Jarmo Kekalainen says he will keep Terry up to date but he runs the hockey department and will make the hockey decisions. 

Please be true

Sounds like he and Terry had The Talk.

"He has some things in mind that will happen sooner than later"

Character being an important of the player evaluation has now come up multiple times.

"He can ask me questions." Jarmo on Terry. That seems to be where JK draws the line.

Let's hope that's the case. He was stammering a little through that answer.

"If I don't have the guts to say it to your face, don't say it at all" - Jarmo on how he is a straightforward guy with players and staff. 

[PASabreFan]

No, Paul, I'm a nonsense guy.

At least they have mics in the crowd this time.

Wonder who the leadership group is.

Everyone has a plan until they get punched in the mouth.

We're not going to sacrifice the future to end the drought.

Hoo boy.

That line has transcended several GMs now. It must be a Pegula line.

Yep. Not a good sign that anything has changed.

He basically said that winning makes things attractive but he will also work on spending to the cap and adding amenities. 

So he might be adding some palm trees to the player areas.

Typical Hamilton question feeding the answer in the form of his question. An example might be.

Wallace you really like it when Gromet puts cheese on your sandwich don't you. Well Paul since my whole enjoyment of life revolves around eating cheese I would have to say yes.

He’s impressive. And if he put on a fedora, he’d look a bit like Punch. I’m onboard the Jarmo train and there’s no looking back.

[#freejame]

He said some stuff I liked and some stuff I didn’t care for. Honestly, I don’t give many shits about words in a presser. I just want to win games so ***** bad. Please let this be the start of it. Please.

Maybe he should also put some palm trees in the players lounge? They've got some good sales going on right now 😂
