Roster/Rumors/Speculation/Trade Talk - 2023-24: Hotel California

*legally and ethically

That was understood but for example, if I wanted to pay my best people more and work them OT and cut the worst people back or out, I had that freedom as long as I came in on budget and in their words "made them money"

 

[redbull]

when i worked in business i was taught a valuable lesson.....results are ALL that matter

i was told to by the owners to make sure there was a plus sign in black ink on the bottom right corner NOT a minus sign in red ink and they told me "they didn't give a shit how i did it"

whatever gets the job done to a satisfactory result is the correct process

not in Lou's world.

Shave those side-burns Mattingly ! MYWAY

Thankfully this was mid 80s. These guys had their quirks but treated me well and let me do what I did to their (and my) benefit

 

[Mike C]

More Canadian icons, and maybe even more surprised you know THEM than the Hip. Not a huge fan, but did see them live in '90 while at uni.. don't remember much now except for the keyboard player - pretty sure he was on coke, speed and acid.. Never seen a keyboardist before or since with that much energy.. LOL

Rocked out to some Moist last night. 90s band fronted by David Usher. I actually like Usher's solo stuff better. Softer melodies deeper lyrics

If you ran a fancy restaurant would you hire a waitress with a nose ring, Tyson-like facial tattoos and piercings in their eyebrows?

Just a matter of where you draw the line. No one is forced to play hockey.

 

[MJF]

Thanks for coming. Arrive home safely.

Yeah. They just gotta be down low with their deviance. This way you can get the Parcells/Ewbank type boss to sign off on all the drinking, carousing, and drug usage.

JUST SHOW UP READY TO PLAY

And thanks...


FOR NOTHING!

I you missed my point. Mike C said "Results is what matters, regardless of how." But in Lou's world, its also commitment to the process, the team, the short hair and no facial hair - it's a culture that isn't about the results.

I have no opinion on Lou's rules. I get why he has them.

Not important enough to discuss further, just clarifying.

Caddy shack line.

Caddy shack line.

Actually I heard Weeb say that about Joe Willie. Said he had his fun but was studious in film room and always showed up prepared and ready

Simpson's reference?

 

[MarsTBOW]

I think Lou should make a deal for a winger sooner than later. I said as soon as our D stops scoring we will sink.... We must fill Beau's/Bailey's spot with someone who can skate and snipe. If not, we drift back to a bubble team...

Or said another way.

We are a bubble team and drifted away and now things are returning to normal

 

[iggy]

Where is Raty? He did not play for Bridgeport tonight. Could something be up ?

[Foppberg]

According to Friedman at the intermission of the Leafs game, the Canucks are giving Boeser's agent permission to speak to other teams.

C'mon down Lou Lou.

He's sleeping. It's 9pm on a Saturday!

Boeser has really fallen off and he's been playing hurt all year

 

[Mike C]

As he peruses the map on where we wants to relocate to, Elmont NY may not rank high on the list

 

[Foppberg]

Boeser has really fallen off and he's been playing hurt all year

Yeah, but... he'd be cheap. And the talent is still there.

 

[seafoam]

Bailey for Boeser.

Non covid illness

Boeser has 3 years left on his contract, so the GM isn't giving his agent permission to talk to other teams about an extension. It's more like the GM can't find anyone willing to make a deal so he's seeing what the agent can do. You know, like JHS.

 

[Mike C]

Yeah, but... he'd be cheap. And the talent is still there.

He has 3 goals. He can be a lightning rod for the Board and commiserate with the man we lovingly (well, most of us) refer to as Capades

Could be that he's doing him a favor and letting be in on picking his destination.

I heard after the new year, the Hawks will show that respect to Kane and Toews also

Could very well be, But if we got One Legit Sniper, we turn into a very dangerous team
