Grönberg-train. All aboard.

He works part time for the Avengers

"He’s a great coach,” said the Sabres’ Dahlin, who played for Grönborg at the 2018 Olympics. “He’s kind of North American style. It’s pretty similar, but of course he has his own thing.” Grönborg’s coaching style features a free-flowing game where players aren’t defined by their position. “We involve all five players in the defense as well as the offense,” he said. “The game is not as static anymore. Everyone needs to go outside the box a little bit. Forwards are not always forwards, and defensemen are not always defensemen. It’s the situation that steers that and dictates it. That’s how you raise the pace of the game.” On identifying a team's strengths. “Everyone wants to talk about fast-paced games, and I agree with that. I like that part of it. But sometimes you just don’t have that kind of a team. Well, then you have to make adjustments to a new way of thinking. So I think the biggest thing is the adjustment part of it and agree on ‘this is our strengths’ and how do you get games to play into our strengths?” “There’s so much information out there – for coaches, especially – but how do you boil everything down to what’s important to you and your team and your environment? I think that’s the biggest key because the information is all over the place. I mean, you’ve got video, you’ve got analytics, you’ve got what I call soft value, which is working with the players individually and within the team. They’re not robots, you know? There needs to be a balance of everything."

Sorry, don't know the SS policy on cut n pasting. ?

Prob linked earlier but this is a good read.... https://theathletic.com/942738/2019/04/24/i-like-to-break-barriers-how-swedish-national-team-coach-rikard-gronborg-has-put-himself-into-contention-for-the-sabres-job/

Would take Hayes and Duchene on those terms tbh.

Wait... What?

I'm going for the perfect score here, lol. 100% incorrect.

That didn't age well.

What happened with Pekar? Was he out for the season, but sent to roc to be around the team?

I'm new recruit for the Purple Army!

Seems that freesports.tv has the full tournament too!

Agreed. Didn't realize how good McKinnon is until watching this series.

My bracket is gubbed. Thanks Tampa. But I have Calgary for the cup

Eichel's celly in the Boston game. Dahlin. Just being Dahlin.

A win for upl ~ 0.941 save %. Goal and assist for Thompson too. Taylor leier seems to be playing well too. 2 goals and an assist tonight.

To be honest, I've totally lost interest. I've only been to a couple of games this season. Which is hard to say, as I've been going to games for over 30 years. It's me and my Dad's time away from the rest of the famy! Haven't eveb watched any big games on TV either for a couple of years. The games are really expensive now for diabolical football. I can go watch the Glasgow Clan play hockey for less money, and it's a far more enjoyable experience!

So my Football team (soccer), Greenock Morton, is performing a remarkable sabres-like impression and could be relegated out the 2nd tier here in Scotland. With the owner passing away last summer and his shares in the club being divided among his remaining family we could be out of business as there is no-one who looks like stepping in to fund a loss making entity. Sad times.

UPL to start apparently.

Theres been some spectacular goaltending in these games.

Is this in case of lockout?
