No reason to hate your interview, or Emerson.
Good interview and good questions.
Many here (and myself to a more mild degree) detest the old boy school, where former
teammates make up most of the dev team and front office. It is what it is and if the
Kings had a former goalie that would be a stud goalie coach, he would probably be the goalie coach! lol.
Good for Mike Buckley, there was no such former King goalie that qualified. As I get older, let some things go and this is one. It is what it is.
I am glad Nelson has at least held other positions and seems to have some passion for making a difference. One question I would love to have asked him "what exactly, does Marc Bergevin do?" or, if that comes off as too hot..."in your role, do you work with Marc Bergevin?" and let him expound. There has never been clarity of his role. Funny, not even Hoven has ever had him on. Maybe there's a clause in his contract to not have to face media. lol
Never once, have I heard Ast Coach DJ Smith do an interview or answer media after a game,
That seems odd. Why?
In all Summer interviews on all outlets, I never heard a word about Kirsanov's visit and if
there was any talk about him coming over (signing) after his KHL season,
Would love to know anything about that...even if it was nothing earth shattering.
