I know what you are trying to do. Why don't you try The Waitresses' "Merry Christmas" on for size?

 

[kingsholygrail]

I'm more of a "Police Stop My Car" kind of guy around the holidays.

Remember when New Jersey was going to be a contender this year?

Renaud Lavoie said that it was due to something in a personal nature.


not team related apparently

Darren Dreger added that a source told him the situation was bad enough that the Stars felt they had no choice but to immediately fire the coach. The Stars received a phone call about an incident that took place a few days earlier but Nill couldn’t divulge who that call was from.

whatever it was, it was reported to the STars on Sunday nite and they acted quickly

Dallas Stars Make Unexpected Move, Fire Head Coach Jim Montgomery

Jim Nill being questioned at the presser

But as the microphones were passed around the media in attendance, there were a lot of questions left without direct answers.
What was the act of unprofessionalism?

“I’m not going to discuss the act. Unfortunately, we can’t. That’s where I stand on that comment.”

Why can’t you discuss it?
“It’s out of respect for everyone involved. As I mentioned per my statement, we decided it was unprofessional, so a decision had to be made.”

What did the investigation entail?
“We went through all the records and the information we received. This all came to light on Sunday and once I received all the information, we sat down to digest everything. We talked to general counsel and made our decision.”

Yeah this will remain one of the great life mysteries I’m sure.

So it wasn't criminal... But so terrible you had to fire the guy the moment you heard about it. Musta said something racist.

You were a mod once, so I'm sure you don't need to be told that if you don't like someone's posts, you can ignore them.

Nah, they can eat shit in goalieless hell for the entirety of McDavid’s career.

The Pacific is so bad

Can’t trust a goalie that wears #19. He’d rather be a center

haha wasn't a comment directed at anybody but pure out of the air speculation on why he was fired. Not really a fair thing to put out there.

It’s a hockey related decision. How many coaches has Doug Wilson fired now?

 

[Choralone]

I think they have to finish breaking up that overpaid core. They missed their window.

DeBoer is a decent coach. San Jose needs to retool and find a number one goalie.

Cali teams are long in the tooth. Maybe LA was will get the jump on the other two.

I thought PDB was a prime candidate to get fired if the Sharks didn't have a good start. Thought he might have saved himself once the Sharks started turning the corner, but I guess it wasn't enough. And to be fair to him I don't think Wilson gave him as strong roster this year as previous years.

 

[tny760]

we have to clarify nowadays that it was just a hockey decision

disgusting

I had a good chuckle about it. Almost makes it sound like it wasn't just with how they insist it was a normal firing(which it is).

Sharks roster is pretty terrible no doubt. Not sure how Wilson has a job honestly.
