I'm kind of surprised that aspect hasn't been used more as a taunt. Guess the "big bad" rep trumped it. But what do I know, I loved the red black and white Sabres jerseys and I know not many people are with me on that one. Bruin just means bear. https://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/bruin A baby bear is a cub. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I guess you're right, it's a "folk" term, but I was sure I'd seen it used as more of a soft cuddly teddy bear type reference but no matter, just a bunch of big hairy gay men anyway.

It's too much for one guy. Rutherford has said he has a list of 40 GM candidates to consider. JBot likely just one of those. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dudacek Posted December 14, 2021 Report Share Posted December 14, 2021 Never mind the title, Karmanos’ role in Vancouver would be pretty much identical to his role in Buffalo, no? One would think a move would have to pretty much come down to his relationship with Adams versus his relationship with Rutherford, and the degree of investment he has in the work and the people so far here.

It just sounds like a number someone would throw out without actually knowing how many candidates there are or hasn’t yet bothered to do the work to even determine how many candidates there are.

Well, to get Botterill back onto the "short" list, would make sense the list is actually pretty long. 😉 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
