PASabreFan Posted March 14, 2019 Report Share Posted March 14, 2019 A lot of us joke about them but don't believe they are real. Does Phil? Credit: wgr550.com “We only gave that team 11 even strength scoring chances and if you continue to do that, it’s going to flip and that’s one of the challenges we face, but if we continue to play that type of game, maybe we can get some puck-luck because I’m a big believer that the harder you work, the hockey gods will be on your side if you’re playing the game the right way.” Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
That Aud Smell Posted March 14, 2019 Report Share Posted March 14, 2019 Nah. That's just an expression for "lady luck," etc. I haven't been watching much of late, but it is mystifying to me to hear/read HCPH saying that the Sabres have been getting the better of play over the course of a recent game.

dudacek Posted March 14, 2019 Report Share Posted March 14, 2019 Phil is a firm believer in the power of positive thinking. Im mostly on his side, but there comes a time when a man has to ponder if he’s starting to lie to himself. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Im mostly on his side, but there comes a time when a man has to ponder if he’s starting to lie to himself. I just think he knows he doesn't have the horses to win consistently in this league. Why brow beat, bag skate, publicly ridicule, yell at or in any other way demean his players if he truly believes they are giving an honest effort? I also believe JBotts doesn't really want to break up the winning combinations in Rochester and that is why Nylander is here. He, from what I can tell from reading about him, is a deck chair. This season I'm sure blew up as soon as Bergland went south. Both Phil and Jason knew it was almost impossible to recover not having a 2C. I'm willing to bet Jason told Phil *I'll do what I can, but don't expect much in season*. Phil had the task of putting lip stick on this pig all season, and not go crazy in front of the cameras/microphones while doing it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kruppstahl Posted March 14, 2019 Report Share Posted March 14, 2019 Phil believes in all kinds of witchcraft and voodoo. It's all the traditional hockey crap that hockey guys think is important, despite it not really existing. If he studied data and exercised reason, his player usage would have been a lot different this year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OhMyDahlin Posted March 16, 2019 Report Share Posted March 16, 2019 The gave us Dahlin, but didn't give us McDavid. Maybe they can make up for that 2015 draft and give us Hughes? ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
