  1. This was my first thought but then I decided, no, it’s more fun to ignore them too.
  2. I don’t disagree that these players have all developed while under Granato, but it can’t be discounted that they almost all have incredibly high draft pedigrees and aren’t really significantly ahead of any of their drafted peers. He’s overseen a lot of development. He’s freed Dahlin of RaKru. I don’t think he’s had any outsized role in making these players better. These are all guys who should be good anyway. Tuch is different but he had a significantly larger role here than Vegas and stayed healthy for once. I think a lot of coaches could have gotten these players to what some might call their expected levels for their drafted position. The fact that they were behind progress when DG got here is another issue.
  3. The why in this is a very important question. Let’s not forget what our ownership thinks of our beat reporters.
  4. If you’re not willing to chant out against 13 years of futility because you’re afraid of losing the team, then you don’t care if they lose because having the team is what is important, not the result. Is there any proof of this? I’ve seen this a ton on the board. I don’t think he’s made many, if any, positive contributions to these players. I see very few players who are better at hockey or significantly ahead of their previous trajectory without DG.
  5. And if they don’t I don’t want them here. Id be very interested to be a fly on the wall in Clifton and Bryam’s exit interviews. I doubt either will stick their neck on the line, but they should no doubt have some important perspective.
  6. Alex Tuch went from being asked to be a role player/energy guy to being asked to be a play driver and offensive leader. I think that has impacted his mental game and hurt his on-ice performance.
  7. They certainly did on the Blue Ridge Parkway. I can’t speak to anywhere else.
  8. Traffic was insane for the last eclipse. They are right to be warning people. I’d expect standstill for periods of time.
  9. Yeah but they don’t wanna so what are we gonna do 🤷‍♀️
  10. "It's unacceptable," added Rasmus Dahlin. "It felt like everything was just going against us and we had no rhythm." Imagine a team that took any ownership whatsoever.
  11. Won’t you think of the pressure these guys are under? Some of you guys are ridiculous.
  12. I don’t think so at all. I’ve played with some really skilled guys who if they couldn’t go through or around everyone they were completely lost on the ice. I definitely think there’s guys that have had to think a lot more about the game and positioning and strategy to stick with their peers and that shows in their game.
