It can be corrected with a skating coach or just by teaching yourself how to skate again, so to speak. For example: extending your strides and “rolling out” your skate as you push really gives you a boost. It’s something Hoss and Bure did to perfection (but gave the latter lots of knee troubles down the line) when they were in their primes. Focus on power of the stride rather than speed of the stride.
That easily added 5mph to my top speed when I used to play.

I think the point is that if he was making the same mistakes then how come no one saw any today or on the other days we win?
It's bc everyone is full of shit and just bitching after losing. No one here knows how good or bad Q is. Maybe 2 people have any semblance of knowledge on what he's doing to hurt or help. Everyone else just sees a losing streak and makes up a bunch of shit to justify the pitchfork
Harsh but true. People here aren't breaking down anything tactical. It's just vague complaints about who's not being developed right or how we have no structure.

Gotta admit, I hate your style of criticism when it's directed at me, but love it when it's something I agree with
Howden played better today I'll give him that. Dunno what his advanced stats were like but he didn't handle the puck like a hot potato all game long and actually did some effective forechecking.
For as much as people complain about Kakko on that first line, to be honest I kind of just saw a continuation of the same problems Zibanejad's line has had for a few games now. Their forechecking strategy isn't very good and they try to force stuff off the rush too much. Kakko didn't help of any that but they often get in after the puck with no real support and don't do a good job of identifying when to make a play and when to cycle it around when they're on the rush. That's not all on Kakko.
Other lines seemed tighter and supported each other better, that line was spaced out all over the ice and didn't support each other for crap.

This is our third win. Quinn was getting it plenty even when we started the season 2-0 (that was a month ago I know, so it's ok to forget). Maybe we played a good game. Maybe it was our very first of the season. Would it be more tolerable if people came in like f*** IT, D. QUINN STILL SUCKS AND THIS PROVES NOTHING! That would reek way more of bullshit then calling a well-played (and well-coached) game what it is when it happens. Doesn't mean it has always been happening, or that it will keep happening. Doesn't mean it didn't happen either...

Change is good.
Thought the same thing. They’ve got something there.

Always said they should split up the Breadman and Zibad.
Buch should never play another minute on the bottom six again. Enough with this bull. Show some faith.

See when I read super reductionist theories like “sports are tribal tendencies”, I chuckle a bit because massive sports competitions and even stadiums have been part of society since antiquity, and although luckily no direct conflict has been going on in our backyard right now, there is still massive wide spread proxy war all over the globe.
If anything, sports keep us in tune with a reality more than the fragile bubble we are lucky to be born in the US.
Let’s turn down the burners a little bit on Quinn. He isn’t going anywhere this season. He is learning and developing as a coach. (See my post about not using Hajak and Fox on the penalty kill) He needs to grow and improve. Too much of what I read here would indicate that he’s on a short leash. He isn’t.
If you want to see what a coach in trouble looks like, look at Detroit.

Not to point out the obvious, but the Sabres young team gave the Rangers a ton of space yesterday. They also weren't particularly stout in front of their net.
As just one example, if you look at Panarin's goal (first goal of game), Reinhardt had a shot at cutting Panarin off, blocking his path across the crease, but if you watch the highlights, he totally stopped skating. Beyond that, the Rangers scored the kinds of goals they weren't getting during the losing streak. The forechecking goal scored by Howden from Fast. Strome's deflection. It's as much a reflection of the Rangers as it is the Sabres not committing enough to net-front coverage.
That said, to me, one of the biggest takeaways from the Sabres game is about structure. As we know, Hockey is a game of mistakes. Every player makes them. And every team has a few players prone to making big time flubs. But what teams like the Rangers and Sabres seem to have in common is that those mistakes aren't as easily absorbed by their system or their players commitment to the system.

Yea in the lens of historical context a thought like "fans NOW are soooo irrational" is definitely worth a chuckle. Like folks...we rooted for men to brutally murder each other in arena competition. Us being irrationally invested in competition is not an insight.
For the most part around here it isn't even some deep, psychological thing when people act irrationally. It's a bunch of idiots who can't contribute much so they end up trying to pump up their own ego with a series of hot takes, predictions and "analysis"
Maybe the book should be a farce poking fun at guys who wake up their neighbors by yelling like jackasses
All I hear is solid snake

I thought your job here was to provide the old roster for the team we play.
Anyone also notice that Joe is also filling in more blanks for Sam (e.g. identifying players) than he has done in the past?

"Thanks, Joe"
But, with his diet being Papa Johns pizza and Subway sandwiches, is he taking care of his health?

I have to step out of my comfort zone sometimes, or I'll never grow professionally.
