All I want to know is how can HuGo fleece Chayka for Knies ?

There’s gotta be a way…

I think we missed our fleecing window with that specific deal

I agree Pelley inspires zero confidence. He looks like the smarmy school prinicpal I wish I never had

He’s Bill Lumbergh the boss from Office Space

I'm not so sure. Chayka traded Max Domi for Chucky back in the day . . .

Simmons goin’ to the mat for the old guard, eh?

 

[worm]

these people are morons -- they would have wanted the Habs to hire Patrick Roy and would have whined when we hired a "nobody" like Hughes

Did biznasty play for him?

not sure...but they have endless love for former players stepping into front office roles....in that clip they went off on "Shane Doan being stabbed in the back"

Were promises made?

The fact that Leafs actually allowed Simmons to ask a question at the presser, given what he's been writing about Chayka in the last week, is astounding to me. It would seem obvious that he would just continue along the same path with his questions at the presser.

quite a douchey thing to ask at a presser hiring someone, I could see asking what they did to determine he was the right guy

only that Meghan would work for them,,,,

Sure . . . but it's Simmons and it's not a surprise he went down that road. It is a surprise that MLSE was so seemingly caught off guard by it that he was the third person allowed to ask a question. Amateur hour there. Chantal never would have allowed that to even possibly happen here.

Glad the media is not just asking soft ball questions. But that's a weird angle to take

yeah Chantal basically knows every question that will be asked and the order they will be asked

I’m so fucking ecstatic that MSL is our coach and Hughes is our GM and that these “introductory pressers — say hello to Rejean Houle everyone” have faded into the past and won’t be happening any time soon

Actually he looks like a befuddled moron. But I guess he was "clever" enough to parlay his TSN presidency position to head of MLSE, although I'm a bit curious how.
