Yeah... these are pretty useless.Locker clean out day is useless.
These players have about 10 responses they have to say otherwise we have an ROR moment and everyone explodes in outrage.
"We have to be better"
"We have to look in the mirror"
"We have to have our hardest offseason of training ever and be ready to go to start the season"
"We have to hold each other responsible"
"Our fired coach wasn't a complete tire fire"
No player is going to say, " I fist bumped when I heard the coach got canned. He was terrible. And here is a list of the players who are horse$h&t and cost us a ton of losses this season."
i missed what he said regarding Risto.Eichel's response on Risto's comment is interesting.
I agree with him. You can always throw the "accountable" card out there when things aren't going well.
Be able to skate better? LOL WHAT? I mean, I guess he could do some work on his power?
I hope he focuses on his shot. Especially one-timers.
Paraphrasing herei missed what he said regarding Risto.
I have to admit, while it didn't help the team much, I'm hoping the glimpses we saw of the 'old' Okposo weren't just a second-half phenomena and he may actually be a valuable contributor next year.sobering from a guy who literally almost died last season
Give him an A.lmfao, the entire sabres locker room sounds like their dog just died or something. dahlin gets on the line on the instigators and starts the interview by saying "i had so much fun!"
i love this kid
Paraphrasing here
Risto: We have to be more vocal in holding each other accountable.
Eichel: It's easy to say that when things aren't going well. There can always be more accountability whether you're winning or losing. We have to let our performance on ice speak for itself, and everyone has to hold themselves accountable.
He could have just as easily went with, "imI not thinking about that right now. I'm letting my agent do that work, we'll see what happens, I don't know how things are going to play out, blah blah blah!!!"It was his interview where he just sounded like he as giving the canned answers and mentioned a few times how he hasn't thought about his contract and how his agent is handling it. It reminds me of what other players who go into free agency say so they don't upset the fanbase.
And said that usually when things are going bad you are not performing the best on the ice. So it makes it harder to hold someone else accountable when you’re not performing yourself.He also said that if someone had asked if there was enough accountability to one another when they were winning, the answer would have been of course.
Dahlin definitely needs to work on his acceleration and top speed. As Chain said, getting stronger will help.Be able to skate better? LOL WHAT? I mean, I guess he could do some work on his power?
I hope he focuses on his shot. Especially one-timers.
Right, which I think its important that he acknowledges.He also said that if someone had asked if there was enough accountability to one another when they were winning, the answer would have been of course.
I always go into these locker cleanout days, and I always leave disappointed. It just isn't about the cleaning anymore.I want to see less talk and more cleaning. It would be just our luck to finally get a decent team and have it quarantined due to an outbreak of MRSA.
Instant culture change:Give him an A.
Janitor Jim is there scraping the gum off the underside of Phil's desk cursing Botts for making a quick decision for once.I always go into these locker cleanout days, and I always leave disappointed. It just isn't about the cleaning anymore.
His edgework is amazing but added speed/power would do a lot for now he plays the game. I would even say necessary to become Norris-level.Be able to skate better? LOL WHAT? I mean, I guess he could do some work on his power?
I hope he focuses on his shot. Especially one-timers.
