Neither of those words were used as insults but rather as descriptions.

It might be designed to do that. You might want the mask to come off easily in case of injury or some other circumstance. I don't know, just guessing.

Deservedly.

Okay, then block me or something. Jumping Christmas.

You're being very childish. The subject of the sentence you are quoting is Meatballs. You're taking a specific reference and arbitrarily broadening it to create a strawman. You should really just let this go. If I'm in the wrong it will reflect on me. However, whatever little victory you're trying to gain is making you look like a 12-year-old school hooligan. Wrong thread you are in.

Of course. That penalty was garbage. Technically correct but not called a lot unless the refs need an alibi in influencing the game.

Dunleavy vs the homer Edmonton crew.

Would Levi had gotten us through that zone pressure?

Why would I do that? I never made that claim. You're just following a rabid few here who put their knee-jerk reaction ahead of reason and are now trying to bully me into justifying incompetent reading and thinking. A cop once pulled me over and tried to get me to admit I wasn't wearing my seat belt when in fact I was. I just unbuckled it to reach into the glove box and retrieve my registration in an effort to be a nice, compliant citizen. What he really pulled me over for, which he'd never admit, was prior to that I didn't let him go through a four way stop first even though he clearly stopped after I did.

You desperately need a hug.

I said: "This is what happens when you hire milquetoast people who have never played in the NHL. Meatballs will never understand what it takes to compete at the NHL or even AHL level because he's never experienced it." Are those other coaches "milquetoast people"? No. I singled out Meatballs. You're bent out of shape over your strawman. Ira faxit stultitiam.

I've answered these attempts to level the field several times already. I am speaking about Granato. These other people figured it out by having the personal attributes that allowed them to figure it out. Granato is no match for Bowman's acumen. Not smart enough, not creative enough. Granato has shown absolutely no progress or aptitude as a NHL coach beyond what we have already seen.

This analogy is so Incongruous that it's reductio ad absurdume. Now if you were to use reaching the top of Mount Everest as your analogy then it wouldn't be as ridiculous.

I'm not talking about any of them, I am talking specifically about Granato. They figured it out. He can't. He's not smart or creative enough. The only asset he would have left after those to tap into would be experience and he has none of that, either.

Those coaches have proved they get it. Our coach has proved he does not and, because of his lack of experience, never will at this point. Or are we happy to have the coach of the Sabres learn how to coach at the NHL level on the fly? How much time should we give Meatballs? If you're a parent, have you ever had people who have never had kids try and explain to you how to raise kids? People who have never had children will never understand what it's like to have children. How is basically any other task different? This is bad folk wisdom; unqualified advice. Why learn from people who have never achieved any level of success in the task they're trying to teach? After a certain point in the "teaching", the teacher is just making guesses having never achieved beyond a certain level. So what? He never played at the AHL or NHL level. He has no idea what his players are going through or what it takes as an individual to succeed at those levels. The Sabres' record under him is PROOF of this. He can only get them so far. Meatballs doesn't know what it takes to coach players at the NHL level to be successful because he has never done it himself and, unlike some other coaches who weren't players but were successful NHL coaches, isn't smart or creative enough to figure out what it takes. Mitts' comments, and others like it, are coming from people who HAVE played NHL hockey and are super informative. Why discount the experience of real NHL players and the actual record when it comes to evaluating the ability of Meatballs? It's crazy to dismiss this input.

This is what happens when you hire milquetoast people who have never played in the NHL. Meatballs will never understand what it takes to compete at the NHL or even AHL level because he's never experienced it.

Another shot at Meatballs. There's no denying the theme in the comments from those who have escaped.

Mitts has to be beside himself with where he wound up at this point in his career.

Now if they can stay out of the penalty box in the third they stand a chance.

It looked like the video feed was on 1.25x speed for the last half of that period.

The bar is pretty low in Buffalo.
