I want solutions that include Jack but if the whining ( if it exists ) continues with Jack and his things better improve here or I’ll take my toys and leave routine, all bets are off. This team needs a leader who bears down and helps pull his teammates up with him not a child. The moping and stick breaking is not leadership. Hopefully he grows through this.

Going to the mountain today. Snowshoeing and tubing. Hope the boys win but not holding out hope with the current state of the goaltending.

I can only imagine team meetings where Ralph drones on and on about his supreme intelligence while the players master the art of sleeping with their eyes open.

Always the bridesmaid

Leafs will grab him. They seem to be in on every trade ( according to media ) and are collecting players willy nilly.

Well it appears my earlier pep talk worked. At least for me. A solid effort by pretty much everyone and some timely saves does wonders for the win column and the mood. No complaints from buno and that goes for you too Ralph.

Ok. Gloves are off. I said no more abuse towards the player or coach but Ralph is a knob. As long as the players put in an effort I’ll back them. That includes you Jack. Give an honest effort injury or not and we good. Ralph you don’t appear to have a clue what you’re doing so get stuffed. I’d be happy with a coaching change at this point regardless of how disfunctional it makes us.

Can we start talking about the draft lottery and will the league try to screw the sabres by changing the rules ? all hope is lost.

Ralph.”I’ll coach some defence into these guys ! Who gives a damn about the season.”

Not sure Ralph could squeeze a goal out of him with his high octane offensive juggernaut of a system.

I’ve never liked another team. I’m not sure I could. But man do I need a winning team to root for. Ten years I’ll never get back. Thanks for nothing Terry. Ya smuck.

Man this sucks. Get well Jake.

In the meantime our offence completely dries up and with our mediocre goaltending we miss the playoffs again. Not sure what to say. Hopefully coach finds the balance but for this year its too late. Its a lose lose situation.

True maybe its just Ralphs system but something has taken any semblance of offence away from these formerly offensive players and talented players capable of putting up numbers don’t just lose that ability all at the same time unless coaching.

They’ll never learn. And now they’re getting ready to open up the vault and saddle us with Taylor Hall.

Coaching

Ray. He’s the only guy I know who talks about how great things are or how great a job everyone is doing as the clock ticks down in the final seconds of a 4-2 loss. He is the definition of a yes man.

I’m going to ease up on my vitriol here. Letting my anger flare towards the team and most notably the coach just isn’t right under these circumstances. A season without covid with these results yer darn tootin I’d bitch loud and proud. But these are unprecedented times and these players have unusual stresses. Hopefully Risto and the rest of the guys can recover both physically and mentally. Thats all.

And poor coaching

You and I both. Under Ralph Hall looks totally washed up. Don’t know why anyone would sign this player to an extension at this point. He looks like a shell of his former self.

Ralph couldn’t coach a pride of lions to eat a lame gazelle. Nobody on this team can score in Ralphs system. Oddly enough these games remind me of premier league football where scores are often 1-0 etc. It is absolutely terrible to watch. There’s no getting around that. Once again this team is a laughing stock. When will the Pegulas ever learn ?

At some point we need to see results. Not sure what else to say. We are a tank worthy team getting tank like results. Thats not what this particular coach sold himself to the Pegulas as. Did he misrepresent himself and his abilities ? Is he really this bad ? Is this team really this bad ?

These are not brothers in arms.

I don’t hate this team but I’m certainly starting to hate these coaches. Can you coach the life out of a team ? Can you throw so much information at players that they forget to do what comes instinctually ? Can you take everything a player learned to love about hockey while growing up and coach it out of them ? Cause I’ll tell you they play like they hate this game. And I certainly can’t find anything enjoyable in what I’m seeing. Our best players can’t score. Our most promising D man looks like he’s afraid to make a mistake. Our franchise player looks disinterested most of the time. Our offseason grab who’s playing for his next contract is pretty much invisible and can’t score. At some point you have to look at systems and how these guys are being prepared. Is the coach putting players in a position to succeed ? Certainly not in Skinners case. And where is GM KAdams ? Anyhoo I’ll let myself out.
