    I build organizations & companies for a living. Culture trumps everything. You can have all the talent in the world and a sound strategic plan, but if everyone is not unified and aligned with the culture, you will fail. Period.

    I see that Kevin is building winning organization that will last. He is doing it the right way.

    A bit simplified, for sure, and even naïve, possibly, as many successful organizations have been built (especially early on) with cultures of ruthless growth/success at any cost.

    Having Jack as the heel is kinda awesome but his post game comments don’t mean much to me.  Dude has been through a lot. It was emotional for him.  I mean I don’t like him but I understand his behavior.  

    He's been through a lot?! Really?

    He's been a pampered prodigy for a LONG time. He's rich. Other than a neck injury that's apparently already behind him (I've seen much worse in many family members), he's still healthy, young, and living a dream. 

    Let's not expend empathy for this particular, permed prince that we wouldn't extend to so many other human beings who have it much rougher. He's an arrogant arse. Doesn't make him a criminal, but it does make him hate-able.

  3. This Sabres team, mostly devoid of high-end talent after trading away its top two forwards and its "toughest" defenseman, is also of course missing its current "top" C, its best pure shooter on the wing, one of its best D, and I'm probably forgetting someone else. That seems to be set aside by those fans who are disconsolate over these lopsided games. 

    On the contrary, I'd argue that it's kind of amazing when this current roster keeps games competitive, innit?

    I’m tired of this team and their *****. We got what…6 games of good effort and then that’s it???  Looks like they’ve packed it in for the season. 72 more games of lackluster ahead of us.

    Take it easy, killer. 

     

    Have a drink. Or take a walk in the pleasantly cold and damp air. Breathe deep the gathering gloom (for you Moody Blues fans)

  5. There are two schools of message board posts in response to our team "experiencing hardship": 

    1) you can whine and complain and toss out hot-takes and hyperbole

    -or-

    2) you can add some levity to this debacle, thereby actually contributing to this collective experience

     

    Which type of poster are you?

    I think it’s anyone’s game at this point. No team has been dominate so far so hopefully these guys come out charged up this period

    I tried so hard to be open minded with him but it’s really really really bad

    I'll do this against my better judgment; simply because it appears so often online: the adjective here should be dominant. Dominate is a verb. (nothing personal)

     

    And I would disagree; the Kraken have absolutely been dominant tonight, despite the score. Look at basically ANY metric.
