Could It Be?


ZOMG did you see the Falconer's blog this morn? Could be an office-rearranging storm a-comin', which is perhaps made more interesting by the fact that the Tampa Bay Lightning brass have just fired Brian Lawton and Rick Tocchet. Bad teams and their decisions...

Is this the end-but-not-really for DW?



UPDATE: Whoa hey, your TBC staff actually just had this very same rumor confirmed by our own reliable source (a mole, perhaps), but for some reason everyone wants to remain anonymous in these situations, so what's the big rumpus?

Pierre LeBrun said over the weekend that Anderson would be fired, and tweeted today that he expects it to go down sometime this week.

I would be somewhat surprised to see Anderson fired, and I would be somewhat disappointed. Somewhat, but not overly on either count. Changes need to be made. John Anderson is a good guy and I hope he succeeds. I'd love to see him do it here, but with a full year under his system, we still couldn't make the playoffs and are still allowing way too many shots on goal.

I am curious what DW's responsibilities would be if he is indeed promoted and Dudley becomes GM. Who makes final decisions on marketing, etc? I want to see an overhaul of this team's image and I think the marketing department needs to be gutted. (figuratively, of course. Not calling for anything messy here.)

Steve Yzerman!!!!!!!! and yes marketing department needs to be destroyed top to bottom for the atrocities they have commited over the last few years.

Wait, so Don Waddell is one of the most colossal fuck ups, although respected fuck up, in NHL GM history and he might get fucking PROMOTED?

Jointhead-

It's a crazy world, isn't it?

In case it isn't clear yet, I favor a full on Jacobin-style purge.
