Whalers PR

Listen. Off in the distance. There is a constant thudding. You approach this sound, very similar to the sound that a Brontosaurus might make if he were taking slow steady steps through the Jurassic jungle. As we approach, the sound is a deafening thud and is getting louder. Just under the thuds we can hear a monotonous humming sound.

Getting closer a faint glint of light escapes a doorway. You peak in and see an image teetering back and forth against the wall. You lean in for a closer look and to hear if the humming you hear are actually words, they are. You notice upon a closer examination that it is Whalers GM, Paul Gagne. He is standing behind his desk banging his head against the wall and muttering, "STUPID, STUPID, STUPID.......". Obviously this is his way of dealing with the record of his club.

You knock on the door before you enter, just out of courtesy. He stops banging his head and turns to you to reveal that he has built up a calus on his forehead, one can only assume that this isn't the first time he has banged his head. He sits in his seat after requesting that you sit in the chair on the front side of his desk. The look on his face shows he is off in thought, obviously still terribly distraught. He asks, "How may I be of service to you?".

That's how it is here in the offices of the Whalers. No matter how bad things are for the team, GM Paul Gagne still wishes to help others out. He does realize that the process he has started will take time but he really would like results soon. He is tired of slander from other GM's eventhough he says it doesn't bother him, the dent in the wall would say otherwise. The best that he and the Whalers organization can do is stay the path and have patience. If you want to build a powerhouse on your own it takes a lot of time and patience.

On a better note the farm squad is holding their own and is developing a great squad of up and comers. The winning sense has to be developed and enhanced. Some may say that the winning spirit was already on this team when Paul Gagne took it over and has since disappeared but Paul has his own vision and will see it thru.
