There are rants — and then there’s Jim Costa of ESPN 96.1 in Michigan vitriolic and bitter unloading on Ken Holland, former GM of the Detroit Red Wings and new GM of the Edmonton Oilers.
“I am bitter”, Costa said. “This man destroyed my hockey team for a decade. Do I have a right to be bitter? “This was coming. Ken Holland was forced up and eventually forced out and it’s probably a decade too late. But this is a great day for the Detroit Red Wings… Ken Holland drove this franchise into the ground. After 2009 when they appeared in the Stanley Cup Final and lost, we have stared at a decade of incompetence. Three playoff series wins in ten years when they’ve been trying to win.
“Big” Drew McCarthy then chipped in, only moderating Costa’s comments somewhat: “Ken Holland makes his exit unceremoniously from the city of Detroit. Without fanfare. Without a send off. There will be no Ken Holland parade. There will not be a Ken Holland day. But, Jim, I think a lot of people have significantly more fond memories of Ken Holland than you do. You give him zero credit for the Cups?”
