So it was just coincidence, eh?

I suspect so, but he probably was responsible for the band leaving the stage.

Shirley mentioned a $20 mil commitment to the HFH (a warm-up facility, apparently) and some "other commitments" I took this as a good sign for the program...

Is that above or below the amount of her salary?

Flaggie wrote "They stole Justin Smith's jersey and gave it to the coach! ".

As WaP tweeted JS never wore that type of jersey.

It was a joke anyway. Yeesh.

Well, it is in the noise compared to her salary.

I just listened belatedly to the press conference. SAJ mentioned that Coach Smith's father-in-law was a professional hockey player. Does anyone know who he is (or was)?

I don't see his wife's (Susan) maiden name anywhere, so I don't know.

I'm busy today and will watch the press conference later... but if there's a Smith sweater to wear, why not Rick Smith's? Given the chance, I'd bring back the cherry and white large-print RPI sweater from the 60's-early 70's in a heartbeat.

Canisius has taken down his bio, so I can't find it there. Interestingly their Director of Player Development/Assistant Strength & Fitness Coach is named David Smith.

Thanks. Actually someone whom I remember. I figured that it was someone who had a cup of coffee in the NHL.

This Dave Smith is also the Fitness coach for the NHL referees. His brother Barry was an AC to Scotty Bowman in Pittsburgh and Detroit and is now with Chicago I believe as the Director of Player Development
