dudacek Posted April 17 Report Posted April 17 Nice piece from Fairburn on some of the team-bonding that worked. https://www.nytimes.com/athletic/7203786/2026/04/17/buffalo-sabres-nhl-playoffs-slogans-mottos/ During their preseason retreat, players and staff brainstormed slogans based around real-life situations. For those who can’t read it, four signposts guided their season. They were: Share the Morning Coffee: This emphasizes talking to your teammates and getting to know them. Everybody Ropes, Everybody Rides:There’s no job too big or too small for anyone on the team to do at any time. F—ing Giv’er: In everything you do, you give everything you have. Grab a guy!: This refers to being a five-man unit on the ice when there’s an altercation. But it also can mean that when a player is struggling away from the ice, grab him and help him out 3 Quote
#freejame Posted April 17 Report Posted April 17 F’ing Giv’er do do dododo Interesting note on that slogan—George Babcock, he of 2500+ games working for the org, came up with it. Quote
#freejame Posted April 17 Report Posted April 17 There’s two older women in front of me in the sign line at Tops that are terribly confused by “Everybody Ropes, Everybody Rides.” They will NOT be happy if that’s the sign they get. Quote
