nucci Posted April 21, 2017 Report Share Posted April 21, 2017 I don't know, just like I didn't know who the hell McDermott was until...hell I still don't know who he is. But loose characteristics: "Tough" coach Defensive minded "Blue collar" Not flashy or brash, just "gets the job done" So, you know, Sutter probably. How are multi-millionaires considered blue collar?

I got him mixed up with Richards with the drugs Yea, the Richards thing was more of "Hey I was too stupid to use a compliance buyout on you, so now I'm going to move to terminate your contract for using opiods we probably helped get you hooked on."

TrueBlueGED Posted April 21, 2017 Report Share Posted April 21, 2017 (edited) How are multi-millionaires considered blue collar? great question Though there is a (strong) correlation between them, "blue collar" is typically used to refer to type of work and extent of formal education required, not necessarily the money such a job results in. Gross oversimplification incoming: physically demanding jobs not requiring a college degree = blue collar; desk/management jobs requiring a degree = white collar.

pi2000 Posted April 21, 2017 Report Share Posted April 21, 2017 I think, like someone upthread said, I could live with Lombardi as long as he hires a coach thats not "old school" coach. However, I'm pretty sure we're going to get the hockey version of Sean McDermott. You mean Chan Gailey.

dudacek Posted April 21, 2017 Report Share Posted April 21, 2017 John Shannon reporting Mike Gilles is interested in the GM Job Mike Gillis was an absolutely train wreck as the Canucks GM who is directly responsible for the mess the team is in. Look at the players on their roster (or drafted by the Canucks) between the ages of 24 and 30. That's on Gillis. He's also a prickly, divisive personality. No. NO. NO!

GASabresIUFAN Posted April 21, 2017 Report Share Posted April 21, 2017 don't even joke about Keenan...Lombardi is going to be the man...either president and/or GM I like Lombardi. His mistakes were the ones all GM's make keeping the machine running and that was locking the core up to deals that extend past the players prime and trading away picks at the deadline to fix holes on the team to make another run at a Cup. Bowman, Holland, Shero etc. have all done the same thing. I wouldn't mind Lombardi coming in as Hockey President and hiring a Drury as GM and protege. Lombardi is only 59 and maybe isn't ready to be kicked upstairs Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WildCard Posted April 21, 2017 Author Report Share Posted April 21, 2017 @johnnymclean13 Just saw Scotty Bowman having lunch with Terry Pegula at the airport #Sabres That's just some fan so I'm just going to assume this is garbage, but I thought I'd share it because of the Chicago AGM rumblings Indeed it was, and I too would be fine with Lombardi/Drury as the brain trust. I mean, why Drury? He literally hasn't done anything. If he hadn't played here, and left us, would this even be a conversation? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
