deluca67 Posted March 2, 2009 Report Posted March 2, 2009 Could this be the annual "You need to step up your game because no help is coming at the deadline" meeting?
nobody Posted March 2, 2009 Report Posted March 2, 2009 No one is coming and a few of you will be gone meeting.
Claude Balls Posted March 2, 2009 Report Posted March 2, 2009 The goddamn fax machine is broken again so you're all staying here for the remainder of the season speech.
Buffalo Wings Posted March 2, 2009 Report Posted March 2, 2009 What's this all about? Players-only meeting? Lindy giving them the business? :unsure:
deluca67 Posted March 2, 2009 Author Report Posted March 2, 2009 What's this all about? Players-only meeting? Lindy giving them the business? :unsure: I guess a link would be helpful. Meeting.
LabattBlue Posted March 2, 2009 Report Posted March 2, 2009 Well now we know two things. They are playing like #%^$#! and they don't know how to conduct an efficient meeting. 3-1/2 hours? :wallbash: :wallbash: :wallbash:
nobody Posted March 2, 2009 Report Posted March 2, 2009 >>Maxim Afinogenov skated on a line with Tim Connolly and Ales Kotalik. I guess that is a good indication that Connolly will be traded. ;)
That Aud Smell Posted March 2, 2009 Report Posted March 2, 2009 and they don't know how to conduct an efficient meeting. 3-1/2 hours? in fairness, blue, the large majority of that time was probably spent (i) waiting for jaro to emerge from the bathroom where he was no doubt taking an epic dump and (ii) waiting patiently for pommers and millsy to finish crying it out.
wonderbread Posted March 2, 2009 Report Posted March 2, 2009 Well now we know two things. They are playing like #%^$#! and they don't know how to conduct an efficient meeting. 3-1/2 hours? :wallbash: :wallbash: :wallbash: sounds like they work for my company.
nobody Posted March 2, 2009 Report Posted March 2, 2009 There is also this link from Mike Harrington on the News
LabattBlue Posted March 2, 2009 Report Posted March 2, 2009 sounds like they work for my company. Likewise. My guess is 90% of the time was spent in silence waiting for someone to speak up. :rolleyes:
Kristian Posted March 2, 2009 Report Posted March 2, 2009 My guess is that it took three hours alone for one of the brat pack to open his mouth and tell Hecht and Pominville there's a "slight room for improvement".
deluca67 Posted March 2, 2009 Author Report Posted March 2, 2009 There is also this link from Mike Harrington on the News This may be the most shocking bit of info in either report. "the corps of reporters on hand". I always thought it was just Paul Hamilton.
Kristian Posted March 2, 2009 Report Posted March 2, 2009 Likewise. My guess is 90% of the time was spent in silence waiting for someone to speak up. :rolleyes: Beat me to it :thumbsup:
wonderbread Posted March 2, 2009 Report Posted March 2, 2009 Likewise. My guess is 90% of the time was spent in silence waiting for someone to speak up. :rolleyes: With this team I am surprised that the meeting ended. It seems all they do is talk.
wonderbread Posted March 2, 2009 Report Posted March 2, 2009 My guess is that it took three hours alone for one of the brat pack to open his mouth and tell Hecht and Pominville there's a "slight room for improvement". How about their play "is less than inspiring".
Kristian Posted March 2, 2009 Report Posted March 2, 2009 With this team I am surprised that the meeting ended. It seems all they do is talk. You don't suppose that's what the meeting was about, do you? "Right guys, we need a set of postgame quotes, the others are getting worn out - Anyone know a different way of saying 'we need to work harder'....."?
Kristian Posted March 2, 2009 Report Posted March 2, 2009 How about their play "is less than inspiring". Hmmm.... Too harsh I think....? *Dislcaimer Before anybody starts flaming away at all the doom and gloom in here, there is such a thing as making the best of a frustrating situation with a little thing called humor, so don't take all this garbage too seriously, ok? :thumbsup:
wonderbread Posted March 2, 2009 Report Posted March 2, 2009 You don't suppose that's what the meeting was about, do you? "Right guys, we need a set of postgame quotes, the others are getting worn out - Anyone know a different way of saying 'we need to work harder'....."? Here's a good one. "They played better than we did. That's the bottom line. They made more plays. I thought their puck movement was better. They deserve a lot of credit." -- Sabres coach Lindy Ruff on the 2-0 loss to the Islanders.
millbank Posted March 2, 2009 Report Posted March 2, 2009 i figure the players were told they had to make some bread, so they have been busy mixing the dough, letting it rise , then placing it in the pans, letting it rise again , then baking it, which would take about 3 1/2 hours.... its obvious :unsure:
Kristian Posted March 2, 2009 Report Posted March 2, 2009 Here's a good one. "They played better than we did. That's the bottom line. They made more plays. I thought their puck movement was better. They deserve a lot of credit." -- Sabres coach Lindy Ruff on the 2-0 loss to the Islanders. But would the brat pack approve.....? BTW I think Millbank nailed it, shame on us for thinking it was hockey related :doh:
deluca67 Posted March 2, 2009 Author Report Posted March 2, 2009 They were planning the teams two week golf vacation scheduled for April 12th.
millbank Posted March 2, 2009 Report Posted March 2, 2009 oh Thank you Kristian, i was thinking i would get so ridiculed.... :w00t: But would the brat pack approve.....? BTW I think Millbank nailed it, shame on us for thinking it was hockey related :doh:
2ForTripping Posted March 2, 2009 Report Posted March 2, 2009 3 and a half hours! Not surprised by this at all. No one in the room has a pair to even stand up and have a let's all come to Jesus meeting. I can venture a guess that the room was as quite as a rat pissing on cotton. Until Lindy hopefully lost his #%^$#! and got loud.
wjag Posted March 2, 2009 Report Posted March 2, 2009 Fascinating... Lots of supposition by lots of folks that weren't in the room! I guess that is what we do best on this board.
