Commentators trying to pretend that we aren’t good cause of injuries. Yes, that’s why. Music to Bahtrill’s ears I’m sure 

Sigh.

So... we're incapable of overcoming an injury to our 4W (Okposo), a teenage defenseman (with any of the other 8 NHL-caliber defensemen), and a rookie winger (I mean, sure, Olofsson is great). Other than that, we're playing with a backup goalie. Playing the injury card excuse is: denied.

The likely hood of us breaking Florida’s 10 year record of ineptitude is not just possible but likely.  I imagine Jack will only give it one more offseason.  

Jack isn’t going anywhere, he has no choice in the matter. He’s either a Sabre until his contract is finished or he retires.

Such dull, uninspired hockey. The crowd is dead. The players are listless. No fire. No grit. No leadership. Mercy.

No hitting, no skating hard, the shots are all wide, no traffic in front, no effort ... Sheary - ERod - Vessey    That is a line.  What a joke.

Don't kid yourself. Terry thinks exactly like Pierre does. And this wild card: the media is too negative and it hurts the team. McCabe introduced that one the other night.

We haven't won a playoff series in 13 years.

You can already feel the defensiveness in how Botterill talks. He definitely thinks he is right and eeeeeeeeeeeeeveryone else is wrong.

Why do you keep saying that?  Isn’t he under contract for like 7 years?

McCabe can go. 
 

I really support trading or cutting all the players on this team except Jack, Dahlin, Olofsson, Uhlmark and I guess we can’t trade Skinner (salary).  
Maybe I keep Risto   ?  

The rest have all been hear too long in a losing environment or they are JBot garbage acquisitions.   
 

Of course I say this out if complete frustration but I do think a major house cleaning is long overdue.

Yes, sure.  Doesn’t mean it will happen though.

They need to find a new GM that knows how to evaluate talent.  Until then we’re stuck watching these lines.

Agree on talent.  But a GM needs to build a team suited for the NHL environment at the time.    So far JBOT has failed.

This is ridiculous. If a team is hurt by the media, then they're not professionals.

Now... if a team is weak, I can see them being easily swayed by a good home crowd. This team plays well on Saturday afternoons/mornings (with lots of kids) so maybe they respond to an exuberant crowd. But the team needs to make its crowd exuberant, not rely on it. (Football excluded, as there are only 8 home games.)
