100 team meetings since January 1

[Stoner]

RaKru dropped this in his pregame presser yesterday. He said the meetings are to make clear what expectations are.

That seems like a lot. Are these guys having their heads filled with too much (fill in the blank)?

I'm sure most of us can relate to how too many meetings in the workplace can be counter-productive.

Krueger is Michael Scott confirmed. 

[Scottysabres]

Sabres meetings ?

 

[bunomatic]

I can only imagine team meetings where Ralph drones on and on about his supreme intelligence while the players master the art of sleeping with their eyes open.

We have actual video of one Ralph's team meetings......

100 team meetings since 1/1/21?

Today is 2/26/21. There’s been 100 meetings in 57 days?

No wonder this team sucks donkey balls. That’s not only unnecessary, but beyond insane. 

Imagine working with your boss every day AND having to be told what your job is in two meetings every day by him.

Peczactly.  No wonder Skinner hates him.

Depends on how many whiteboards there are

[PerreaultForever]

To be fair, what does he mean by "team meeting"? Maybe all he's saying is the team gathers before practice/game for 5 minutes and after for 5 minutes. That'd easily be 100. But sure, lets keep dumping on Ralph and giving the slack players who have been here for years a pass.

We could use a lightning strike or two.

Is Ralph a whiteboard guy? I'm not sure. I do imagine him handing out individually tailored "mission statements". When Skinner gets his it just says this...

YOU SUCK!

If my boss had 100 meetings with me in 57 days, bad things would happen. On a lighter note, I’d stop listening and start hating on him/her. In a word, unproductive 

[Torpedo Forecheck]

Establishment of the RaKru cult! This should really help with signing FAs. Oh and yeah Skinner treatment is a big plus for siging FAs too. We must be in the Whaley/Rex category by now around the league.

[Curt]

This doesn’t mean anything.  What’s a meeting for a hockey team?

-practice?

-film session?

-morning skate?

-pregame skate?

-gathering around to meet for 10 mins before or after any on ice time?

I don’t think this number is high really.

[Claude Balls]

This team is so dysfunctional it's not even funny anymore. The players don't need the meetings, the Pegulas and upper mgmt need the meetings. What a ***** show.

And everyone keeps ignoring this comment...

Just assuming it's some 45 minute session each time.  Maybe it is, maybe it isn't.  All we know is there were meetings.  There could meetings for power play, penalty kill, forwards, defense, goaltenders, etc.

What does the official “meeting counter person” consider a team meeting?

I bet this is overblown and exaggerated.

Someone must have told RK that number. And he regurgitated it to the media.

Every time we line up for espresso +1

I bet Ralph tells Skinner to go sit in the Press Box during the meetings....

[Andrew Amerk]

I’d like one meeting with Ralph. 

[KC Scouts]

He could have 5 meetings a day if he wants...But if he can't communicate or worse has no idea what he is talking about, it matters not.

The hardest thing for intellectuals (Ralph portrays himself as one) is to know when to STFU.

[Scottysabres]

"This team needs a players only meeting, everyone in to the room, except you Dylan, we can't afford any more injuries. The rest of you, grab your juice boxes and binky's and get in here".....

Team meetings? Or x’s and o’s meetings?

If it’s the former, that’s an INSANE number, and a surefire to make sure you get tuned out.

It’s like that guy in office meetings who always rambles on long after everyone’s pretty much agreed on an approach, yet he just keeps talking, regardless.

Whenever that guy opens his mouth, everyone’s busy doing different things in their minds, while pretending to listen.

X’s and O’s? Meh, I’d expect several on game day alone.

100 meeting in 57 days and Ralph does not know when Eichel got hurt?  
 

Well, Pegula said he liked a lot of communication, didn’t he?  

[Radar]

Most wasted part of my work days before retirement were spent in meetings. Just go to work!!
