that make fun of this organization?!?!

Trust me, people throughout the NHL don't think too highly of the Sabres. It is a circus.

We talkin' about Milbury. Not Bob McKenzie, not Kypreos. Milbury. Milbury? Milbury.

I mean come on, the quote was someone's judgement of the information provided in the article. We can make our own judgements, the judgement of Mike Milbury does not overrule that.

Pat LaFontaine was hired for a mostly meaningless advisory role with the Islanders and quit when the general manager was fired a couple months after being hired... in the summer. It was an absolutely absurd bit of management and LaFontaine rightly wanted no part.

 

[BloFan4Life]

I agree. The article makes me feel that Wang and Milbury have some serious personal issues to work through.

So LaFontaine quits a job in 40 days because he doesn't agree with other people in the organization.

Fast forward till now and he quits another team in like 100 days because he doesn't agree with other people in the organization.

I sense something internally wrong here. Sometimes its not the other person, its you.

Mike Milbury called Pat L. cowardly. Do you know who Milbury is? I don't take anything he says seriously.

Here are some of the words that the writer used to define LaFontaine:
-one of the most famous Islanders of all
-best and most popular player
-remains one of their most significant figures.
-"I believe you treat people fairly,"
-LaFontaine declined to respond to Milbury's comments.
- LaFontaine's nonprofit organization, Champions in Courage, which funds the construction of interactive playrooms in children's hospitals.
-raise money for charity
-he has remained a fixture on Long Island
-LaFontaine called Wang twice

Yes those two incidents over the span of a decade sure prove that!

In addition, there are reports out there that he was fired.

Hmm, it's possible that, if you're right, the only thing it means is that Pat LaFontaine doesn't really fit in an NHL front office. If that's the case, then maybe he should resign or something

 

[Puppa2Miller]

One tweet proved to you that LaFontaine was promised to be the next president of the United States by Pegula earlier

When that's your only experience in an NHL front office, your probably are not going to get many other opportunities, hence the reason why there are only 2.

Not staying in a job you don't like or choosing not to work with people you don't agree with is not some internal defect. Staying in that situation however, that is cause for concern.

Ok, and?

One tweet proved to you that LaFontaine was promised to be the next president of the United States by Pegula earlier

An unchallenged tweet led me to believe the claim was accurate



A piece in praise of Lafontaine led some to believe he had a problem

Ok, what about his role with the NHL, who are welcoming him back with open arms?

Tough to fit into any type of management team when you don't respect other people's views and think you are the almighty.

The guy didn't want to be labeled a GM, but wanted the power of a GM.

Doing that allows him to miss all blame, but take all responsibility for success.

The guy who was promised the power of the GM and had it taken away decided to leave rather than stay in a do nothing position

His position in the NHL is a joke. He has no one on his back and is responsible for nothing. It is an independent study more or less.
