I think with the culture being rotten, the players should have leaked more publicly. It's what kept this parade going so long, if anything. If it was just minor disagreements you keep it in house but such a crap culture should've been exposed a long time back.
Anyway, I really like Maloney's authenticity as others have said. It wasn't cliches. He really elaborated and went the extra mile to be professional yet accommodating and that should be commended. If I were an employee I'd be really happy to see someone at the top like that. Normally it's lip service from that level. Anyway, I think it's clear based on even his comments, that ownership thinks they have a winner. I think otherwise as they don't have the speed generally needed, but I'll leave that to another discussion.
