I'm thankful that he helped rework our scouting focus so that we drafted some great players under his watch.

Some people's memories are so short.

well only cause you are speaking about short memories, in this very thread...

He said, the Bruins staff called him "Weisfraud".

He also had said Feaster went behind Dudley's back in Tampa and went straight to ownership and was telling ownership in Tampa that he is much better than Dudley and basically talked ownership into firing Dudley and hiring him.

Feaster was hired here in July of 2010. Darryl Sutter was fired in December of 2010. I wonder if history repeated itself.

I don't think either of these guys are well liked. I think that McGuire interview on 1040 is pretty accurate.
