00:00Seattle fires Dan Bousma after one season.
00:04So he only got one year to try to make it work in Seattle.
00:08They were bad this year.
00:10It did not go well for them.
00:12There are some stories that they might also reassign, I guess,
00:18General Manager Ron Francis.
00:20That is not official.
00:21That has not happened.
00:23But he may move to a different part of the organization.
00:26Can I just say something here, which, strangely enough,
00:30my buddy just texted me in the middle of the show.
00:36And he's retired, greatest guy ever, big shot ad agency guy in Atlanta.
00:42And when he retired, he's older.
00:43He's in retirement years.
00:45And he took a job as an usher at the Braves games.
00:50So he's doing Braves games at Truist.
00:53And he saw my old boss with the thrashers at the game.
00:56And he said hi.
00:57And I was just, it's so funny that you would do this story
00:59because I want to say this.
01:01Like, I have always believed that when they got that team in Atlanta,
01:05we got no players.
01:08Like, do you remember when Vegas got their team in a game like a Stanley Cup team?
01:12They gave them every player in the league went to the Vegas Golden Knights.
01:17I mean, they were like an all-star team the first season.
01:19And they won the Stanley Cup within, what, two years?
01:22So when Atlanta got a team, they got no one.
01:27They were playing with crusty 40-year-old Ray Ferraro and Kelly Bukaboom and whatever,
01:33Bookberg or whoever the hell it was.
01:35All I know is Pear Svart Vodded.
01:38I'll never forget that name.
01:39That's the hacks that they had on this team.
01:41And then I thought, to be honest with you, that's what Seattle got.
01:46They got what they deserved.
01:47No one wants to hear it.
01:49No one up there wants to hear this, but it's true.
01:52Like, why do they deserve some great hockey team up there?
01:55Because they got an expansion team and paid, you know, $500 billion,
01:59whatever for the team.
02:01When you are an expansion team, you should suck.
02:05I don't understand why I had to sit there and go through 57 losses
02:10with a team with no talent, and then now they stack these teams with all-stars
02:16when they give them expansion teams.
02:17I think it's bullshack.
02:19Seattle got what they deserved, a crappy hockey team.
02:22There you go.
02:23Welcome to the league.
02:24They've obviously been in business for four years now.
02:29They've missed the playoffs three of their four seasons.
02:32Yeah, they sucked.
02:32The one year they made it, they went to the second round
02:34and lost in seven to the Stars, but they've missed the playoffs
02:38three out of four years.
02:39The Trashers made the playoffs once, and they got their ass racked.
02:42Right.
02:43You know, look, I thought that they had a better team
02:46than some of those old expansion teams like you're referring to,
02:50but not as good as Vegas.
02:51And I still believe that Vegas got a little bit more than everyone else
02:56because they needed that market to be good right away.
03:01I just feel – because they were the first professional league
03:04that ever went into Vegas.
03:06I think that they needed the Vegas market to work,
03:08and I think that they got some players that maybe other teams.
03:11Fair enough.
03:11I'm not going to argue with that.
03:13Fair enough.
03:14That's great.
03:15Did they do that in 67 with every team that came into the league?
03:19They let them suffer.
03:22Every single team in the league's history has suffered as an expansion team.
03:26Except Vegas.
03:28What team?
03:29Name an expansion team that was good.
