from Damien Cox of the Toronto Star,
It can’t be the city that keeps people with the Wings, and it’s certainly not aging Joe Louis Arena. The Wings also don’t wildly overpay individual players or executives or coaches.
“We sell a culture, a little bit,” said Holland yesterday. “It’s not for everybody. I would say life isn’t all about money and if every decision you make is about money, then probably Detroit isn’t for you.
“But people like to be a part of winning. It’s a hard thing to leave.”
It would be the fifth SCF appearance in 13 seasons.
(secret word is 95yes...kind of ominous)

Hmmm. I don’t recall that it was Scotty who was interested in the Leafs. My recollection is that it was exactly the opposite. Or am I recalling this wrong?
Posted by OlderThanChelios from Grand Rapids on 05/14 at 10:26 AMOnce it became clear that the Leafs weren’t going to get Scotty, it came out (I think it was from CBC) that he was interested, but only if he could have complete control over hockey operations. MLSE wasn’t willing to give that...pretty terrifying thought for their next GM, isn’t it?
Posted by Ryan from Toronto on 05/14 at 11:37 AMI think the interest was mutual, but Ryan is right - it hinged on having complete control. Also it was difficult to deal with the front office in Toronto because it was impossible to talk to one person and get a decision, and several factions were moving at cross-purposes throughout.
Posted by Baroque from Michigan on 05/14 at 01:03 PMOkay, thanks, Ryan and Ms. B. Guess I was under the impression at the time that anyone as smart as Scotty wouldn’t even think about taking a job with the Laffs.

I’d like to draw attention to a specific portion of this article:
Funny how quickly things change in the eyes of the MSM.
