News Article: Penguins Sale Possible This Week

[Night Shift]

Where the Boston Red Sox revenue stream falls into MLB and where the Penguins fall into the NHL are not the same

Yeah, and?

@ronduguayshair has an opportunity to be the guy that makes crazy signs.

Seems like every team has a sign guy at every arena. Someone needs to step up here

ever sit behind a sign guy? It sucks. Like the hulk hogan guy. He made the game about himself. He sucked imo. Sideshow

I’m a season ticket holder, but I am on www.hfboards.com the whole game making fun of the keyboard experts

I was talking about the Penguins side of things...Ownership.

 

[Pens x]

I guess the new management team hasn’t watched the team play this year.

 

[Alicat]

Don’t the Red Sox already have a AAA team like in Pawtucket?

HAHAHA. Ouch.

They moved them to Worcester this season and rebranded them the WooSox. Also built Polar Park as well

 

[harmonica]

Oh man, as a Sox fan who has seen a Henry run organization, good luck...

Get ready for penny pinching and being subjugated to a 2nd thought when he gets his next shiny new toy.

Fair warning, his wife is the worst. She's the ultimate self important gold digger who sticks her nose in everything

This is such a weird take and sounds like uniformed gossip. Henry and his wife have been massively successful owners of the Red Sox and Liverpool. The Sox have the most World Series wins since 2000. The last part just makes you come off as some incel woman hater. Cringe af.

The only thing they know about hockey is that they pay Jeremy Jacobs every month for his stake in NESN and that they held a Winter Classic at Fenway and it made them millions of dollars.

 

[harmonica]

So many terrible takes in this thread from what are most likely the most spoiled Boston/New England area fans who have no understanding of sports management.

 

[Jamison]

I also hope the billionaires treat us well

Don't hold your breath. Long time Boston resident/Sox and Bruins fan. John Henry is cheaping out as RSox ownership found a way to get under the luxury tax. They hired nerd Chiam Bloom from Tampa Bay as GM, signed a bunch of also-rans and let Mookie Betts go.

Believe me, I'm not optimistic about the Bruins either - we've got our own cheap ownership and awful GM, draft-wise. But I wouldn't expect much from John Henry. He just wants to own stuff and make as much money as possible.

Our mod @Fenway can attest that what was said about Linda Henry is true

Here is more info on her running the Boston Globe.

Uh uh - Sox ownership swung whichever way the wind blew, sometimes signing big name players to boost NESN revenue and other times bringing in idiot managers like Bobby Valentine to blow the team up. Whichever way the wind blows. Right now the wind is blowing cheap. Don't expect much.

You're spot on about that.

The Globe, which used to be a good paper, is her toy. Keeps her busy.

That article in no way supports your claims. Keep reaching.

Linda is one of the most powerful persons in Boston - and she lets everyone know that.

Red Sox have won 4 World Series under his watch.

 

[edog37]

Lemieux has been looking to sell almost since he bought the team.

He only bought the team because he didn’t want to lose the millions he was owed in bankruptcy court.

He wanted to save the team and all, but it was always about recouping what he was owed.

Just smart business on his end, but he was never in this for the long haul.

Things changed when they got Crosby, so he just rode the money train and now it’s time to get off.

he’ll remain on as a minority owner

 

[Pens1566]

he’ll remain on as a minority owner

I bet he's still cashing out the majority of his share.

 

[SomeDude]

So, the biggest complaint is that he’s found a way to keep the Red Sox competitive while not overspending?

Re: Geno and Letang

These are owners with deep-ish pockets. They are buying the team for money reasons. I imagine the sale price is tolerable and the future revenues make sense. They don't want to tank their brand name with the current and future fan base. One way to do that is not to bring back franchise generational talent Malkin and your franchise #1D who have been lifelong Penguins.

Those two are coming back. I would eat my shoe if they didn't.

don’t know if this was posted earlier because I haven’t read this thread but…From the Athletic article, according to Rossi (yes, not exactly a credible source lol), Penguins sources have told him Fenway Sports Group favors re-signing Malkin and Letang….

 

[Night Shift]

To Boston fans, You guys realize the Pirates have a 20 million payroll and owned by Bob Nutting right? 30 plus years futility.

You arent impressing us with any Doomsday prophecy.

I have no issues with that. Business is business.

competitive in this case also means the team that won the most World Series during the time period Henry has been the owner. Boston sports fans are spoiled brats.

He’s won 4 championships on the cheap. Arrrrrrghhhhhh
