from Adam Proteau of The Hockey News,
Are you like me? Do you cringe and/or grind your teeth any time you hear clichés and done-to-death buzzwords? Well, since the NHL doesn’t have much in the way of news to comment on, I figured we could take another periodical look at the verbal junk that passes for insight both inside and outside the hockey world and break that junk down to its nonsensical essence.
Aren’t particularly fond of that idea for a hockey blog in late July? Hey, it is what it is.
Moving Forward: Far and away the most widely overused cliché of the moment, this phrase usually is employed as utterly superfluous sentence-beginner (or ender). So instead of an NHL GM or coach saying this:
“We want to build a team that competes for the Stanley Cup each year.”
You get this:
“Moving forward, we want to build a team that competes for the Stanley Cup each year.”
