Yes, he has a disregard for that entire aspect of the game. He also can't muscle guys off of pucks, isn't skilled enough to deke anyone and generally won't put himself in harms way for the sake of winning.

Who cares? We don't want to win anyway. The only way we get rid of him without a buyout is if he flashes some semblance of talent in the next 2 weeks.

I received the employee of the quarter last month so I guess the trips to the jeep to smoke and 5 hours of watching tv on the job is paying off for me, also got an outstanding review/raise (they rarely give them out)

Bottom line, slack more, make no waves and slip through the cracks

I know. Hopefully next season the roster looks different and attitudes change across the board. I can tolerate him as a warm body that puts a few pucks in now and then. He just isn't likely to pan out to his potential.

I am saying if at your current job, they just ask you to show up for guaranteed money for the next 5 years, while paying you millions of dollars and the company goal is to not meet your compitions output, do you still go all out?

You play hockey hard in a bar league because you rarely play and love it. Do you do the same at your current day job? I used to go all in playing hockey, but now I want to walk the next day cause I need to support my family and I want my body to last in 20 years (especially since I don't get paid to do so).

Sorry, but most athletes got where they are on more than skill. They got there on competitive spirit.

I'm sure some of the wind has been taken out of their sails with how the team has fared this year, but most athletes have that undying desire to win.

I would expect attitudes to be different next year. I wouldnt mind nolan getting a shot next year, but would need to be on a short leash. IMO a coach that hasnt made his bread and butter on veteran laden teams and good goaltending would do wonders.

Anyone else hate it when a Reese's Peanutbutter cup has two wrappers? It's like going on a date with a woman who's wearing two bras.

Or is it like going on a date with a woman and you need to wrap it twice?
