And poor coaching

You and I both. Under Ralph Hall looks totally washed up. Don’t know why anyone would sign this player to an extension at this point. He looks like a shell of his former self.

Ralph couldn’t coach a pride of lions to eat a lame gazelle. Nobody on this team can score in Ralphs system. Oddly enough these games remind me of premier league football where scores are often 1-0 etc. It is absolutely terrible to watch. There’s no getting around that. Once again this team is a laughing stock. When will the Pegulas ever learn ?

At some point we need to see results. Not sure what else to say. We are a tank worthy team getting tank like results. Thats not what this particular coach sold himself to the Pegulas as. Did he misrepresent himself and his abilities ? Is he really this bad ? Is this team really this bad ?

These are not brothers in arms.

I don’t hate this team but I’m certainly starting to hate these coaches. Can you coach the life out of a team ? Can you throw so much information at players that they forget to do what comes instinctually ? Can you take everything a player learned to love about hockey while growing up and coach it out of them ? Cause I’ll tell you they play like they hate this game. And I certainly can’t find anything enjoyable in what I’m seeing. Our best players can’t score. Our most promising D man looks like he’s afraid to make a mistake. Our franchise player looks disinterested most of the time. Our offseason grab who’s playing for his next contract is pretty much invisible and can’t score. At some point you have to look at systems and how these guys are being prepared. Is the coach putting players in a position to succeed ? Certainly not in Skinners case. And where is GM KAdams ? Anyhoo I’ll let myself out.

Coaching

I do enjoy Marty. He paid attention when he played. Rob not so much. And I was a huge fan of Rob when he played.

If I have to hear Rays ball washing of this organization one more time I’ll pull an Elvis and shoot the tv. These guys are doing a great job with coaching, scouting, talent evaluation, special teams, player development etc. I’ll say what I said last night. I’m not seeing results Rob. Where is the praise warrented ? None of these players, coaches , talent evaluators are doing a good job Robbie boy cause there are no good results to back up your claims. Show me the frikken money. I need to see results to believe anything that comes out of your mouth. Its all lip service at this point.

Ralph keeps saying the players are playing the right way. That they’re learning the good habits. But they’re not getting results Ralph. So is it the right way or are you wrong in your approach to coaching this particular group of guys. Your best players can’t score at 5 on 5 in your system Ralph. If they keep playing the right way the results will come. I still ain’t seeing any results Ralph. You sure its not the system ?

Doomed. This team is ...all together now. DOOMED . hard enough with a full squad of capable nhlers but with this squad of iregulars , has beens and never beens , I dunno.

10% of 19 000 people. 1900 ? How many people in a shopping mall ? How many go through Costco on a Saturday ? A Walmart ? Not sure why 1900 socially distanced fans can’t safely watch live hockey. How many were at the super bowl ?

The league really #%€¥ed this covid situation up but I ain’t going to panic. Its par for the course.

Vlad Laine ain’t going to last long in Columbus.

And false positives ?

I suppose I likely purchased NHL tv prematurely.😳with players dropping like flys is there any doubt that the season is in jeopardy ?

There’s so much good hockey out there that doesn’t include the Sabres. Not sure if its the players or the coaching. Or a little of both.

Our trips to the finals. How can anything else compare ? Its what you want. To be the best at your craft. Unfortunately we fell short. Anyhoo those are the high points for me.

So much this.

Yup. Punished for the leagues ineptitude. The season just got tougher than it already was.

Reminds me of the leagues stance on concussions and how they’ve done everything they can to downplay hockeys role in the head injuries that have occurred to date. This covid thing is kind of like that. Distance the leagues culpability for financial reasons.

For gawds sake don’t cut his hair. He’ll lose his strength.

The flavour is dishwater. 🤢

Such terrible coffee.

Whats that say when you play a team that has 5 or 6 guys that apparently have covid and you lose.😳Covid protocols seem to be working just great Gary.
