Zebra clown show continues

Edit: every time I see that play for the King's it's interference. You skate into the crease with speed, there's contact, you accidentally fall into the goalie, that's on the attacking player otherwise gys would just run the goalie constantly, on accident.

I think he did a relatively good job with the scouting staffs.

Despite the ignorant takes on here (that also self contradict because some of you don't know how conspiracy theories are supposed to work) the Pro Scouting Staff is actually quite excellent.

The amateur scouting record I understand is more complicated and I'm not wading into that bullshit right now but suffice to say a lot of you really don't understand your own complicated conspiracies and just wanna be mad about everything all the time... which is fine.

But Blake DID help set the organizational philosophy about a lot of things.

I realize it's hard to separate him from Robitaille and now that Blake is gone and Luc remains it'll be easier to see which core Org behaviors stay and which cease and we'll never know the opposite.

I’ve always said it’s never as simple as we ‘feel’ it is. In my limited and let’s be honest not very relevant experience I was always aware that it was never exactly how the fans felt it was. That’s going to apply 1000x here as the organisational complexities are so much greater. Scouting for us was our coach knowing a guy, that knew a guy… a couple of agents and me helping the coach filter resumes when I dropped into the office after work. Not the same.

We can only comment on how it appears from our perspective and emotions often lead the way. Luc is/should be accountable at this stage for what’s happening because that’s his role and he’s overseen the last 10 years. He didn’t fire Blake so he must have felt he was doing a good job and Ken’s his guy also. I’ve always felt Blake took heat for a lot of stuff that was down to Luc, but I always acknowledge I don’t know that as a fact.

However regardless of the details, at this point, Luc should be 100% accountable for where things are at within hockey ops.

We were so blessed to lock in Derek Forbort as Doughty’s flavor of the year for one forgettable season. Totally worth losing McNabb to the Knights for nothing.

Why was BLuc so unlucky since minute zero?

Letting Kopitar and Doughty drive personnel decisions is one of the biggest reasons this organization has failed and is a joke. The #1 reason is the stupidity of Luc Robitaille.

last I heard, Kyle was living in Orange Park Acres and coaching youth hockey. I heard he was a good coach for the kids.
