i have never heard that brenier was to be number one goalie by la manegment. why would quick even try if that was the case. the better goalie will get the job. see if bernier can play over 80 games. i doubt it very seriously.

Comment on Tim Leiweke interview by shades

Great interview! Every critical question applicable to the long-term success of a hockey team was asked!!

I have been a very harsh critic of AEG!!! Now, if he is telling the truth (and only time will tell) then we will win a cup here, hopefully within the next 5 years max. If he’s telling the truth, then there is NO REASON, none at all, why the Kings cannot be as successful an organization such as Detroit has been these last 20 years or so.

However, there are many inconsistencies and answers which are too general (which he admits) to be of much help in determining just how much Phil and Tim know about hockey and more importantly how to run a hockey organization, which obviously goes a long way in determining who they will keep or let go if the team does not progress year after year as he expects it to.

If they do not progress quickly (and by quickly I’m talking like 5 years), they will be making changes at the top (GM, etc…) or they are not doing what needs to be done.

I put it this way because it’s taken much longer than I feel it should have to figure out that changes needed to be made (in re: Taylor, etc…). It appears that it is only recently that they decided to rebuild via the draft and attempt to lock up valuable players to long-term contracts. This is most likely because when they came in they had no idea about how to build a hockey team which is understandable with their interests spread so vastly that it makes common sense.

There are of course exceptions to what I’ve stated here, but 15 years is more than enough time to turn a team into a consistent winner and playoff contender.

Of course, if they (AEG) were not knowledgeable about hockey when they took over, it would explain why it has taken so long and I believe he admits that above (if not specifically, in a roundabout manner).

To state the “inconsistencies and generalizations” I feel were obvious would take several pages. So, I will just finish by stating again, that if he’s telling the truth, we’ll at least go deep into the playoffs, be in the finals, and hopefully win a CUP OR TWO in the near future.

Again…GREAT INTERVIEW!
