January 11, 20214 yr Well, that was a turnaround from last week to this week. From Doug being retained as HC to Doug being sacked. Makes you wonder what the Hell went on in those meetings, if the reports are true Lurie wasn't happy with Doug's vision/decisions, if he did give him a 2nd chance, if Doug did come up with an alternate plan/ideas or if he didn't and wanted things his way and if Lurie either heard him out or just said "That's it. We're done here". Well, it hasn't hit ESPN yet, but good news for hockey fans is Milbury is out as NBC hockey analyst.
January 11, 20214 yr You've gotta be pushing all the chips in for Daboll if you're Lurie. Just...has to be....

January 11, 20214 yr I give Lurie credit. That was a hard decision to make, but he did it and I think it was the right one to do. Not a lot of owners would have done that.
January 11, 20214 yr Well, this is a start but just a half measure. Usually doesn’t fix anything. Now time to bash my head into the wall and read nothing but Eric Bieniemy should be coach here.

I am going to let myself hope that this is 1/2 of my plan... the other half will be announced all at once... They will have a new GM, and a new HC. And the kicker to all of this is that Howie has decided to pursue other ventures and will be taking a year off to consider his future before moving on to lead a Fortune 500 company - Hydrox. It's not quite Oreo, but as long as you don't raise your level of expectations, you can fool yourself into thinking that its just as good.
