I honestly don't know why he's wasting his time with this trash. Enjoy retirement.

Glad it took Lindy 40+ games to figure it out.  This is how they play almost exclusively.  This isn’t a today problem. Or a new problem.  It’s a consistent problem.  Shame on KA for not recognizing it and addressing it.  Plenty of veteran players out there that could have been the difference. Instead they invented in spineless children.  This team will never succeed until they demonstrate they understand what winning professional hockey players look  like.  It’s ain’t most of these guys.

If that is the exact quote, it appears he called their 'play' in the 2nd period embarassing, he didn't say the team, as in the players that constitute it, embarassing.

The title of thread led me to beleieve the latter, it is more of the former.

There is a big difference to me in saying "the team is embarassing" rather than "the team's play in the 2nd period was embarassing".

“Embarrassing” is much too kind a word to use for this group of losers.

Can you clarify the difference between “the team” and “the team’s play?” I just don’t see much of a difference, but I’m open to expanding my viewpoint on the matter.

The team's play mean that in one particular period of time they did not play well.

The team itself, you are saying its not their play 'for one period', but rather as a player the are embarassing.

Personally...I would much rather have my boss tell me "your presentation on Tuesday was embarassing" rather than tell me "as an employee, you are embarassing".

Did Lindy not watch the 3rd period?

Let's be clear - the team is embarrassing. Not just their play in the second period today.

I don’t get the distinction. IMO, his message to the team was one and the same.

He coaches them, doesn't he? What's he waiting for?
