The statement reads as follows:

"For the past three years, I have carried out my duties as Head Coach and Vice President of Hockey Operations for the Colorado Avalanche with energy, passion and determination.

I have thought long and hard over the course of the summer about how I might improve this team to give it the depth it needs and bring it to a higher level. To achieve this, the vision of the coach and VP-Hockey Operations needs to be perfectly aligned with that of the organization. He must also have a say in the decisions that impact the team's performance. These conditions are not currently met.

Today, I am informing you of my decision to leave the Colorado Avalanche organization. Though it saddens me, I have put much thought about this decision in recent weeks and have come to be fully comfortable with it.

I am grateful to the Colorado Avalanche organization, with which I remain in good terms, for letting me lead this great team. I thank all the players I have had the pleasure of coaching and the fans for their unwavering, unconditional support.
I remain forever loyal to the Avalanche with which I played 478 games, coached another 253, and won two Stanley Cups."

Gotcha
Different GM though
If anything,

I'm down for the cause. Make America GREAT again. Saw last night that some DNC correspondent was mysteriously murdered about a month ago. Did anyone hear about that? I didn't. Probably because the leftwing media didn't think it was news worthy. The owner of Wiki leaks was on some Dutch news station and brought that up without being asked. When asked if he was a source for obtaining Hillary's e-mails, he said he would never reveal his sources. Very strange. Who the F knows how deep that rabbit hole goes and who dares to find out, doesn't come out.

They should put mirrors in the voting booths. That way everyone who casts a vote for Hillary can take a look afterward and see how they feel about themselves.
