Uncle Terry is done paying coaches not to coach

Can he be demoted to Mair's role in development? He'd be amazing at that.

He's only responsible for 8 out of the 12 years, not the whole thing. Jeremy White called Okposo out well for his BS response

Do you know when the fans wouldn’t be the team? when they’re winning.

Play like poop in front of the home fanbase get treated like poop in front of the home fan base

I made my official request for refund on my tickets based on fraud. It won't go anywhere but, it made me feel better.

i didnt listen but i saw the tweet.

i get what kyle is trying to do. i get everything he's saying from his vantage point. they will never, ever throw a guy like donnie under the bus.

at the very least, he could have said "we deserve the boos".

what kills me is this organizational gas lighting of everyone saying "we're accountable" and not a single (frank)ing action actually proves it. Not a (frank)ing one.

And where the (frank) was assistant captain Rasmus Dahlin during the post-massacre interviews?

(frank) this team, (frank) these players, (frank) these coaches, and especially (frank) this gm.

No, they care. I know they care. But caring doesn't mean they're mental silly putty, or coached in a way to implement a winning style.

Coaching can make a massive difference in how players approach each game and each shift. Not so much systematically, but they know where they need to be and how they need to react before the puck even gets to them. That's coaching.

Not on this (frank)ing team though. Now they look like Ralph is asking them to have more

I know they care, basically saying why should they take the sh!t for a GM that doesn't seem to or know how to. You don't seem to want to help us get over the hump, and Call us out for showing accountability. You answer the ?

I'd love to lure Todd Nelson or Lane Lambert, if we can't convince a more seasoned coach to join up. There's at least a few options of guys that could work.

Not trying to troll when I say that this all reminds me of the Panthers before Vinny Viola bought the team.

Managing to severely lessen hockey fans’ interest in Buffalo is quite the accomplishment. TPegs will learn that fan apathy is worse than fan anger.

Jay Leach he was the Bruins AHL HC for 5yrs before going to Seattle. Wonder what kind of D system he could set up here.

Not familiar with Leach, but I think any change would be positive. We've got half a season to test someone out, they should know by now Donny isn't it.

I really liked Donny too, it's sad. He's a really good human, just an awful Xs and Os guy.

Still think Donnie is being brought down by his staff. They should have built a stronger Assistant staff around him. With Adams supposed plan and building internally you are gonna have a lot of young players playing for you. The Coaching staff shouldn't be as green as the Player's are. This Coaching staff doesn't have the Experience to figure out how to dig themselves out of this hole. Coaching in the NHL is a bit different than the ECHL.

As I heard it, here’s the reason KA hasn’t made a deal to plug some holes in the roster ....Evvry time KA almost has a trade deal done, Gerbe comes in the office kitchen and heats up some chikken wings in the damn microwave.

I can see that, I mean Matt Ellis telling Tage what to do just feels wrong, as an example. They didn't play similar games and Ellis never got PP time. Bales has never helped a goalie become the dude either, from what I can tell. At the same point, the lines and usage are on Donny and that's been bad. A few weeks ago I was hoping they'd fire a couple assistants and help him, no I'm not so sure we shouldn't just clean house. You think we should try new assistants first?

In Gerbe's defense, he told us this summer that the intention was to draft low one last time. We can scream into the Olofsson all we want, but that was the plan. Let the kids acclimate and try to bring in help this offseason. I'm mad about it, but Gerbs was spot on.
