Godric is 2/2 in his fire the coach threads.
It's too bad he doesn't have that kind of luck with his parlays.
Confirmation bias.
Do you even know what that is?

Not to be a pain in the butt, Rocco, but da Vinci didn't name the Mona Lisa the Mona Lisa - that came later. Whistler didn't give his painting "Whistler's Mother" that title, either.
Look at it this way, Red Smith didn't write his own titles, either. So you're in good company.

Nice of the mods to edit my subject line. I thought we came here to avoid mods on power trips.
Not a power trip. Its big news and I wanted a clear headline, SEO, page views, etc.

It's almost as bad as when he begged Dagny to lock my game thread so he could take it over. That was back before the mods turned on him.

You know how "r" and "n" without a space looks kinda like "m"? (rn~m). At first I l thought "c" and "l" was kinda like a "d"....not that there's anything wrong with that.
Edit: all due respect, kicksave, just making a lame joke

"In fairness to (Johnston) part of this falls on me because I didn’t get the defensemen that were necessary to have more movement from the backend. More puck movement from the backend generates more scoring opportunities."
This quote should make it much easier for you to pick one up, Jim.
Based on our observations, Johnston had not lost the attention of the players. They were attentive to his instructions and respected him. During Dan Bylsma's final season as head coach in 2013-14, veterans would skip off-ice meetings. We saw little evidence of any players doing that under Johnston.
Interesting.

Sullivan says he's not much different from MJ. JR says he is. Whatever.

Which is what mikey has already mentioned, and is also the same thing I've been told about him.

This front office is a mess.
Surprising, given David Morehouse's lengthy track record of successfully running organizations.

Based on the media quotes from the past day or so, this is sounding like a serious warning shot to the players more than anything else.
Lovejoy: "We had a meeting this morning where both Jim Rutherford and Mike Sullivan spoke. They both said this to us. We need to be better as players."
Sullivan: "I'm a firm believer that players have to take ownership of the team."
Coach Sullivan: "There was a reason we worked on coming out of our end zone today. That will be a point of emphasis."
Sullivan on his meeting with the team: "I shared my philosophy as a coach and what I believe in -- about creating an identity as a group."

Yeah, good luck fixing that with the available personnel.
