The Legace Interview

After the jump (to avoid the annoying autoplay) is a long interview with Manny Legace. Tip of the hat to regular reader oic for the video find.

Gotta give credit to the interviewer.

Katie Felts asked the tough question about whether his attitude in the locker room could have contributed to his demise. That’s hard to do right to the guy’s face.

That she did.

I have to give that gal credit. She asked the questions that were in my head, and didn’t shy away from the tough ones even a little. If a girl could have balls like a brass monkey…I’d say she’s got ’em.

And yes, the auto-start on the video is obnoxious.

We’ll pull it down after a while. No one wants to deal with that every time.

I think if I understood HTML I could change that, but I really don’t know what I’m looking at in the code.

just add the link after a jump

that way it can stay on the main page, but you have to click the jump to look at it. it will auto play then.

might just be because it's me

but i’m finding that to be about as clear as mud, joe

yeah im at work and sneaking away to post on game time.

to get rid of the auto play on the main page all you have to do is bury the video beneath a jump. — like a click here thing. people will click there to watch the video. it will still autoplay, but it wont start right when people first get to the site.

confused? well then, ill just give up.

Can’t fault you for that :D

Yea, makes perfect sense now. Was a little wierd the way it was broken up before, but makes perfect sense now. Sorry…I have to have a picture to get some of this stuff :)

Pure coincidence, I’m sure, heh.

I can’t remember the last time a guy did a 8-minute sit down in his living room after being put through waivers. This feels like the Shanahan or Gilmour trades all over again.

With his dog clop-clop-clopping around, too.

Nice shot of his waggy tail in the background near the end.

It takes a village, people.

Thanks for the great idea on avoiding that annoyance.

Farewell...

Great post. We always say we want pro athletes to be honest with the press and say what they think, but this is a bit painful to watch. Hopefully the Caps pick him up, I’d love to see him play in person and think he’s got plenty left in the tank.

He is done in STL. Done. I don’t think he’ll go to Peoria either. He gets picked up or refuses assignment. Wouldn’t blame him, either.

This is blockbuster news here in STL. Wanna know where STL ranks in the world of Hockey/NHL? Check out TSN. The story about Legace is BURIED and I mean BURIED in the story listings.

Word on the street is that the Senators are having a look.

Odd.

Usually even if a guy wins a Cup while playing only one game of a playoff series, a team letting them go mid-season is at least SOME news up there.

This was a good interview.

Apparently he's going to report to Peoria...

I’m shocked no one claimed him, frankly. I guess this works out best for him and his family’s living situation, but it’s still insulting.

It's because of something...

we are not being told. If they said something in the lockerroom, and Manny’s face flashes with an anger that could kill…what does that mean exactly?

The out-a-towner’s correct, this has the feel of Gilmour or Shanny all over again. Sure manny happens to be sucking and this is the right move period, but the Blues have rarely done this with any veterans before, so why now? I mean Ryan Johnson sucked last season, Mayers the list goes on and on. Shit Mayers fucking put a down payment on a fucking vacation that started the same day as the fucking play offs. That’s fact. I heard his wife saying it last year. My seat was one row in front of the wives, I do not reccomend sitting there.
