I'm usually down on this team, but I still feel removing MacT was a huge deal. Just going by my personal impression of MacT's personality, he just seems like a guy that has strong (stupid) opinions and talks peoples ears off about them. He seems like a horrible know-it-all as well. That's a bad guy to have around your office in a high position because he's gonna be putting his bad ideas into peoples heads all the time and be talking lots in every meeting he is in, throwing off conversations and useful discussion. Just my opinion of him based on my observations over the years :)

Lowe probably does whisper in Bobby's ear, but I do think Holland will be able to filter that out. But if Holland had to keep carrying MacT around in hockey ops and keep involving him in meetings, I think that would be far more damaging to the team.

I can't agree with you about MacT. Sure he may be very opinionated, but if Holland could ignore Lowe, he can certainly ignore someone like MacT who doesn't have as much clout within the organization.


I think it's just a matter of their location in the org. MacT in hockey ops is going to be around a lot more than Lowe who is in his ivory tower with entertainment group business responsibilities. You can much more easily filter out some Lowe comments coming down via bumbling Nicholson than you can MacT in the room all the time spouting his garbage, much of which probably also came from talking to his buddy Lowe.

If Holland can create a bubble around his hockey ops group, and not have useless voices inside always in the room, it's a much better working environment.


There's no way Lowe was a good little business manager and stayed in his own play pen. I can only hope Holland has the balls and autonomy to make him.



Think Lowe is still around the offices playing with the hockey operations guys? Maybe there is a chance he comes down more since his proxy is in Russia.
