Its how things have evolved. It started with Kevin Lowe and his asshat Penner offer and has been gaining momentum ever since. Then Dubas showed up and did the whole "hold my beer" thing.

I know you dont like what Francis did in the ED, but he has set himself up brilliantly to play that game moving forward IMO. Now he has to execute a couple things to make it pay off, but he certainly has all the weaponry to do so.

really thats all Im pointing out...and Im not even sure its the right way to go, but it was sure A way to go.

I have a feeling there is going to be pure chaos over the next little while...and its going to be both fascinating and fun to watch.

Tonight may end up a little anti-climatic but the next 10 days or so? I predict mayhem.

Why is the quote written twice?
