Yes and no. 

I think you hear "we like this part of his game, but we need a bit more that part". It seems as though we have heard two different situations mention physicality, training, and/or hard work. You almost never hear a HC or player publicly say "We work harder here then they did over there".

Well, that's not what was said, but it is what some of you heard.

More shots at Meatballs' coaching?

"We wanted to get him in some games, get him a little bit comfortable. I think we practice a little differently here. There's just a lot of new for him here. So [we've been] discussing some of the new, some quickness that can come back into his game, some physicality that could come back into his game."

Ya, because they want to win not "develop". 

I think the soft country club thing has been here as long as Pegula has. It gets debated but there's enough evidence to conclude it's a reality.

Since being traded, Okposo has played three games, averaging 11:09 of ice time, 0 pts, -1.  The Panthers are 1-1-1 in those games.

Healthy scratch in the three games since your check in. It looks like he’s truly injury insurance only.

It’s almost like he’s not a quality player on a playoff team…color me shocked.

He literally was injury insurance. That should come as no surprise.
