This is a quote from an anonymous former Sabres captain. I thought it was interesting because it basically contradicts my, and many others, biggest complaints about Benning — overpaying for “leadership”.

“Leadership is a huge question mark. I can’t judge the character in the locker room because I’m not in there, and I don’t know Jack Eichel well enough to know if he’s an effective leader, but I do know that players need to be taught how to be leaders. They traded for Eric Staal, who provides veteran leadership, but does he really want to be there? Staal was traded to Buffalo. He didn’t sign there by choice. I’m no GM, but three or four years ago I would have surrounded Eichel with two or three older veterans and even been willing to overpay them to make sure they’re happy and want to be in Buffalo and willing to teach Eichel what being a leader means.

You need to create that culture. Everybody talks about culture, but what is culture? You can’t just conjure it up from one day to the next. It takes years. Right now, the Sabres’ culture is Jack Eichel. Think about that. And the entire time it has been losing, losing, losing. He’s not learning from anyone how to be a winner.”

Like Vegas, the Canucks just can't deal with Montreal's speed and forecheck. Things aren't crisp and they're holding on to pucks way too long

Posts, cough-ups, fall downs, Nucks out of sync. Must be Habs being Vegas like...lol

These refs suck. Don't call like 3 or 4 penalties vs Canadiens, then call the first chance they get vs Canucks.

LOL, later. I'll be all over the Weds 8PM start.

True it can take years to develop. Nucks are now past the sell by date on the overpays.

Any ideas why BB is with Sutter and Miechies or w/e - why?

I really think rousell needs to sit. I know a few have been wanting it. but my god hes been bad this game.

Green is a poopty coach? Why is Beagle out with 6mins left and down a goal?

Really? Beat the Leafs twice now we can't score a single f*ucking goal?

Rousell has not been the same since back from his big injury. ineffective.

Finally a post and IN!! Gauds with the Monkey off his back.

That BB shift, had he scored, would have gave barzal a run for its money on goal of the year

First come from behind, when not scoring first, win of the season. But not sure if they slew the Habs dragon until they thrash them in regulation.
