Skinner's a one dimensional player with no real interest in changing. I'm sure it's driven all his coaches mad. I don't expect that to change now, but I don't expect Granato to fight it.

If he can score 40 goals why the (frank) would anyone WANT him to change other than ego?

Remember when Adam Oates tried to make Ovechkin into a RW and play defense? Where's Oates now?

Detroit has to be the worst 2nd half football team in the last 10yrs.

I like Singletary and hope they use him this year a bit more, but man would Aaron Jones be a nice treat to have on the Bill's.

Jays got hosed there.

Clear ball called strike would have walked in a run and had the bases loaded for Springer

Remember when Trotz wanted a better two-way effort from OV, he did it, and they won a cup?

He's really not the example you guys should be using.

I remember Ovechkin having his worst offensive seaosn ever and then the next year Trotz finally letting him loose again and that's when they won the Cup.

When you have Backstrom, why do you need Ovechkin to play defense? It almost back-fired on Trotz.

Ovechkin is a great example. A coach tried to change him and couldn't so he stopped trying to and then won a Cup with him.

He had his best season since 2010 when they won the Cup in 2018.

Nasty. He's (Olen Zellweger) a player I was hoping the Sabres would target in an Eichel trade with the Ducks.

Olen gets us rollin' with this SNIPE.
We lead 1-0.

This is not the way I remember OV playing the season they won it all. He made a firm commitment to playing a good 2-way game..led by his strong offensive play. Previously, he was disinterested in D..just the G's.

Good article on The Athletic by Joe Buscaglia around the Bill's Offense...7 observations from Bills win in Miami..
1st was about Allen's e
Very, very early and small sample size..but none the less a big regression from 2020..largely led by issues in completing passes in the mid-range distance of 10 - 25 yards. Bug focus on throwing to the left side while. early ignoring the right.
Interesting read as usual from him.

Does Diggs lineup predominantly on the left side ? Could be the case
