    With all due respect to RJ maybe it's perfect timing to revamp the whole thing to try to help create a new vibe for the beginning of a new era. 

    Unfortunately, the torch is probably going to be passed to Dan.

    What moves did HCPH do tonight to overcome them going down in the game early? 

    Were the lines juggled? Was there any timeouts? Were there any goalie changes? I didn’t watch, so I’d like to know what he did. 

    Exact opposite actually. Nylander was paired with the 'offensive' 28 and 22, and he had under 8 minutes of total gameplay. In the presser, Phil said that him not playing enough was because of him not liking how his linemates were performing...

    Pairing Skinner with Okposo also seemed like a great idea to try and get him out of this massive slump, right? Linus let 3 goals in period 1, but everyone including Hutton based on his comments last night know that a change in net is useless.

    This interests me.  I didn't watch his presser.  Can you elaborate?

    He was asked about the snowball effect with goals and briefly said they were veteran mistakes and was quickly dismissive with it as he was with all the others

    In regards to how tough this is at year's end, he mentions to keep pushing along or whatnot. He said the fans' response is justified. 

    In regards to Nylander's TOI being so low, there's tweets in this thread that sum it up, but he basically said he wasn't satisfied with how his linemates 28/22 were playing; I'll give Phil some slack here, after all, it's not like you're allowed to change lines up midway through the game! /s

     

    Same monotone, Dick Jauronesque responses; earlier in the year he seemed at least a little bit visibly frustrated and had some tone and variety in his answers. Now he's definitely just going through the motions.

    Lehner was one of the most dumped-on Sabres in my recollection.

    He was among the most disappointing players in one of the franchise's most disappointing eras in a market that cares and didn't want him in the first place.

    I am well-acquainted with the Vancouver media, the Buffalo media and the Canadian national sports media and fan bases. I am somewhat familiar with many other NHL markets.

    Chicken and the egg, sure. Nothing some winning won't fix, sure. But he's right.

     

    He didn't criticize the team at all. And he was almost certainly prompted by the reporter.

    Your first sentence, I'm not sure how you're saying that.

    As for the second sentence, I'm not sure and was basing my reply off of the article and nothing more; I'm not sure what the reporter said but that could be possible, but a couple times he brings up Buffalo, he chooses to transition to it on his own it seems.

    They didn't for Rex

    Rex requested to leave when Tyrod was benched for EJ in the last week so the Bills wouldn't have to be on the hook for $27M guaranteed for injury. That decision wasn't his, and he asked if he and his brother could be dismissed immediately.

    The greatest moment of this season will be Pommers playing goalie against his own shot (I forget which game).  That says it all about this year.  

    Edmonton. I was interested in going to that game to see McDavid (eventually miss an empty net lol). That'll be the last penny I spend on this team until major improvements in coaching, management, and player execution.
