So many questions so quickly. Wow! Great job, gang.

I am still doing my columns at The Journal News and at LoHud.com in addition to this blog and Faceoff with Sam Borden. ^[1] So I’m busy, and we’re still figuring out the logistics of filling in for Sam …

Long story short, I have to go to an event now to write a column, so I will answer a few questions quickly then run, and I’ll stop back here later tonight: 

Thanks for the welcome. I don’t think Mr. Glen ever liked me because, from Day 1 (June 1, 2000) I said he was a bad hire, and because I have always pointed out how Dolan just loves the guy and gave him a job for life … that said, I think Slats has done a much better job the last few years.

Renney? I think most of you know where I stand on him. But we’ll get into that again in the coming days. Let’s just say that after Muckler-Low-Trottier-Sather, he looks pretty good. Still. Remind me to tell you my favorite Muckler story (or stories) later.

I think the new guy (not me, this kid from Minnesota) will probably go to the minors first, but I could be wrong.

I am a Prucha fan. I know he is lacking in some areas, but geez, when you need goals … you can’t teach those.

And, no, I don’t think Renney calls the personnel shots, although I am certain he has input.

Mr. Dellapina, good to hear from you, too. Sorry I wasn’t in Montreal with you guys. See you Tuesday at MSG, right?
