Confirmed with Link: Is Glen Sather Stepping Down? [UPDATE: Yes]

[ETTER DE]

Wow, this is one of the most baffling posts I’ve ever read on this site in my 10 years of posting here.

Whew lad.

So you think it was a smart move by Gorton?

 

[ETTER DE]

Lol WTF is going on this thread?

Fire Gorton? Skjei was ruined because we bought out Girardi? Gorton was the problem to begin with? Lololollzzzzzz whaaaaaaaat

So you think is was a smart move by Gorton?

 

[ETTER DE]

But I'm almost positive "Israelian" isn't a word. It's Israeli.

Sorry about that. My english is not the best.

 

[ETTER DE]

Yeah but Paul Coffey said Marc Stahl sux and so did Ray Bourque. Then on the other hand Larry Robinson likes him a lot. Bobby Orr is non-commital on the topic....

I dunno who to believe anymore!?!?!

So listening to a Norris winner is bad?

Lmao which part?

Yes buying out Girardi was the right move. I can assure you, without being in the room, the Rangers did their due diligence in finding a trade partner for G, coupled with his NMC.

Girardi would not have helped and only hurt Skjei. And i love G, but that is the direction of his career. What he has done in TB is irrelevant because of the group they have there. Coburn has been able to extend his career there with that group.

Gorton has done a great job flipping this upside down in a short period of time. It was the right move(s).

And this coming from a huge supporter of signing Panarin

 

[Hi ImHFNYR]

Thats a funny narrative considering that team was decaying/would continue to decay even with God as the head coach.

It's not that funny if you were paying attention to how much AV sucked

Oh nvm didnt understand what u meant Thought you meant they traded him.

Now I realize you are assuming they tried to find a trade partner. I'm sure they did try btw. The way that is written though I was like "Ummm he was bought out, not traded"

 

[Hi ImHFNYR]

A Norris winner told me to build a rocket using scotch tape. He won a Norris so he must be right on everything, ever.

A Norris winner told me exactly who my draft picks should be for the next 3 NHL drafts. He won a Norris so he can't be wrong about any aspect of hockey, ever. In fact...why is this guy not my team's GM? With him tucked under my arm I could easily get an owner to give me their team so we can bring the franchise to the next 10 stanley cups before getting bored and moving on to instellar space travel again...I cede all control and autonomy to my Norris winner God

Now you made me feel like an asshole.

Skjei should have learned the game playing on the bottom pairing with Girardi. Girardis legs were gone, I agree, but he could have learned Skjei alot about defending. Staal and McDonagh was there to play on the top two pairs. Sadly Gorton signed two defenders in Smith and Shattenkirk who for the most parts were 3rd pairing guys on their previous teams. Shattenkirk was a PP specialist, but played behind Pietrangelo and Parayko. Gorton messed up the rebulid/retool on the fly with those moves. That he did not see that neither of those two could play on the top pairing with McDonagh is beyond excuses. Maybe I am harsh and overplaying it, but I have no trust in Gorton after that.

You have no faith because 2 moves haven’t worked out but a bunch of others have?

 

[ETTER DE]

Now you made me feel like an *******.

That was not the intention. Sorry. In fact I like to be corrected when I make some of these mistakes.Hopefully still not to old to learn

 

[GoAwayPanarin]

The last thing anyone should be doing is learning how to play defense from Dan Girardi.

Now you made me feel like an *******.

To be fair, you were one far before you made that comment

I think they were crucial. And they were the moves that forced the full rebuild. (They cost 11 million on the cap. Plus Girardi`s byout.) And I strongly believe that people who make them should be accountable. Sather and Gorton was probably to close. And the owner not on hands.

The owner was reportedly the one who called for the rebuild

 

[ETTER DE]

Then he should have fired Gorton before they started. Maybe I am old fashioned but I strongly believe that is the way to do it.

 

[GeorgeKaplan]

You see what you want to see I guess

 

[ETTER DE]

Don`t we all?

 

[ETTER DE]

Let me put it this way: Gorton praised Quinn for holding/making the players accountable. Why should it be different for the coaches/staff?

Or you just refuse to see where you're wrong and are doubling down on an opinion that seems to be based on only lending weight to a small amount of details that support it. All while ignoring the vast array of details that dont

Read my last post and give me a good answer. The least you can do.

It shouldn't, but you've yet to make a point that is remotely a good one in this thread.

Sour that they traded Zucc?

Who’s to say Dolan didn’t sit Gorton down i a meeting and ask “how are you going to fix this?” And even if he didn’t Gorton has done much more good than bad

 

[The Crypto Guy]

Well, there goes that.

JD, come on down!
