9:31 9 questions here's a synopsis
1. Tyson Jost
- "He checks all the boxes." (cheap, small, easy to play against)
2. Z and Okposo injuries, was the Jost signing related?
- "No, we don't make short term decisions."
I think both these question came from Lance L, though I am not sure. They were definitely from the same person.
Questions 3 - 6 from Mike Harrington
3. The last 28 games of last and the first 10 of this year is not a small sample size Did you think of doing something short term to stop this bleeding?
-blame injury
-blame youth
-blame timeline of injury return making any help a "short term decision which we don't make"
-"I'm calm right now."
4. Are you shocked you're 29th in the league?
-We're so close in some games
-these are learning pains
-"I'm calm and calm is contagious"
5. Circle back to Zemgus and kyle injuries (note this the 2nd question about this)
-we miss them so much
6. Callups have sucked so far. What were you looking for? Why not a young guy?
-We want to keep the young guys in Rochester
7. From Paul Hamilton "Did you get too young too fast?"
-That' such a great question....sustainable success comes through these situations, Tage/Dahlin, we're so young
8. From I don't know who. "Aren't Tage and Dahlin wonderful?"
- "Yes, they are."
9. From whomever asked 8 "Did Kyle skate today?" (making this the 3rd Z/Kyle question out of 9 total)
-Yes
Not asked by our crack media:
"Peyton Krebs hasn't scored in 30 games. What, specifically, do you see in him? Why as a 3rd or 4th liner?"
"Does your team lack toughness?"
"Does your coach tell your team not to finish checks?"
"Is the team listening to the coach?"
"Is the coach in trouble?"
"Should Rasmus Dahlin be your toughest player?"
"Our we on track in the 5-year plan?"
"When will goaltending become an organizational priority?"
Damn sure happy we got 1/3rd of the questions asked about ZTrain and Okposo. |

The jokes write themselves. I can't fathom what boxes he believes need to be checked. |

To be fair to Risto, he was a 40-point d man four times. The Flyers just stopped using him on the PP which was like the one thing he was good at. He has less than one minute on the PP this year.
The Flyers had no idea what they were buying. One of the weirdest things I've seen |

Sounds like another player for the Sabres, he just plays W now. |

I mean if they just go the draft route, by the time they get any D depth and how thin the D prospects in the draft are this year. And a proper partner for Power it will be 5yrs, so 20 is close. But if that happens Dahlin leaves and you're looking at another 3-5yrs to replace him. Damn I might be Dead. |

If EK is even right, I would be calling Washington up and see if we have anything that appeases them and see if Lorio could possibly be the piece coming back. |

Be a shame if they let another one get away because they are just a horribly run franchise. |
