Forecheck Posted January 3 Report Posted January 3 1 minute ago, Pimlach said: It happened again. They choked in almost the exact fashion. Wow. The led the entire game. Then they stopped attacking. After Bensons controversial goal, the fans and Avs got mad. The Sabres got timid and changed what they were doing. All downhill from there. 1 Quote
HumanSlinky39 Posted January 3 Report Posted January 3 Seriously, gut the management of this team at every level. Top to bottom failure this year. Again. 1 Quote
Archie Lee Posted January 3 Report Posted January 3 Per NHL.com, we won 55% of face-offs. But, we lost the last 6-8 in a row. Face-offs matter when they matter. We won none when they mattered. 1 Quote

They had a two goal lead with 3:52 left and they lost. This point means nothing and the psychological damage is there. 1 1 Quote

Most of them come from winning programs and are used to at least some form of success. So they’re generally not hyper focused on mental toughness to such a degree that they would be prepared to come to a franchise that is stuck in a groundhogs day negative energy loop. I said it earlier, the guys on this team are more comfortable when they’re losing. Comfortable doesn’t mean you’re happy with it, but they feel more comfortable in this state. I’m actually starting to think that the only way to turn this around to ever become a playoff team would be to have a team mostly full of veterans. You can bring the most talented Young players you want, but the energy is so bad here that you would need to be experienced and very mentally tough to handle this environment on a consistent basis. And I haven’t heard anyone in the organization mention putting a priority focus on sports psychology to any degree. Edited January 3 by K012010 Quote
7+6=13 Posted January 3 Report Posted January 3 That was rough. I saw the team skating off the ice and felt awful for them. Quote

When you have multiple coaches that have succeeded in many other places but seem to have the same issue here eventually you have to look at the constants involved which are the players. 1 Quote
