Sabres' Okposo is impressed with Ralph Krueger
Am I the only one that gets nervous reading these platitudes about Krueger?
“Just a phenomenal guy, I just went to dinner with him and a couple of the other guys and we may have talked hockey for 15-20 minutes out of two hours and we were picking his brain about his life and his experiences, but he’s just a really personable guy, genuine and an interesting guy. I’ve talked to a few guys that played for him in Edmonton and they had nothing but great things to say about him and how he treated them and just how he was as a person first and foremost and then as a coach second, so I think that speaks volumes of his character.”
Kyle likes the new players, says he has to be better and so do his teammates.
Okposo talks about the system:
“It’s simplifying, I mentioned to Ralph that I wanted to get back to using my instincts more as opposed to thinking and I think for a hockey player, that’s really important. Players will tell you they’re at their best when they’re not thinking out there.”
I guess that means Sobotka will never get any better.
