Believer

Agree and said so in a post on the game day thread early yesterday morning… Whoever spoke to Harrington didn’t have the backbone to go on the record… Why not?… Afraid his teammates would be upset with him for making their boycott public?… Doubt the fans would have singled him out for spilling the beans… He did the club and the fans a service, imo… Daylight kills virus. Fact is Okposo participated… Tells me either he was in agreement with the boycott… or, if not, wasn’t able to convince his teammates to not do it… Either way, KO failed as a Captain… Makes it easier to understand the dysfunction of the team… As an aside, KA must be disappointed as well given his focus on character… Guessing he has already addressed it with the team.

Call me old school, but this home victory salute boycott is disappointing on so many levels… Now that this team protest against the fans is public knowledge, don’t see how KA and DG can sanction Okposo as Captain… His participation is the antithesis of leadership… He should step aside voluntarily, but doubt he will… Suppose the rationale for allowing him to continue as Captain is it is the player’s choice, not management’s. Disappointed in KO… What a dysfunctional outfit… There is toxin in the locker room… KA needs to excise it.

Idk who the anonymous player is who spoke with Harrington about the teams recent anger at fans… Whoever it is lacks the backbone to go on the record criticizing fans who are booing poor performances at home… and those chanting for Granato to be fired… If players don’t like the fan reaction, players can decide among themselves to compete hard every night at home, not just some nights… Too often this season the team quit when we got behind early in a game… Fans hate quitters… It was noted the other night by their coach the Florida Panthers players are accountable to themselves… He pointed to their physicality and the fact their players finish every check and go hard to the net… Our players could learn by Florida’s example… As for Adams and Granato, they own the team they put on the ice… Youth and experience aside, attitude is everything, and the fact the players chose to not celebrate a win at home with their fans without prompting speaks worlds about their attitude… This is a leadership issue… GM, Head Coach, and Captain… If players believe there is no need for leadership changes, it is on them to perform for their leaders and their fans. Grow up, boys.

Come from behind victory… Sweet win… Happy flight home.

Jokiharju… Boom… From the slot… Nice pass by Tuch

Thompson has had a bad night… Losing passes… No O-zone mojo… Chance to recover in OT

Wow… Needed that bad… Bravo, Greenway

And Shooting practice.

Krebs and Benson no SOG… Cozens 1 shot… Cant win when we don’t shoot.

8 shots between Skinner, Thompson and Tuch…

Crap

We score first!… Boom… Mitts!

Nice Roswell Park ad with Granato.

Sabres 3 shots in 20 minutes… And we wonder why we don’t win close games… Granato must be berserk

UPL keeping us in it…

UPL

UPL

Way too much back passing before getting through the neutral zone… Just wasting seconds…

Damn

Sweet play… Thompson… Boom

Thompson has a wicked wrist shot as well… Needs to take the puck into the slot and throw one every once in awhile…

Refs are active.

Have to believe the team gets a script something like you describe… but the players don’t commit to it 100%… No leadership.

Early in the season after our slow start, I recall Paul Hamilton remarking adamantly in an intermission interview… “Hits don’t matter!” Laughable… It’s no wonder we are soft…

Stay strong.
