Wang Looking Good

from Chris Russell of the Sporting News,
Wang has been bludgeoned by media pundits and fans across the NHL landscape for being clueless and out of touch with reality. Amongst the charges, hiring Nolan, hiring Garth Snow after firing Smith who was on the job for about four minutes. Or how about the bashing that Wang took after signing star goaltender Rick DiPietro to a high risk, high reward, 15-year contract that ultimately will prove to be a steal.
I don’t know about you, but I’d say so far Wang has come out of this smelling like roses. One year of making the playoffs does not reverse everything, but it does buy you momentum. It buys you hope. It buys you a lot of smiles and the feeling that it is only going to get better from here.

Judging a 15 year contract in year one is like judging a Nascar race on the first lap…

I secretly had similar thoughts watching yesterday’s game. The firing of Smith/hiring of Snow was the real issue for me. I find myself forced to (very grudgingly) admit that he’s somehow managed to stumble, poop-faced drunk, into feces and come up smelling like roses.
