Mr Peabody

What can he afford to pay him? If you tie up almost $30M in Dahlin, Power and Byram you’ve painted yourself into a nasty corner. IMO, one of the 3 would have to go.

A picture says it all on that debacle

It might be voluntary.

I wasn’t disagreeing with your post. I also wasn’t referring to MacKinnon’s talent. Rather I’ve read he is an on ice taskmaster who holds teammates accountable and maybe that impacted Byram there. I have witnessed a complete turnaround at the AHL level when Syracuse obtained a captain that held everyone to a high standard.

We also don’t have a MacKinnon

If I’m the owner I’m torn between team make-up and coaching. If I fire the coach and nothing improves it’s on the the GM, right? A new GM would demand to hire his own coach and now I’m paying for two unemployed coaches. I’d “meddle” and talk to Clifton, Byram , and EJ and compare and contrast what’s going on here versus the winning orgs they came from. Then I’d sit down with GM and coach - separately. One option is to move Donnie into an exec role of player development.

Ba penalty. Again

Need some forwards who can carry the puck. Too many “get it off my stick pssses”. All season.

KA needs to see this physical pounding we’d be getting in a playoff series.

I really, really hope it was Girgs saying he’d just as soon not make a move for a couple of months duty.

Visiting my kids and grandkids in the Nashville area and wanted to go to the game but decided I wasn’t going to fork out ~ $1k for the 7 of us. Whew. Feel like I hit on lottery ticket.

Playing much more aggressive with Mitts. I think he was deferring the shot to Tage too often.

Yeah and I just checked and Washington has enough cap space that it’s doubtful they’d give up too much to move him.

Agree entirely.

Nice adjustment by Donnie splitting Tage and Skinner as that line couldn’t get out of our zone against TB top line.

Here’s the best we got to

I like the way you say that.

I’d characterize our prospect pool as wide and flat rather than deep. A large amount of the same type of player at forward - so much so you couldn’t build a balanced NHL team.

Was Donnie’s on camera outburst before, during or after the bench penalty. I didn’t see what was going on when it was called. And I did see MT’s post game interview. He was poised and very well spoken. Many of the items he discussed that make Fla so good are what we are lacking (team mix of youth and experience). Telling that he said the Sabres were playing chippy - good for us. Their strength was the difference. Much quicker to the puck and winning board battles. They owned the neutral zone.

Kids need to hit the weight room all summer.

Nice crowd for these teams.

I get weird dreams but so far nothing with the speech. It’s not simvistatin is it?
