Apparently Kenny Holland didn't agree with my current opinion back when he was Adirondak's GM, at least not awarding points for ties in the AHL, anyway

| One great story about Holland occurred when he was GM of the Red Wings’ farm team in Glens Falls, N.Y. He was at the AHL governors’ meetings and the board was considering awarding zero points for a tie. “Let me get this straight,” Holland said. “We’re telling people, ‘What you just saw, nothing happened. (Expletive) off, go home. By the way, we play again next Tuesday.’ ” Holland doesn’t have the academic credentials of GMs such as Burke and Lamoriello, but there might not be a brighter mind in the game. His player-procurement abilities are legendary and he continues to keep players in Detroit for less than market value. Trading terrific prospect Shawn Matthias for Todd Bertuzzi last season is one of his few clunkers. |
