Skating makes a lot of problems go away.You just need a team that can skate to play that way. The Hawks roster was slow as f***, and lazy. So it was doomed from the start.
He will end up having a successful coaching career elsewhere, is my guess.
Bowman signed Kempny, Rutta as free agents…traded Clendening for Forlsing…Forsling is a perfect example of why it takes most Dmen a while to reach their potential. As a rookie, he looked like a guy who would pack it in and return to Europe to play an easier game.

Yeah a big part of why we liked him when he played for the Hawks was because he was our idiot.Shaw being an idiot isn't news.
We’ve now gone to the other extreme where LR plays the same system as my nephews in Timbits.He wanted to play positionless hockey. Every coach at every level does. The problem is you need six intelligent mobile defenders with puck skills and twelve intelligent defensively responsible forwards that can skate.
At this level it works great if you are making up Team Canada. Practically it's just not possible.
In theory you have six Lindstrom's playing with twelve Federov's. Good f***ing luck making that work.
Think part of that had to do with lack of scoring talent and only way to stay in gamesWe’ve now gone to the other extreme where LR plays the same system as my nephews in Timbits.
It’s machismo bullshit. If Shaw was drugged it would have had no effect on him? Shaw’s an idiot.Just listened to the full interview, he’s saying in a similar situation he would have handled it differently or wouldn’t have been in it to begin with. I am sure many contemplate the same scenario and think they would have handled it differently. It’s his opinion, I didn’t see any malicious victim blaming.
No, he never gave any letter of recommendation at all. The report showed that nothing like that existed nor did Aldeixh use one for any of his jobs.Shaw and Chris Nilan basically having Coach Qs back…
Quennevilles’ interview with Bettman was VERY VERY short…he denied knowing anything, then admitted to it, he gave rhe scumbag Aldrich a letter of recommendation…not the team, as was incorrectly stated, Coach Q
Beach was drugged?It’s machismo bullshit. If Shaw was drugged it would have had no effect on him? Shaw’s an idiot.
Victim blaming aside I wonder if this has any insight to read between the lines of how the locker room viewed the event
I get it. I’m with you. I do hope it opens up conversation in the interest of understanding the locker room perspective. Clearly they didn’t understand how traumatic or malicious it was for example based on the rumor.Shaw is honestly a piece of shit. He talks about living with Beach, talks about the guy lending him money, paying his rent, buying his groceries before he got a check. And then right after says "I don't have anything against Kyle" and proceeds to victim blame. I lost so much respect for Shaw in that podcast. f*** him.
Roenick threw away a career. Guys are stupid.Not sure how you even end up in this situation as a person. Like how does Shaw put himself in this position on that podcast. Even if I TRULY believed what Shaw was saying, I wouldn’t be dumb, or unaware enough, to open my mouth about it.
These guys truly are morons
