Sources say that #NYR president John Davidson and GM Jeff Gorton scurried to distance themselves from the team statement that was issued on Tuesday night, telling other executives that they did not know it was in the works until after it was released.

@FriedgeHNIC
Like many of you, I assume this had to do with the events of the past 48 hours. I don’t believe Davidson/Gorton had anything to do with last night’s NYR statement; it was Dolan-driven....(1/2)

@FriedgeHNIC
However, there is word Dolan was unhappy with this NYR season and wanted to make a change. Seems crazy to me, because they have a come a long, long way in two years...but he’s the owner.

Sounds like they are about to hire Chuck Fletcher to finish this rebuild the right way! Right Philly?!

I always thought Jeff Gordon was known for being the fastest one around the track

Lou Foligno is faking, that way they can bring Andersen back and move Lou to LTIR.

Smrt

I think they can do it by putting Hyman on LTIR retroactively.

re Gorton...from his wiki page..

In his time as interim general manager of the Bruins, Gorton most notably ran the 2006 NHL Entry Draft which produced for the Bruins Phil Kessel, Milan Lucic and Brad Marchand. At the same draft, Gorton traded goaltender Andrew Raycroft to the Toronto Maple Leafs for goalie prospect Tuukka Rask.[3] Raycroft was coming off a subpar season and his two-year stint in Toronto would prove disastrous, with the Leafs buying him out of the final year of his contract.[4] Rask, meanwhile, had been selected in the first round of the 2005 NHL Entry Draft by Toronto and went on to win the Vezina Trophy as the league's best goaltender in the 2013-14 season.[5]Rask has also led the Bruins to two Stanley Cup Finals appearances; in 2013 and 2019. On July 1, Gorton signed Zdeno Chara and Marc Savard as free agents. Chara would go on to win the Norris Trophy in 2009 as the NHL's best defenseman while under the contract signed by Gorton.

On July 15, 2006, he re-assumed his assistant general manager duties when Peter Chiarelli was hired as permanent general manager. He was dismissed, along with respected scout Daniel Doré on June 27, 2007.


did all the heavy lifting, then Chia walks in and reaps the rewards

Time is a funny thing.

Mr T wasn’t even Mr C or Mr D when I was watching those shows, which were far better anyway.

Did Knight Rider have a guy who could spin 10 plates at once or the first time to see the Beatles or Stones? Nobody needed to do coke to split rails or find a missing calf on the Ponderosa and All in the Family was one of the most subversive shows in history.

If you ever want to have fun, ask a Canucks fan how they feel about naming a leadership trophy after Mark Messier.

That theme song and Sweet Caroline are the two songs best suited to get a drunk Canadian to sing along.

Every time my friends think someone just said something that's a lie or exaggeration, we sing The Green Forest theme. Not sure how it started.
