Do you hear that rising drumbeat....?

Hopefully he's more Bill Zito than Paul Fenton.

 

[Islesfan22]

That should be linkable as well then

Very easy to look up yourself.

I wonder if he looks twice as smart when he wears those reading glasses

I did, and I'm not seeing it. Hence the question, genius.

I've not seen that comment from Staple. Can you post a link?

This is all I could find:





Edit:

Here's the first report I can find of the permission being granted. So Staple was 4 hour late on the news and was wrong in his initial post.

Thanks. I don't see anything wrong with his tweets with the exception of the editorial comment "which probably means he's not coming here." And even that is clearly his opinion, so that's fine.

I edited and added more context.

Again I am not advocating rushing a President/GM choice until the right guy is found, but still it is interesting...

Pope Leo chosen: May, 8 2025


Lou fired: April 22, 2025
New GM hired: ????

Certainly things seems to be pointing to Shanahan. I guess he'll be okay as President but I really want Darche as GM now.

The pope is chosen by God, the GM is selected by mere mortals.

Seems like that'd be the best outcome given the possibilities we've been presented.

So according to fables, it took god 6 days to build the entire universe, but...It took him days to simply "choose" an already existing human?


If we grade those "mere morals" in the Isles front office on a curve based on their very limited powers, I'd say if there was a god then I'd say he's actually making the Isles front office look pretty good.

As a Habs fan, I'm actually so happy I don't have to come on here to write my Marc Bergevin dissertation for all of you to cry over

WOW...

And actual announcement of Isles news from a reporter as opposed to the Isles twitter feed. How utterly refreshing.

Not my problem it’s there.

Don't hate the move. Hope he's not Paul Fenton redux...

Bingo.

The moment I heard Bergevin was a candidate I got depressed because when fans of teams a previous GM worked at didn't like him, it's pretty clear that person didn't do a good job.
