Sunday . . .

Well there’s not much doubt that Moose Jaw will be the place where it’s happening this morning.
Chad Lang, who was told at some point last week that he was through as the Warriors’ general manager, is to hold a news conference at his home on Goldenglow Drive at 9 a.m.
It remains to be seen whether there will be a golden glow from that one.
One hour later, the Warriors, in their dressing room in the Civic Centre (aka the Crushed Can), will introduce Jeff Truitt as their director of hockey operations.
The Warriors are a community-owned team and their board of directors has chosen to split the general manager’s duties into two positions and hire a director of hockey operations and someone else to handle the business side of things.
The strange part of all of this is that the Warriors arguably have had more on-ice and financial success under Lang, the GM since Dec. 6, 2004, than under anyone else since they relocated from Winnipeg during the summer of 1984. (Lang was 26 years of age when he took over as GM; he had been hired on May 5, 2003, as marketing and sales manager.)
Darin Chow, the Warriors governor and president, told Matthew Gourlie of the Moose Jaw Times-Herald that the board considered keeping Lang in one of the positions, but . . .
“It was something we considered but, at the end of the day, we just felt it just wasn’t a good fit in the long run,” Chow told Gourlie.
At the same time, Chow allowed that “Lang has left the club in good financial position and his dedication to the club is undeniable.” Chow also admitted Lang had made an “incredible contribution” to the franchise.
So let’s see here . . . the franchise is in “good financial position” . . . Lang was dedicated . . . Lang made an “incredible contribution.”
Sounds like they should think about naming the new rink in Lang’s honour. Instead, he is told not to let the door hit him on the ass on his way out. Oh, and turn out the lights, too.
Originally, Lang had scheduled his news conference for 10 a.m. Later, the Warriors scheduled the Truitt unveiling for 10 a.m.
So . . . Lang changed the time of his earbender to 9 a.m.
Yes, Monday is going to be an interesting day in the burg of Moose Jaw.
Check right here for Gourlie's coverage of the situation to date.
