  1. You don't think that the guy who openly stated that the fans were going to have to deal with some suffering wasn't on board with tanking?

     

    He also said near the end of the 2012-13 season, just before the suffering presser, that Terry would determine the extent of the rebuild. If Terry determined that over the summer, maybe it was more than Darcy expected when he said the following at the presser:

     

    “You could go to the bottom of the League for five years and hope you land on a Crosby or a Malkin, or the franchise can find something “in between” tanking and rebuilding on the fly. It may require some suffering”

     

    Darcy also talked about how the Kings rebuilt, by drafting high and then trading those players for established players.
     
    I'm still not sure why Darcy was fired. What did he do wrong? Or right?
  2. Has anyone seen or read any quotes from Darcy since he got run over by his own tank?

    Don't think he's ever commented on his firing - or anything at all since that day.

    Wait, what? Darcy got fired because he wanted to tank, and Terry didn't? Or he was tanking too much? Not enough? I guess I never really believed the tank was Darcy's idea, or that he was fired. I think the tank was too much for Darcy to stomach. Same for Lindy. And Millsie, Pommsie, Vansie and Ottsie.

  3. Brian WIlliams. Always figured he was an asshat of the highest order, given some of his celebrity performances that don't befit a news anchor. The scandal only confirms it. How can one possibly "misremember" being shot down in a helicopter?

  4. Not sure why he'd be there when Punch isn't, but that mystery man does have a passing resemblance to Sam Pollock - long time Habs GM.

    It's not Sam. It might be a member of the Sabres board of directors or someone from the Common Council or something. Wait, who was the Erie County Exec. in 1970?

     

    Edit: nope.

  5. And this: if you check out the film starting at about 28:55, you'll see video of the puck drop. It confirms that it's Campbell in the back. And the dude on the far left has to be Molson, because there are only six men out there besides the captains, and we know who everyone else is, except one, and that's not Molson. But. Who. The. . Is. He?
