For years, Nashville Predators general manager David Poile has endured probing questions, backhanded comments and insulting interrogations regarding his team’s failure to make it back to the Stanley Cup Final. And for the most part, Poile has done so with a degree of professionalism. But Poile proved he could be petty and snarky with the best of them over the summer when he put one exasperating local radio host — who questioned the 71-year-old GM’s decision making — in his place. When pressed regarding his decision to expose Calle Järnkrok in the expansion draft, Poile answered, “With all due respect, you don’t know as much as I know.” And when that same radio host made another sophomoric inquiry, Poile quipped, “I don’t know how to answer that question.” Was Poile’s willingness to engage in confrontation hilariously entertaining? Yes. Could the world use a little more salty David Poile? Also, yes.
