Not so deep thoughts by donlever

Who else at the time?

Myers?

Miller?

EP?

Garland?

Another chess piece misplayed by Management in the Hughes game I guess but not sure their hands weren't tied.

Maybe he was the best choice assuming he would grow into it.

Another bet that didn't work out.

[donlever]

...or...

...assuming it would push him to stay.

Would a different captain have made a difference in the Miller - EP fiasco I wonder.

People were more than happy with QH as the new captain at the time. Let's not let feelings get in the way of facts.

Hatred towards Miller was fanned by the media the very first day that trade was made. In reality, his low EQ just doesn't make a good captain... not necessarily on the ice or even in the room, but in front of media.

EP? Pfftt... people breathed a sign of relief he wasn't chosen. He himself very unsubtley declined. Thank gawd.

Myers probably had the best personality and respect of the room to be captain, but the "fans" would have thrown their Karen selves in front of the skytrain. Cuz would have strangled his chicken repeatedly until his doctor put his peepee on permanent LTIR.

Right 5th.

So many unknowns with this clusterfuck of an organization.

Really we could question so many things that have happened and relate them directly to inferior management.

Edit....yeah Hank...not sure there was another choice.

Zadorov.

Talking about people who completely quit on the team, no one split faster than Tocchet.

He basically head hunted Foote to be his #2. Tocc wins coach of the year with an impressive playoff run in their first full year, only to leave Foote et al in the dust to clean up the mess a year later.

Douche move if there ever was one.

[donlever]

Fair...but back to my question above...how bad did our Managerial Monkeys fuck shit up to the point where Ricky was basically running for his life....

[Carl Yagro]

Good take, BoS.

Amazing that Tocchet is completely unscathed after the shit hit the fan and splattered over everyone in the organization. Never forget, not only did he sneak out the back door, he also sneaked in through that same back door.
