it's so perfect that the sens hired him.

so weird that he kept getting or was rumoured for GM jobs through the years

In addition, they took him off tv.

so weird that he kept getting or was rumoured for GM jobs through the years

I do think he wanted to be GM and accepted the Sens job because he wasn't offered a tv job after NBC lost rights.

Doesn’t sound like the Canes ended up announcing anything re: Fred’s MRI results aside from the fact he’d be re-evaluated next week. Same vagueness as last year.

He probably begged and pleaded with his friends in the media to put those rumours out there.

And I’d bet that the Sens are the only team that ever showed any interest in him whatsoever.

Googled does not show that.

But Pens (second round of interviews), WIld, and Yotes it does.

Pierre McGuire thought Penguins GM job was his

In fact, the talks with McGuire went so deep that the former Penguins assistant coach felt he had landed Ray Shero’s old job.

quelle surprise

NHL needs to look at soccer and put a mic in the refs ear and talk with them. No going over only when necessary to talk with the Toronto office - just assign a team to each game and make sure things are done right.

My first customized jersey was a Guy Lafleur home white model that I got at the Forum gift shop when I was about 12 years old. I used to wear it to school and troll my Leafs fan classmates in 78 and 79 when the Habs rolled them like winos in the gutter in the playoffs. Thanks for that, Guy, and rest in peace.
