Confirmed with Link: Brind'Amour named head coach

[Surrounded By Ahos]

It's not the ones made with apps that should creep you out. At least with those, it's got the app watermark on it so it's understood that it's not real.

It's the ones on Facebook or Twitter with no attribution that are the real problem

Oh, most definitely. The wombo.ai ones are more of an uncanny valley unsettling creepy.

The thought of people making stuff like 'here is X politician saying Y terrible thing' and presenting it as real is pretty terrifying.

Considering people already believe politicians don’t say things that they are clearly seen on tape saying now, I doubt it changes a damn thing.

Court business is going to become fun. You'll need a witness to vouch for the legitimity of the video evidence. "Yes, I was there, I saw this happen, but it was the other guy that in reality did that."

So the we didn't get the music and the reality-TV, but we got the lying media in cahoots with the state officials and this stuff.

We've been had.

 

[Blueline Bomber]

How many players have we brought in that have said the same thing? RBA is exactly what this franchise needed, and it’ll be a damn shame if he’s not (at least) in the running for the Adams.

 

[Lempo]

Totally worth the extra seventeen dollars.

Totally worth the extra seventeen dollars.

I hear that was Dundon's opening offer.

 

[HisIceness]

I hear that was Dundon's opening offer.

For Rod he took it, for his love of the Carolina Hurricanes there is no value too great or too small.

 

[hblueridgegal]

Happy Anniversary!

 

[HisIceness]

Happy Anniversary!

I still remember shaking my head in digust and rolling my eyes when someone at work told me the news. I had an inkling it was coming but didn't want to believe it, ditto Waddell too.

Let's just say, I've never been more happy to be wrong.

 

[CandyCanes]

Surprised none of y’all shared this. We’re so freaking fortunate to have Rod. That’s a huge hometown discount right there.

WILD GUESS. HE WANTED OTHER MEMBERS OF THE STAFF SIGNED AND HE MIGHT HAVE SPREAD SOME OF THE MONEY AMONG THE REST OF THEM.

WILD GUESS. HE WANTED OTHER MEMBERS OF THE STAFF SIGNED AND HE MIGHT HAVE SPREAD SOME OF THE MONEY AMONG THE REST OF THEM.

This is exactly what he would do. He's set for life, his staff isn't, need them all to win, especially since every team with sense will be gunning for that staff.

I wonder if Dundon is putting equity in the equation, frankly. If Brindy is the Hurricanes, why shouldn't he have a piece of them?

Friedman reporting via twitter that the deal is done. $1.8M per for 3 years (Seravelli says not inked yet so.......)

Big bucks I know, but it looks like Coach is taking a home team discount versus going rate!

Sara Civ is saying those inside reports are wrong on the number

Tortorella (who I think is a fair comparison) was on a $2 million deal so it's not like it's that much of a discount. Honestly, looking at some other head coach salaries, many of them seem far overpaid.

CapFriendly has Torts at $2.5m, Paul Maurice comes in at $3m, David Quinn $2.4, Tippett $2.75.

Lot's of unknowns, but at the upper end Laviolette is getting $4.9, Vigneault $5, and Quenneville $5.25. Compared to those guys, Trotz seems like a relative bargain at $4m.

Whatever it is, I hope it makes Handsom Rod happy.

 

[Svechhammer]

As it damn well should be

Where things currently stand per RBA.

This is a distraction in a fire in a barrel

[Blueline Bomber]

Two more wins in the next 12 to break the record for most wins in the first 500. Hopefully they'll come easier than this 300th one did

 

[Surrounded By Ahos]

13 of those wins were against New Jersey.
