gonna be an interesting day.

 

[Jim Bob]

It is going to be really interesting to hear the players talk about the coaching change.

 

[MOGlLNY]

I feel really bad for Don, I do. He's a really good man and helped pulled this franchise out of perpeutal shit. He had just reached his limit with us. I hate when people are saying he was a bad coach or should've never been the coach. I think he was the right guy for where we were at the time.

But I f***ing love that Adams fired him before locker clean out and is making these guys face the media about it.

 

[HOOats]

Any idea what time this party gets started today?

Agreed. Donny brought hope not just back with the players in the locker room but to the fan base as well. I appreciate everything donny has done for the team but its time to bring in a guy who can push the team to the next level.

Also glad the players get to face the music during the locker room clean out. Part of the failure to this season is on them as well.

Is there anyway to listen/watch this live?

 

[newfiejesus]

We're at the point where each player should be armed with hours of opinions, tidbits of stories from the past year, a schedule of upcoming podcast/media appearances, summer plans, for today. There's no playoffs to work with, spend some of that energy towards being an industry and media production unto themselves.

13 years. Don't let one single person run away from it.

Don't believe so just the slow drip from reporters on twitter.
Only thing i found so far from Lance Lysowski.

"Jeff Skinner said there were no lingering effects from the Nathan MacKinnon hit in December.Health wasn’t a factor in Skinner’s second half. Expressed excitement to get to work on fixing what went wrong in his game."

If that was him healthy, get the buyout check ready now.

Yerdon has sacrificed his hair for this.

wtf is that shirt Harrington is wearing?

 

[5 Minute Major]

I may be nit-picking but Tuch’s comment doesn’t sit well with me. They are craving accountability? Are they not professional athletes? Can’t they be accountable to each other?

If that is the case, do the Sabres really have a Captain candidate within that room?

Eh, I read that as possibly saying the coaching staff lacked accountability. Obviously they liked Don, but maybe upon reflection they realize there has to be more from up top.

 

[ValJamesDuex]

Sabre's need to hire a full time Sports Psychologist if they have not already.

Do you want the players to bench other players and manage icetime?

 

[5 Minute Major]

Is that all there is to what I said? Peer pressure can be a good thing. A personality that isn’t afraid to speak their mind and not worry they are hurting someone’s feelings.
