The Lock Posted June 10, 2021 Share Posted June 10, 2021 To all the people who were panicking about Ian Clark. I ask what I asked when I was arguing against you guys: why needlessly panic? 1 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Because the only team that has interviewed him is New York. Foreverblueshirts.com said the interview went well. But New York has 3-4 other candidates to interview. But that was back on May 15th. Doesn't look like anyone is tripping over themselves to hire Gallant. this is wild, baseless conjecture on my part, but imo the guy has the face of someone who pounds the liquor. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ghostsof1915 Posted June 10, 2021 Share Posted June 10, 2021 Knowing Drance he'll start the new rumour that Petey and Hughes will want out. Have to say the Canucks are RMS Titanic right? 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I ask what I asked when I was arguing against you guys: why needlessly panic? People were associating past events like letting Brackett and our free agents walk with this. The biggest factor in all of this was that it seems like Clarke really wants to be here. I was worried there would be a team that came in and offered him an amount we couldn’t come close to matching.

To me it seemed like it could go either way with Clark. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There is nothing negative in it. More just a shout out for Brown. Nothing wrong with showing some appreciation to a guy who got fired. I notice a poster you dont have a grudge against for other reasons said the same thing I did and your response was very different. Like you trying to extrapolate that since Drance's other posts bother you this one also must, you are bringing non related bias about me into your response. You are no different than what you are whining Drance is actually. If you read between the lines of drance post like a lot of his other posts and athletic article which I subscribe too, he might be praising brown but he is also insinuating jb made a bad choice by no re-signing him. This is the issue I have with drance. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If he had a criticism about letting Brown go I think he would just say it outright which he didnt do. People have enough things Drance says to complain about. This comment to me was not a big deal.

I am sure most of the true fan base are ecstatic about Shaw being hired 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do these people never leave the house out of fear of being hit by a bus or struck by lightning as well? I saw genuine concern Benning would "run out of time". Lots of historical evidence it was a possibility. By all accounts losing Clark would have been a huge loss. So why would people being concerned about that possibly happening be out of the ordinary? A better question is why doesnt that apply to all the people who were freaking out about how bad it would be to fire Benning or Green? People on both sides of any issue have concerns and worries about which way it might go. Insulting one side just because it went the way you thought doesnt make you smarter. You didnt know for a fact they would re-sign him until they did nor did anyone else. Benning easily could have lost Clark by waiting so long. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I didn't see anyone' freaking out' about firing either guy as bad. I saw a lot of people not condoning what was approaching something akin to a witch hunt, based on said conjecture, hyperbole and minus a whole metric butt load of context. Sides? Was there a side that didn't want Clark back? Did I suggest I was 'smarter'? I don't know where you come up with this stuff...

There were sides in terms of those who thought he would be for sure coming back and those who were concerned he wouldnt be. I am pretty sure everyone wanted him back. I didnt see very many people rise to the level of paranoia you claim. I saw lots of people righyly concerned as time dragged on. Saying the people who had genuine concerns are paranoud, etc is what is hyperbolic and simply a way to be dismissive toward other people's opinions. There was always the possibility Clark would not be back simply because the contract talks were delayed for so long. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FaninMex Posted June 10, 2021 Share Posted June 10, 2021 5 hours ago, wallstreetamigo said: While I am not a fan of Brown and it was time for him to go, I dont see how this is trolling or unrealistic commentary by Drance. I mean, Brown has been continuously employed as an NHL assistant coach on various teams since 1996. So saying someone will hire him isnt really an unrealistic idea. What about all the other lies that he makes up? He is a troll reporter 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There was always the possibility Clark would not be back simply because the contract talks were delayed for so long. Shaw told us why it was taking so long on in yesterday’s interview. Brown was under contract and Shaw and green had to discuss without anyone’s knowledge. They only made the announcement once browns contract was up and not renewed as opposed to firing brown with weeks left in his contract. that’s not dragging that’s class! 1 1 2 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
