GDT:The Season Opener! Montreal at Buffalo 10/14/21 7pm MSG, WGR550
K-9 replied to Brawndo's topic in The Aud Club
Yep. And no sign of Alamo mode in the third. Granato is different. -

We just took a Stanley Cup finalist to the woodshed. Nice. -

Let’s hope this becomes infectious. Habs looking like last night has caught up a bit. -

Fair enough. But I’m sticking with the NOT surprising Buffalo Sabres -

I’m not surprised in the least. We saw this group give high effort once Granato took over last March. We are winning due to that continued high effort. -

Easy to get behind this kind of effort. Nice. -

Yes, every game. There are gonna be games like the second half of a back to back in a 3 game in 4 night stretch where they just won’t have their legs, but I won’t confuse fatigue with lack of effort. In recent seasons, particularly last season when they were out of it early and they just went thru the motions it was plain as day that several players just didn’t give a crap. -

Were you really expecting this team to look better with their top players from last year no longer here? Here’s one area I guarantee they will be better at: giving a crap and actually giving maximum effort for 60 minutes ona regular basis. -

It would be funny if he had to physically come in and pick up his paycheck. -

Eichel isn’t even in Buffalo. He is part of this team in name only. He’s the poster child for persona non grata. -

Dreger: Eichel situation may be shifting, multiple teams involved
K-9 replied to Hoss's topic in The Aud Club
Yep and I’m grateful for this reminder. When we persist in talking past one another, it’s time to move on to another subject. My apologies to the board for contributing to the beating of this rotted corpse of a horse. -
Dreger: Eichel situation may be shifting, multiple teams involved
K-9 replied to Hoss's topic in The Aud Club
And, again, you insist on implying that he provided a determination based upon what the team wanted not based on his own assessment of the injury. Are you of the opinion that he didn’t consult the images and other records? That he didn’t consult with the doctors charged with treating him? He just made a medical determination based on what his employer needed to hear? -

It’s like that old Joan Rivers joke about the gynecologist: “Dr. Goldfinger at your cervix.” 😂 -

Fantastic info. Thanks for sharing this. It’s amazing what medical science can design and engineer. -
Is Don Granato the best coach the Sabres have had since Lindy Ruff?
K-9 replied to LGR4GM's topic in The Aud Club
Too early to say relative to performance of the team on the ice, which is all that matters obviously, but he’s by far the best since Lindy when it comes to interviews. -

I’m not sure that advocacy for ADR in the lumbar region automatically equates to advocacy for cervical ADR. The former is far more common and approved by insurance companies. The latter carries more inherent risk apparently. -

K-9 replied to Hoss's topic in The Aud Club
I don’t think you mean to impugn his character, but all the same, you are saying that he arrived at a determination based on what the Sabres want and not what’s best for the treatment of the player. That also implies that even if Dr. Cappuccino would recommend ADR, that he would say otherwise, as if he’s precluded from his own independent findings. I just don’t buy that. -

K-9 replied to Hoss's topic in The Aud Club
Did he examine Eichel or not? If not, did he consult with the doctors that did? Did he evaluate the images? Did he offer his best medical advice (which happens to agree with medical best practices) based on those evaluations? This idea that he willingly chooses to forego what’s best in his opinion in favor of an alternative treatment just to rubber stamp the Sabres desire is unfounded imo. It’s a direct attack on his character and qualifications as the preeminent physician in his field. In his history as a called expert witness in court, has he had his character called into question? Is there precedence for this? And I’m not sure how his advice “protects” the team. How? What’s he protecting the team from? Approving a procedure that the majority of his peers are against as well? Is it a question of the Sabres forcing him to approve one procedure because the insurance company won’t approve the other? That just isn’t in his purview. I just don’t understand the idea that he is somehow being dishonest here.
