Confirmed with Link: Ducks fire Greg Cronin

[Mr Rogers]

I can't wait to listen to those podcasts and press conferences if so

 

[Smirnov2Chistov]

Quoting from the Bruins board, for those interested, sounds like Cronin may be in the mix for their coaching job.

It’s Boston, they are a trash organization anyway

 

[Big Fat Rebound]

Cro might be in the old boys club that easily. It's the only thing that explains it

Seems that way. Takes forever for the career minor leaguers to crack the inner circle, but once you’re in the first time, you’re in for at least a second shot as a cyclical retread (though if Cronin fails again at the level he did here, he won’t get a third)

 

[Lord Flashheart]

I think healthy Bruins have bit too much talent for good lottery odds, but can't fault them for trying to land McKenna.

 

[Hey234]

Well, if we know one thing Cronin is really good at, it is planned interviews. To that poor and unfortunate team, may the odds be ever in your favor.

 

[Deuce22]

Hey, Boston, are you interested in a PP coach with a good head of hair and white board skills?

 

[Anaheim4ever]

Maybe they’re bringing him in to be a tank commander

Maybe if he doesn't get the job they'll hire him as a janitor and in Cronin's mind he'll be working his way up from Janitor to GM of the Boston Bruins in 3 years.

I can just see him power washing the locker room stalls of sweat stank and muttering "how ya like dem apples...how you like dem apples...how you like"

I can't wait to listen to those podcasts and press conferences if so

I’m gonna need some closed caption to understand some of those Boston accents.

 

[All Mighty]

 

[Mr Rogers]

Definitely will be tuning in to that

 

[Big Fat Rebound]

Should be noted that this is the podcast of the guy who brokered the “the Ducks’ job is Quenneville’s if he wants it” rumor. I’m sure they could bring that up and ask him in the context of him getting screwed

 

[Mr Rogers]

I'm curious how much ill will there is from Cro. I could see him having quite a bit, but not sure it'll come across in this podcast.

 

[KelVarnsen]

"Why did the Ducks let you go?"

"I don't know"

"What did Pat discuss with you about letting you go?"

"I don't know"

"Why did your PP and PK suck so bad?"

"I don't know but the players drank from a firehouse and I hate Zegras"

"Do you think Dostal and Gibson were the only reason the team improved in the standings?

"I don't know."

"Did you like being the head coach for the Ducks?"

"I don't know"

Etc.......

 

[Mr Rogers]

Cro is on from the start fyi. talking now

 

[dracom]

"Why did the Ducks let you go?"

"I don't know"

"What did Pat discuss with you about letting you go?"

"I don't know"

"Why did your PP and PK suck so bad?"

"I don't know but the players drank from a firehouse and I hate Zegras"

"Do you think Dostal and Gibson were the only reason the team improved in the standings?

"I don't know."

"Did you like being the head coach for the Ducks?"

"I don't know"

Etc.......

Honestly took me until the third question to realize these weren’t real quotes

 

[Mr Rogers]

Pat told Cronin that it was like taking a hose and blasting away all the algae when referring to the changes he wanted him to make at the start

 

[Mr Rogers]

Said in his first year there were a lot of rejecters and negotiators in response to his new style

This feels like a support group and it's making me sad.

This feels like a support group and it's making me sad.

The interview? Like they are commiserating with Cro? I'm at work and can't listen.

 

[Mr Rogers]

Cro is pretty bummed, feels like, and understandably so. Kind of listing some accomplishments - point increase, 20 goal scorers, -6 even strength. Says PP/PK just really dragged them down. Mentioned how they only added Dumo and Fabbri last year

 

[Static]

The interview? Like they are commiserating with Cro? I'm at work and can't listen.

Yes, this is a grieving process that he is going through.

 

[Mr Rogers]

Pierre "Christopher Pronger" McGuire just joined haha. Was at Shero's funeral i think

 

[Mr Rogers]

Cro does have an unbelievable ability to recall specific games and events. Talking about the big win in Edmonton and how their only goals were on the PP

 

[Big Fat Rebound]

This feels like a support group and it's making me sad.

This is actually an incredibly interesting POV of the entire situation. Because if these guys are on good terms (Murphy is based out of Boston I think), what better way to plant a flag for your friend than that his ex-employer is seriously pursuing the most controversial figure in hockey circles?
