Buffalonill Posted January 29 Report Posted January 29 Yeah i'm gonna be that Old person that yells at a cloud.. But I can't be the only one that is annoyed with this team Going to cabo for the "break" When they did absolutely nothing to deserve a vacation. I mean holy s*** Don't they get enough vacation time when they aren't in the playoffs . You would think maybe they would come together and be like you know what guys let's Practice everyday instead of taking the vacation so we're ready . Never mind it's probably all the alcohol that's flowing through my veins 1 1 1 1 1 Quote

pi2000 Posted January 29 Report Posted January 29 These kids need their mental break. It's just how it is these days. Quote
Wyldnwoody44 Posted January 29 Report Posted January 29 I'm just sad they picked Cabo. I guess I can't really be upset about people traveling when they can, I have zero room to talk there. But.... They suck as a team and this trip isn't helping them at all. Quote
ska-T Chitown Posted January 30 Report Posted January 30 I am fascinated by SS's general fascination with how players spend their free time and the implication that if they are not shooting pucks 24-7, they are not "serious" about hockey. As someone pointed out in a different thread, these "kids" seem to be pretty tame compared to past generations. Playing X-Box or Playstation or honestly whatever TF they want when it is not time to be on the ice or in the video room ... good for them. One side of SS mouths <ugh, these guys don't have any cohesion as a team> ... team takes a trip together ... Other side of SS mouths <ugh, these guys are on vacation together?> Poor Mitts gets a lot of $hit for hosting parties to try to build esprit de corps ... and I think most folks here would agree that Casey's year-over-year progress is pretty darned good and we'd be happy if other players improved their game the way he has. The USNDP uses certain video games with its players to improve hand-eye coordination and reaction times to certain hockey-like situations. Science! I henceforth call BS on any claims without substantial proof (like, the real kind) of any player now (McJesus? Crobsy?) or past (Mario? Poodle Hair? Mogilny? Patty L?) that did not do something non-hockey related during their spare time. It is not possible, especially in-season. Burn out is real. I await my Red X's 1 1 Quote

Ya, it's all negotiated and mandated and that is the way it is. The time for running them through it and setting the (higher) level of expectation was training camp. Granato instead, coddled them, told them all how great they were, and just got through it as if it didn't matter. They were just one point out. No need to change anything right? Quote

Gatorman0519 Posted January 30 Report Posted January 30 Taking vacations away from people is toxic. Especially as a form of punishment. Quote

bob_sauve28 Posted January 30 Report Posted January 30 Don't they know we fans are displeased? Why are these players even getting food? I say we beat them into shape and not let them enjoy life until they do better! Quote

I say we beat them into shape and not let them enjoy life until they do better! Hahaha… Hmm… Maybe something in between WorkingOnTheirTan… and TwoADays… Nobody begrudges players getting a handful of days R&R in the sun away from Buffalo winter weather… but you would expect a handful of days at the rink working on their game as well… Especially if the Coaches, Captain, and team leaders believe they can still get a playoff spot, unlikely as it is. Time for both work and play during the All-Star break… 1 Quote
Pimlach Posted January 30 Report Posted January 30 They definitely need a break from the game. How they take that break is their business. Together, separate, home or away - does not matter to me one bit. This is not the 60's were they are going to sell cars on their time off because they need money to pay bills. Repair, recover, rest, look at video, train, and get yourselves ready for the final run of the season. 2 Quote
