Gilmour wasn't hated until he cost the Sabres game 7. Housley & Smehlik. That's where the hate flows. (Zhoey Zhuneau gets a dishonorable, though brief, mention.)

I never liked Smehlik, but thinking back on it he probably got more hate than he deserved. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But it became his fault. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm just thinking slow-footed d-man with heavy D-zone use against good players: usually a recipe for analytics disaster. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PASabreFan Posted February 8, 2021 Report Share Posted February 8, 2021 I've mentioned this before. I'm always shocked that trainers and equipment managers, medical staff and the like, team PR/media etc. survive new GM-coaching regimes. These are people who are in the ears of the players every day. Why wouldn't you want your own people? How much of the losing culture is the culture of these longstanding employees? Ever wonder why some teams can't win in certain buildings when the players are turned over time and again? The voices around players matter. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Their "staffers" if you will; the people who make the organization tick. The GM has had the same secretary for many years, for example. They don't need to rotate out everyone in the organization just b/c the GM or coach are new. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
