Tell you what, I've been watching his pressers and he's growing on me. I don't know if he's the guy to take them a long way, but he's a regular guy, a hockey guy, that's getting through to his players at a time when they could have easily death-spiraled into oblivion. All I know is he seems to be the right guy for these guys right now. 9 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well it was a two margarita* night for me tonight, and the Sabres won, so I'm inclined to agree with you. *when I make a margarita at home, I fill a pint glass about 2/3 with ice, almost cover it with tequila, then top it with margarita mix. 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I sure as ***** didn't. I stressed patience. It could have just as easily went the other way with him. Glad he’s taking strides in the right direction and gaining confidence. I’ll be happy if he tops out at a solid 2nd liner. Surprised and pumped if it’s more. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Giving him one year is the perfect answer. Remove the Interim tag. If he continues to improve the team, keep him going. If he plateaus, maybe you bring in a more proven coach. 18 minutes ago, SDS said: Why does it have to be nefarious? Why couldn’t it be he was a good guy, who did his best and fell flat on his face?

Many intellectuals are their own worst enemy. Hopefully he writes a book about it that is only in German.

pi2000 Posted April 16, 2021 Report Share Posted April 16, 2021 Nice win, they had their foot on the gas for 60min. But... IMO, and I'll prolly get crucified for this, the outcome was a product of the Caps simply not showing up to play. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Randall Flagg Posted April 16, 2021 Report Share Posted April 16, 2021 First time in a long time it has felt like we aren't wasting the end of the season. There are too many good things to say about Cozens. Dude pushes his boundaries outward each game to see what he can and can't do yet, and he can do more every time he tries it, and he doesn't need to be reminded to try it. I struggle to imagine Bergeron playing the game like this at age 20. All the right guys are showing all the right signs. We're allowed to have this?! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So the Sabres don't get any credit for capitalizing on a team that didn't show up ready to play? Good teams get credit for that kind of thing. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Norcal Posted April 16, 2021 Report Share Posted April 16, 2021 Good read tonight folks. These games are getting more and more fun. I'm loving the style of play. Stick tap to the assistant coaches Matt Ellis and Dan Girardi for their efforts as well 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
