Gainey was one of these former players who apparently knew how much extra it takes and thats why he had to be GM and then many of you guys crapped on him.

Do you think when Holland leaves the Wings eventually that the first thing they'll do is go looking at their 90's roster and call every explayer to see if they want the job?

Whoever does that is clueless!

*Hopes new GM wants to make a name for himself and picks some obscure talent from Norway with first pick*

Doesn't Israel have an up and coming Hockey league that could really benefit from one of their players being picked in the first round.

Anyone else watching the press conference?

All the McGuire haters shoud take confort from the fact that Savard will help consult Molson. He will not favor McGuire. It will probable be a former Hab and he will speak french. Savard is a big believer in the language.

Best guy for the job + french assistant

*knows it won't happen*

I take Comfort in the fact that he is "always" a candidate for the last 19 years but no one ever asks him back for a second interview.

(frank), there are some good questions being asked, but every once in a while some (frank) face chimes in with "so is he gonna be french?"


Sacrament.

bye bye Gomez and Kaberlol.

Let's begin the speculation, who's the most likely to be hired? For me it's looking like Brisebois
