The kind of minor league biases that get Tanner Glass, Nik Grossmann, Matt Bartkowski, Ryan Lomberg, etc playing NHL minutes.......

i envision this happening in every gm's office in the nhl.....
[phone rings]... good morning gm abc's office
goooooooood morning!!! this is conny, is abc available?
one moment mr. conroy, please hold the line
mr. abc, conny's on line 1.... yes, i'll clear your morning schedule and i'll call your wife and cancel your lunch reservations too.
ha! ha! i love conny - got to meet him in penticton at young stars a few years ago. nicest guy ever and he LOVES to chat! we saw him as he and some other coaches were walking to the arena. i don't remember which coach it was, but as soon as conroy started chatting with us the one coach called over and said "conny...20 minutes right?!?!?!" while pointing to his watch!
and yea... conny was late becuz he stayed too long talking to us, and he was sooo apologetic he had to go. such a good guy!
