    Jesus dude, i know im a ruff fanboy, but not sure what is wrong with this hire and seems to me it gives the fanbase more oxygen than last 6 years.

    A coach who has “fans” who are going to take banners to the arena and describe themselves as fanboys only proves my point. It was unbearable at the end and it’s going to be unbearable moving forward. The people cheering for the head coach and not the team will prove that to be the case.

    Relax, try decaf, have patience.

    The cult will not relax. I’m not lying when I made the comparison to the Doug Flutie cult. 

    In what other scenario does someone take a banner to a game for a head coach on a losing hockey team?

    And of the team wins Lindy gets a credit. And if the team loses it’s those loser players and that loser GM who are standing in the way of Lindy‘s glory. 

    And it is all we will hear.

  3. The list of coaches that people say they want is always the same few people every year (they’ve been mentioned 1000 times in this topic). I don’t really keep tabs on other teams, so I’m not a coaching authority, but I would say I have never heard of 50% of the current NHL coaches in the league. 

    I’m certain there’s lots of qualified people out there that nobody has ever heard of, nor one that anyone mentions. I think the constant focus on just three or four high profile guys is really setting us up for disappointment.

    As Kas23 mentioned large hospital groups and even Health Insurance Companies are buying up everything to maximize profits.

    Accountability was the first word to immediately come to mind as I opened this thread. Even if players do want some veteran leadership brought in, I don’t want to hear them say it. I want to hear exactly what is said here, “we need to step up”. Adding and players stepping up, the two aren’t mutually exclusive,  it there’s only one side that a player can take care of. 

    I brought this up in the past, but I’ll drop it here again. Accountability is this amorphous term that people throw around that means something different in everyone’s head.

    No one ever defines what they think it means, what that actually looks like in practice, and how it would manifest itself in an exact situation that happened.

    You never heard anything about him taking players aside and letting them know play was unacceptable. 

    Why would you hear this? Who is the person who’s going to divulge this to the media? Kyle? The player he’s talking to?

    I don’t think the players need motivation to play, I think they want guided motivation to help focus their energy. I have never doubted that the players work hard to get better and play in games with energy. I just believe they don’t exactly focus on anything in particular and accomplish nothing because of it.

    If I was to give an information free guess, I could easily see the following situation. Granato being a development guy, may have been predisposed to a less coach-centric practice and relying on more player-centric.

    The best example I have of this would be analogous to the Boy Scouts. If you truly have a boy lead troop, it’s ugly. It’s inefficient. It is often unorganized. It drives adults nuts. But it is essential for the boys to do it themselves and figure it out if you want the boys to learn. Learning is best done by doing and not being told what to do.

    In youth soccer, this coaching philosophy is called guided discovery.

    This is just a wild ass guess on my part, but that mindset seems plausible to me.

    So Hamilton is basically saying Cozens lost his love for hockey in Buffalo? idk, I didn't like his exit interview clip. He seemed flat and detached and it lacked himself taking any personal responsibility. Unlike Tuch, he never says "I" need to be better. After seeing it I thought I was wrong about Cozens and he is definitely not captain material. 

    If a locker clean out interview is enough to change your mind then this suggests that maybe (most) fans don’t actually have enough information to make such decisions.
