[MissADD]

How do you say “cooked” in Latvian

Pagatavots. (Yes, I know that was rhetorical.....)

Well that's disappointing.

I don't disagree with Waddell that Elvis has the talent to be a #1 goalie. He might get back there. I just think it's a waste of organizational energy to get him there, including that it is a drag on our locker room. We should just buy him out and put someone in net that the players are excited to play for.

He might be the guy who rekindles the fire in Elvis. It only takes an encounter with the right person.

I would assume if any mention of toxicity comes up in meeting with the players, he may reconsider this idea. That being said,

this is also a possibility, albeit a more unlikely one.

People gonna hate this.

People gonna hate this.

Not those of us who don’t want to buy him out.

I hate the Steelers but I respect Mike Tomlin as a coach. Reminds me of this quote from him in an interview.

"I love coaches who resist the responsibility of coaching, that talk negatively about a dude that can't learn."

"Man...if everyone could learn, we'd need less coaches. If the group didn't need management, then we wouldn't make as much.

"I don't run away from coaching. I run to coaching."

"It's all in line with not seeking comfort, because when you are a coach and you're talking about someone that can't learn, you're seeking comfort because your teaching is struggling."
