jackson's answer: "no, we didn't consult with the players on this decision. didn't speak with connor, or leon, or nuge or nursey or any of the other leadership group. these guys are here to play hockey. they know that. that's what they want to do. they don't like being involved in these type of decisions, that's my experience. the fact that kris was connor's coach in erie in 2014, 15, it only has something to do with us because kris knoblauch is a really good coach. connor didn't have anything to do with this decision, and neither did the other leadership group." |
Something interesting I heard on "Got Yer Back", includes a bit left out between these two quotes. At the end of Holland's answer, before Jackson answers, Holland adds: ...obviously Jeff's got a long relationship with Connor, you can probably talk about that"
Was that Holland taking a shot at the only reason Jackson has been given this job?
Also, when they asked Knoblauch if the coaching duties (including Gulutzan running the power play, I imagine, now that Coffey's onboard) will change, he looks at Holland and Holland answers for him.
This is messed up.
