Drury addresses media after TDL

[bleedblue94]

Agreed.

There's also a bit of gamesmanship here w Drury ALWAYS keeping his cards to his chest.

As you said, I don't agree with it but I could see Drury having the mindset of never wanting to talk because all it would do is give more info to his opponents.

Some poker players talk non stop and try to get a read on players.

Some just sit there & NEVER say a word w a blank stare no matter what... even if you pissed on their shoes.

100%

And Drury has shown himself to be the quiet one. In some ways I respect and agree with it from the standpoint of running a tight ship and being in a good place to not get played, but in today's world fans crave content. You almost wish there was an AGM that was a media savvy person who would come out and talk about things and yet the man with the hammer sat somewhere else in stealth. In some ways you can very much see Drury is from the Sather school, but he is much more disciplined with the moves he makes. He picks what he wants to do (right or wrong) and he is committed to making it work within HIS terms. I respect that.

Miller incident?

Anyway, looking forward to seeing the new people in the lineup tonight.

The racial slurs made by some troll in the comment field…

Its amazing they even televise the games. Christ.

Fans pay the highest ticket prices in the league and their GM addresses them and the media from a videoless baby monitor

Meanwhile, every team around the league releases a live Youtube stream event. What a novel idea

They suck. They’re waaaaaay behind the curve in their television productions as well.

Why am I not surprised

I have to believe the org is a little gun shy to live stream anything anymore after the Miller incident, and I have noticed with the rangers an increase effort recently to control why is out in the media by not streaming and only releasing clips. You can see this even at times with game day media availability. It just seems like an org or company philosophy shift. Not saying I agree with it though. I love the Canadian media exposure and at times rawness, it makes for a more intimate relationship between team and fan.

What was the Miller incident?

MSG and Rangers don’t care about that stuff. They rather print it out to see if their fans can read

Msg doesn't have money for that stuff nor do they even for their broadcasts. They Spent all the money on renovations so nothing left to broadcast hockey apparently.

The Rangers, as an org, has some of the worst fan services in all of sports. Its as if they resent we even exist.

You know they will always care more about the celebrity XYZ that are sitting in section 212 tonight
