Montreal just cleaned house, canning Marc Bergevin and two other high level hockey ops guys.

That doesn't include Sharks game, yet.

So like, is 8 the magic number? Sharks had 7, the HC, and three guys from the Cuda in the same week and that's totally fine, but one more and they would've postponed games? I'm fine with how it turned out, but it definitely looks weird that the league left the West Coast team to figure it out and has now given two EC teams a week off to recover.

And the AGM resigned before he could be fired.

The word I'm hearing in various podcasts is that it's the medicals that call a need for break due to "uncontrolled outbreak".

 

[The Nemesis]

And the AGM resigned before he could be fired.

I heard it wasn't that he was going to be fired, it was that he wanted a shot at replacing Bergevin and when the Habs top brass said that wasn't happening he decided it wasn't worth sticking around. He may still have ended up in this round of firings, but it wasn't necessarily fait accompli

'Kind of surreal': How college student Jett Alexander became the Avalanche's temporary emergency backup goalie

Paywall. Fun story of EBUG used by Avalanche last night until their called up replacement could arrive.

Good for him. This Olympics is going to be a crazy situation, and I'm glad to see him making the best decision for himself as a human being. I hope it empowers others to put their own health first, mentally or physically.

Congratulations to #SharkForever Tony Granato

And new guy

I want to congratulate.... The Fans of the San Jose Sharks! For this Wonderful Move! I hope the new guy is good at his job.

 

[LadyStanley]

Now he has a history. Perhaps sharks will get more benefit of the doubt if he takes out a player.

As long as Parros is in office, the Sharks are never getting the benefit of the doubt
