[Leetch3]

tom wilson legit murdered our whole franhise...RIP the future

 

[LOFIN]

So is this for them not backing up the statement? If so, good.

 

[bleedblue94]

Ridiculous that this happens and some people's first reaction is to wonder if ADA is coming back. Jesus...

 

[thethirdhockeyman91]

WTF? so some dumb college kid intern posted it without the team's consent I'm assuming. lmfao

 

[mas0764]

This is how organizations ruin their futures.

I don't know what has happened but this is a shit show.

 

[Hire Sather]

So Tom Wilson just destroyed two of our best players and cleaned out our front office

Wow. This is unbelievable and I can't help but think how happy Caps fans are

Tom Wilson destroyed our organization

 

[17futurecap]

David Quinn outlasted JD and Gorton, definitely had that happening lol.

 

[NYRKING30]

What the f***?!?!?

 

[Turin]

And people thought Wilson went to Rutherfords head.

 

[DanielBrassard]

LOL what in the f***. If JD and Gorton were distancing themselves from the letter than Dolan really didn't have much of a choice though. What a chaotic mess of a season this has been.

 

[Calad]

I dont understand. Either they were skirting responsibility or Bettman gave Dolan an ultimatum

 

[Cheapshot]

 

[Anzi]

Haven't been a fan of Gorton's decisions re-signing Kreider and trading for Trouba so I'm fine with this. Quinn has to be gone too right?

 

[Circus86]

This is why we can't have nice things

 

[Chaels Arms]

Bettman put the hit out after that statement.

Darth Vader needed to show everyone who was boss.

Dolan is a coward.

 

[Glen Sathers Cigar]

Holy shit...sounds like Dolan got an angry phone call from Bettman

Actually I wonder if the league/Dolan asked JD and Gorton to take back the statement and they refused so they got fired

Actually I think Dolan was the driver of the statement they put out and he got word JD and Gorton were distancing themselves from it and Dolan didn't like that lack of loyalty.

Absolutely wild.


The rebuild was going so well and then this season has been one huge clusterf***.

 

[OverTheCap]

James Dolan strikes again. Why couldn't he just stick to interfering with the Knicks?

 

[ColonialsHockey10]

Oh my god. Are you f***ing serious????

 

[SnowblindNYR]

My favorite part is how Quinn is still here. LMAO!

 

[Glennsoe]

Nyr - the gift that keeps on giving..

 

[mas0764]

okay now it makes sense if that’s the case.

I respect the decision now.

I don't get it.

So what, fired for lack of control over their underlings?

 

[Jaromir Jagr]

Wow. Really hard to believe if that tweet is true. Basically Dolan is on the high ground and Gorton and JD are refusing to back him up. Definitely would have assumed it'd be the other way around, but makes it much easier to stomach if this is correct.

 

[DanielBrassard]

Haven't been a fan of Gorton's decisions re-signing Kreider and trading for Trouba so I'm fine with this. Quinn has to be gone too right?

Not so sure if Drury is the GM, but it certainly opens up the possibility.

 

[Taluss]

Seems contradictory to the link I just posted...

Edit; nvm I read the previous link wrong. I assumed they were saying that was why the firing happened
