Out of the playoffs 2 years in a row
On the verge of letting the franchises player walk for nothing
Heading into next year without a starting goal tender
Coming off a season when they were the worst defensive team in years

Stanley Cup here we come!

Can I add that this team from top to bottom, from coach to management, really $uck$

How can anyone, (team owners) of sound mind, allow this to continue?

This is completely INSANE!

Always liked Botta. Has been the only one with the balls to go against Snow for a long time.

This was a very nice bounce back blog from Botta.

Very surprised Doug mentioned JT has to do better in his leadership role.

Can give a shat about the new arena. Whatever excitement that was there for it is long gone. Ledecky could build the best arena in the NHL but this dog of a team and it's crap, bush league GM and cronies will still be in charge or (frank) up the team enough before hand that they won't be competitive for the foreseeable future. Ledecky and Malkin have incredibly made this team an even bigger laughing stock around the league. Didn't think it were possible. At least they're good at something.

Well we have once again learned Snow has got BD Swallows balls in his back pocket.

More proof it's all about Belmont with Ledecky. He could not wait to leave the press conference today because it was not about Belmont. Did he really stand in the back of the conference after he spoke and watch Garth and Doug? Was that suppose to be a punishment for them?

So maybe Ledecky didn't take answers cause he didn't want to support these guy. Maybe he wants to wait till the playoffs are over and get applicants and say JT who do you like. He didn't support them he just walked away ......probably not the case but he could have said we support these guys not we failed everyone will be evaluated. maybe he knew he had to speak and this was his way of waiting till guys are available. Nah

I don't know about "supposed to" but it looked like punishment. Snow clearly didn't want to be there. Weight can't answer softball questions from Shannon so I'm sure he didn't want to face those guys.

Just seems Ledecky wanted them to face the music without him being up there. Just very strange actions if Ledecky is still onboard with Garth and Doug.

You beat my edit. The whole thing is strange and confusing. None of us have any idea what's really happening. We can only hope.

I know you think Im nuts but him not answering could be his way of avoiding questions on his support of these idiots and he wants to keep JT calm until they have other options. Or hes a mega vagina

Garth and Doug may be coming back, but I do not think it's close to 100%. Important to keep the pressure on Ledecky and Malkin. The billboards clearly rattled him.

Nothing can be ruled out at this point. JT has been given more than enough time and the owners are truly nuts if they let JT take this to 7/1 and keep Garth in charge.

If it goes past the playoffs then they are staying

They played in the outdated, roof leaking, 1 period piss break, asbestos riddled, congested as (frank) concourse coliseum for years and when the team was great the place was rabid and ravenous and loud as hell. It’s nice to have a New Arena which is well overdue however this Fan Base wants a winning team and would show up anywhere to a see a winning product.

Its almost like he had a plan and that plan changed before he went in there like something happened to change his mind. It was pretty weird. Haha

Saw this earlier on Twitter. Its a statement from the guys who started the billboard movement:
