I would be embarrassed to have my name associated with a professional sports team that's never truly committed to winning a championship. Edwards is going to die one day and all that money he accumulated won't mean a goddamn thing but winning another Stanley Cup sure would be another feather in his cap but he's just so blinded by the hollowness of wealth and fortune that he's probably never going to wise up and realize that rich people are a dime a dozen on this planet but owners of championship winning teams have legacies that precede them.

These mega-rich business tycoons are such extreme personality types that it’s hard to understand what motivates them. The extra gate revenue of the playoff dates? Bragging rights among other owners? The damage to the ego of having a bad team for years? Thinking they’re smarter than their peers and the people they hire, so they can chart their own path to success? Who knows. All I know is I’d prefer a hands-off owner.
