“Honestly,” Alicia Moulson said, “
- Michael Pachla[him being waived] was a relief. I didn’t care where we ended up. We were prepared to go as a family, and I knew how miserable my husband was, and I was excited for him to enjoy the game again.”


Anything in there about the next year when JB said "Matt won't be part of the group this year"?

Did Sam essentially say, "That's a good team over there" after a win. I did not know that was allowed.

it's from april, 2019...

“The darkest time was that first year in Buffalo under Dan,” Moulson said. “I had a terrible year. I didn’t have many answers from the Sabres when I was looking for them.
“Maybe he thought I was a different type of player than I was. I’m not sure. I don’t really know. I never really got an answer out of him.”

I mean, the answer is that he was too slow, right?

He might have been the slowest player in the NHL. I'm not sure why he's confused

That right there shows the difference between that coach and the current one.

Sounded like Bylsma knew the X's and O's very well, but was a terrible communicator. I don't know how much Kruger knows X's and O's (he has to know some as players keep referencing his system) but he knows how to communicate.

I'm not saying you can get by without some technical knowledge and just have communication, not at all. What I am saying though is you can't get by with technical knowledge and no communication skills.

Leadership is more about communicating than it is knowing everything. You can hire system people to cover up for some of your weaknesses, but you can't be a leader that can't communicate performance expectations in a performance based industry.

Players calling teammates out:

"Just an inexcusable change. Two guys that stayed out too long looking for offense. It's a selfish play that doesn't need to be part of this team, so we'll figure that out." -- Sharks captain Logan Couture on the line change that led to Jack Eichel's overtime goal

He's a premier power forward in the league. I'd be hesitant to offer him 8 years like I would for Elie. 6 would be fine, hopefully he'd take a discount to come back to Buffalo.

Moral: More than one way to coach successfully. All that matters is, at the end of the day, your players are prepared to win any night.

I'd alter that slightly as a matter of distinction.

More than one way to communicate successfully to coach successfully.

Can't coach successfully or prepare a team to win if you can't communicate what you want them to do.

Ways of communicating though our open to interpretation.
