SwampD Posted January 17, 2018 Report Share Posted January 17, 2018 Another rumor I heard from a well-placed source this morning: The dressing room is a shambles, with four or five factions of players battling for control. Control of what?! FFS. Just play hockey and STFU! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’ve labeled this an intangibles/ locker room problem since before Bylsmas job was at risk. The talent is here, their heads are not. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He didn’t need to create any. I think he wanted to understand the dynamics before deciding how to fix it. He had to know that this team was a mess. Look at last summer and the cluster that it was with exit interviews and then the Murray Bylsma firings. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thorny Posted January 18, 2018 Report Share Posted January 18, 2018 OK... Eichz, Reinzie, Kanerz and Zachzie. Who else? Who else? Falk, Nolan and Girgs maybe. Then get those 3 bozos out of the locker room, and tell Eichel to be a leader of men. No faction needed. More Hulkster, less Hollywood Hogan ft NWO.

Randall Flagg Posted January 19, 2018 Report Share Posted January 19, 2018 The Rangers color commentator just told a story I hadn't heard. Maybe it was posted here. Around Thanksgiving Phil called Jack up and the two of them skated alone for a while, talking about how it's Jack's job to step up and be the leader, and get the team and franchise out of the rut. Isn't that when Jack started to turn his season around? People wanted to talk about Russ Brandon in the locker room but I thought that was interesting.

This is great story and is a very plausible explanation on his improved play. The question is why didn’t the Sabres Broadcast ever stay anything about this?

Randall Flagg Posted January 19, 2018 Report Share Posted January 19, 2018 The way it was told wasn't with a "Jack you suck be better" attitude or anything either, it was a "we're in this together Jack, you and I have to do this and with your abilities, a focused effort towards leading in all aspects of being a hockey player will really start to get things going in the right direction" I haven't been a fan of Phil so far but that was nice to hear.

Maybe Jack should call Phil up, go for a skate, and tell Phil how it's his job to step up and start coaching better. In terms of raw hockey talent, this Sabres squad is probably only a little below the league average (1.0 ppg caliber) yet is somehow producing at a Tank Year level (neighborhood of 55 points). Bottom of the league in both scoring and in Phil's supposed forte of defense. Unacceptable. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
