That was gold.

My thoughts exactly. What comments ?

Listened to an interview with Yannik Hansen about Thatcher Demko and he said in effect that you can’t win in this league if your goaltender isn’t the best player on the ice. Thats maybe a bit of a stretch but I agree. Everything starts with having a capable goaltender at this level. You don’t have that you might as well turn the net around. Also, is Ralph still here ?

Is that coincidence that those players all fell off a cliff at the same time or is it coaching/systems ? Players go through slumps during a season sure but an entire team has a regression and almost to a man stink up the joint.

They certainly don’t care about the fans.

I think the players are so filled with Ralphisms that they really don’t understand what most fans realities are. Different worlds.

Loved the big hit by Dahlin at around the 7minute mark of the 3rd behind the net. Liked Brysons game tonight. Even when they led I had the feeling it would go bad.

Its easy. Build a team capable of winning.

Sure , sounds legit. None of this is on Ralph. He’s just the doorman at shift change tripping the players as they step onto the ice. Trying his best to put these guys in positions to succeed.

Is that son of samsons dog ?

😳

Yeah I’ve been getting that msg for the last 10 years. Loud and clear. So have the players on the team and players from around the league. Its surprising anyone would want to play for the most inept owner in the nhl. Terry and Kim are doing their level best to ***** all over this franchise and they still think because they own the team they have some kind of moral high ground over the fans. Kim said so herself. ‘ we know better than the fans ‘ or some such shite. About all we have left is to not support this sadsack owner and his pathetic attempt at winning a stanley cup.

Nice breakdown. Thanks for that. Get outta town Ralph🤮

They’ve already destroyed the brand . Do they really need to be so callous as to drag the corpse through the mud as well. Fire his sorry ass and get people in here that know wtf they are doing.

I think you have to get guys who could step in and help turn this thing around now. Futures are fine but we need players that are on a fast development track or established already. Or both.

As much as I hate them I enjoy the Bruins for their style of play. The toughness that runs through the lineup. I’m not talking about pugilists. I’m talking about team toughness. Lots of skill and they battle for every puck. Like Tampa for much the same reason. Its no coincidence these are the teams that advance in the playoffs when the rough and tumble style of play ramps up. They go to war with and for each other. They also have great leadership that holds each other accountable. I watch the nucks because of their proximity to where I live. They have some great young talent but need to find some consistency.

Hey Happy Birthday Radar ! Enjoy !

I wonder what Ralph has measured his whole career on ? Coaching a winning hockey team ? You’ve got your work cut out for you Ralph. I’m looking for an encouraging sign and mmm not really seeing any.

Yeah he did say in his words teams are not running over each other. Which implies that hitting has eased off in some tangible way. I haven’t seen that at all and I watch a lot of non sabres games since sabres games are pretty much unwatchable.

Ralph. “ I’d appreciate if you boys could get through this game without any hitting . The game has moved past that. Players. “ We’d appreciate that too coach.”

Its in the news feed in one of the articles from this morning. I’d provide a link if I was capable. Lol

I like to call him ‘ not exactly a hockey coach ‘

Ralph apparently doesn’t believe in team toughness or grit. After the 2nd Isles loss this weekend he said the national hockey league isn’t a league where people are running each other over. He obviously hasn’t been watching the level of compete in the other teams in the league and this is the shite he’s been feeding his players as well. I’ve watched multiple games where both teams compete for the puck much like they always have in this league. Nothing has changed in that regard. Huge hits and using huge hits as intimidation are everywhere. Boston/ Washington is one of the recent examples. Ralph has the lowest penalized team in the league and its by design.

This screams spineless. Someone needs to say this system isn’t working. The fans see the results. The players look to be unsure, confused, unable to do the simplest things. What should be second nature at this point for most of these guys becomes a task that makes them second guess themselves. Anyways get a hockey coach in here. Ralph isn’t that.

I have real fears of his impact on our young players. The fact that he’s washed their minds to believe they are playing good hockey even as they lose for the umpteenth time under his watch. Can’t score 5 on 5 but they’re playing the right way. The mans a fraud. Little bit snake oil a little bit Tony Robbins.
