Tough Times For New York

That's Lou Lamoriello's boss on the right, the majority owner of this franchsie, the final word. Scott D. Malkin. So you have Doug Weight being directly quoted to Dolan's Newsday beatwriter (when he did a game the previous night, and was rushing to Pittsburgh) that Lamoriello did not fire the coach for communication, it was not about job performance, it was something else down the road bothering Lamoriello. That's very bad, and Weight's a man who's been muted since the day he was fired. No way does Weight joining a telecast even rate an article in Newsday much less an exhausted beatwriter traveling unless they knew he had something important to say.
