Right. This was a little different. It was the conference room gas chamber treatment, and the real beauty of it was that it made Kelly look bad, not the Blues.

The Blues wanted to make it look like Kelly "retired with no notice to the fans, left without even saying goodbye".

Kelly wouldn't stand for that, so he got another job.

Kelly was like that. He was always good at calling the score.
At no time did they say or even hint at that.

They said they were not renewing his contract and were going to a simulcast and thanked him for his years of service.
I did not say that the Blues said that. I said that they said little and let people guess at what went down. The one thing that the Blues did say is that the Blues had very little say on the matter, which was a lie.
Tom Stillman made a full statement, and the Blues themselves thanked him, said they'd be celebrating his service this season, and would be going to a simulcast.

The reasons as to why they went this route ever needed to be public information.

The team stated it was a mutual decision with the broadcaster, part of a strategy to shift to a single simulcast radio and TV broadcast using the existing radio team.

It was not Mutual. It was a conference room gas chamber treatment.
Again, you are lying.
Look at the threads here on BluesTalk. Based on the small amount of information that was provided from the Blues when it happened, at least 1/2 the BluesTalkers believed/assumed that Kelly wanted to retire. Very few people believed that the Blues fired him.

In this article, Kelly even acknowledges that.

The Blues only came clean about their part in it when pressed to do so.

The Blues first angle was to push Kelly out AND NOT TAKE THE BLAME FOR IT. They just wanted rumors to write the history book.
The only thing you have ever proven on here is that you are not credible. You make things up and base opinions on what you “think happened” just to support your weak agenda.
