They think highly of him because they finally repaired a lot of really old wounds not that long ago but that's the first I've ever heard of his name being thrown around for a front office gig.

I can't see Lindros doing the gig for several reasons, one being I don't see him wanting to work with Clarke, plus he hates the media here. I don't know

Not long ago he was asked to be interviewed for an hour-long weekend interview series they were doing of former Philly or otherwise notable sports figures. Out of the over 100 people that were interviewed, he was the only one to decline the request. If he's still that bitter towards WIP, Clarke has no chance

Bob Clarke would call the WIP afternoon drive show (hosted by Eskin at that time) unprompted while he was GM to bitch about Lindros and the family, during the season, while Lindros was very much still a Flyer edit: There was also a time when then-Philly mob boss Joey Merlino called that same show to talk about his alleged friendship with Lindros.

Fletcher trading Gostisbehere and a 2nd to Arizona for cap relief two summers ago and then trading for and signing Tony D last summer was an underrated move. Gonna miss him

And then Ghost ends up in Carolina for a pick. Couldn't have written it better Also trading MacEwen for a 5th, and accepting to take Brendan Lemieux for the cap hit. Don't negotiate for a higher pick or anything

I don't think Lindros has done any prior work in a coaching or managerial role on a professional level, so it's just impossible to say how well he would do Even without Clarke I don't see him coming here. I have a feeling he's okay with having that arms-length relationship with the team. And if he really wanted to be in a managerial role, I feel like he would be by now shyduck fucked around with this message at 20:43 on Mar 10, 2023 |

The Athletic posted:In particular, this issue has arisen for teams with prominent Russian players since that country’s anti-gay laws were amended in early December, per the New York Times, to make it “illegal to spread ‘propaganda’ about ‘nontraditional sexual relations’ in all media, including social, advertising and movies.” So Russian players are banned from competing in international tourneys due to the Ukraine War, but here in North America we are catering to their backwards-rear end values because a Russian is that teams best player lol quote:The Wild never officially announced before Pride Night that their players would be wearing rainbow-logoed jerseys, but they wore them last season — including Russians Kapizov and Dmitry Kulikov — and it was common knowledge that they planned to do so again this year. They had even mentioned it on their auction site. Just brutal optics, why did plans suddenly change the morning of? Bootlicking article

It's legitimately cruel to fly out Jack Jablonski and give him a front row seat to the players all skating out and effectively saying "hockey is not for you."

And he's obviously participated in pride nights. He still goes back to Russia to visit family and train in the off season. Or in past off seasons he did anyways.

ThinkTank posted:It's legitimately cruel to fly out Jack Jablonski and give him a front row seat to the players all skating out and effectively saying "hockey is not for you." There are so many other better ways to have done it. There's not really any excuse here. I don't personally care about all the warm up jerseys or whatever. It tends to be window dressing that the league can stand behind and go "lookit what we're doing, we have jerseys for it". What I care about is concrete action and the NHL is lagging behind on that. Make hockey for everyone by pushing the inclusivity in language, supporters groups, events, front offices, and messaging. The front offices are still barely including women in positions that make a difference, and having BIPOC representation is lacking too. Can the jersey nights be a part of it, absolutely. But the larger issue is what I'm frequently disappointed in with the NHL. Bunch of old white guys just not having a clue is not a surprise.

My reaction on one side is that I think Russian players would have a legit concern to be worried about being seen to support LGBTQ impacting them or their families in Russia. This is a crazy time, it was a separate reason but we already saw Russia punish a NHL goalie prospect for reasons , so yeah I think it could be a valid concern. That said, I donno how you prove whether it’s a concern, or whatever they’re now inventing it as a reason to cover themselves. Obviously the point that this is a theory coming out now and now whatever months ago makes me question it. So I’m not believing it either way. End of the day, it sucks because regardless of what the truth it , either way minority groups like LGBTQ lose and are negatively impacted.

If Provorov hadn’t started this and the league weren’t cowards it wouldn’t have been a problem. The Russians are not loving robots, a guy wearing a jersey he has to isn’t going to get his family jailed. Gate is open now though.
