That was the rumored deal where Richardson told Herniay to fire RR and for the first time he said "no". Herniay took the bullet.....but the owner wanted you gone.....does my key card still works for each passing day type of feels...

Person, Voth, Gantt and others have pretty much confirmed that story.

Richardson wanted to fire Rivera, but Hurney offered to fall on the sword to save him. Richardson agreed. Why? Not sure anybody knows except I guess Marty convinced him.

Prior to that, Hurney had worked for years without a contract. Gantt had said numerous times that Marty was "GM for life" if he wanted to be, so something like this was about the only way you were going to get him out of there.

When he came back, a lot of us knew the interim tag was bullsh-t. It was just a matter of time before he got the permanent job.

Heck, if not for the scandals that took down Richardson, Marty might still be the GM today.

The fact that there's been such little effort to force him out by other owners is telling that they really don't care about anything that isn't truly an NFL across the board issue.  JR was a guy they knew they could push out in the wake of his scandal to open things up for Tepper who they all wanted to let into their circle next.  Navarro never stood a chance.

Snyder should've been forced out well before he changed the Skins/WFT into this atrocity that's name still just sounds so off.  

 

Yeah, Washington should be stuck with Tepper. Not us. What could have been…

    • So happy that LaMelo got the layup to go and *won* the game. How happy he was after the game, that's what a young dude like him needs to keep it going and keep the belief going. If we lose, LaMelo gets blamed, and he's got an offseason to be in his head and hear the noise like the last few years. The season might still have an ugly ending, but weirdly feels like last night was HUGE for this team moving forward.   
    • My thoughts on Carolina's post-season run: Obviously, the season began with a below average Freddie Andersen and everyone hoping Kochetkov would pick up the slack, until he got hurt. Enter Brandon Bussi who had a made-for-TV movie type run until the end of the season, when he came crashing back to earth, his save % drops under .900 and the team needs to score 5-6 goals to win games. Freddie has shown signs of a resurgence and Bussi looked pretty good the last 2 games of the season, but both sample sizes are small and questions abound for all 3 goalies. The physicality of playoff hockey will take its toll. Save for a few players, the Canes best players are small, their top 2 lines are small and there's no getting around that. The only way to protect the size disadvantage is a strong forecheck. Allowing opposing teams to establish the offensive zone and create board battles with smaller players will hurt Carolina. The Stankoven line could be a difference-maker. If they continue to play well against lower defensive pairs, it only adds to the depth of the team.  The Aho line had stretches of absenteeism during the season. The Canes cannot afford to have them dry up offensively and leave the scoring to Ehlers and the Stankoven line. If they aren't performing well, teams will simply roll their best lines out on the Canes best playing lines.  If the Canes can get by Ottawa and get some help from Boston against Buffalo, I think they have a legit shot to make the finals. Make no mistake, I think their toughest challenges are Ottawa and Buffalo in the East.
