Team leader

Other than his clearly elite leadership skills the thing I noticed most in these clips is how not fast, and behind the play he was. Maybe they were all end of shift or something, but he’s getting old...

Then how can you call it a "Linden Love Letter"

I just read it, basically it says Weisbrod appears to have been a major factor in the fracture between Linden and ownership, which was an interesting twist.

He was just relaying what he'd heard from the situation after doing some research. There was nothing negative or positive, just info on why things unfolded the way they did.

It was the clips in that video. Every time the play is going the other way he looks gassed.

Back in the desert, been a rough couple days, they found one of the guys dead in his room a couple days ago, apparent heart attack, only in his late 50's.

Anyways, great win the other night, pretty excited about Pettersson, I've been "pumping his tires" for some time now. He'll turn Goldobin into a player!!

I obviously understand the mistrust in Botch, but it was an entertaining read.

It's no different than the speculation we read from each other about who has how much say in the front office.

I don’t know, I thought I could read his bias in there. Some digs like how Weisbrod has other enemies around the league etc.

Anyway, it is what it is.

Yeah I just thought it was an interesting read, he wasn't slamming anyone or praising anyone, just info on the front office dynamics.

he kind of just skates that way, puts his head down when chasing the puck up the ice or back checking.

It's their job to sell, so perhaps there's an element of that, but to me it wasn't outright defamation of him. Just dynamics of how the world under the Aquilini family works.

Really, none of us should read it. It’s behind a paywall, so it’s like sharing music or movies with your friends. I know Sean Parker would approve, but artists (authors) everywhere do not. I read it anyway.

As much as he is known more for his tabloid like contribution, and the Athletic is trying to establish itself as a proper journalistic source, I bet his contributions will help sell memberships.

You are supposed to get off the seat before you flush on a plane.

I didn't read the Linden Love Letter from B1tchford. I am glad Linden was fired I never liked him as a Pres. It always seemed awkward that him and Jim pretended to like each other but were seldom seen in the same room.

No amount of public crying will bring him back . Right or wrong the whole management seem to be all in agreement on things. I still think if Benning has a horrible year he will be gone.

Far from a Linden love later, I'd suggest you read it.
