eball Posted November 28, 2018 Share Posted November 28, 2018 (edited) I'm really glad they got #10 last night, because playing two of the next three @ TB and @ Nashville is a beast of a trip! Also...does anyone else think Jeanneret is trying a little too hard? The "scary good" thing at the end of last night's game felt forced.

Kelly the Dog Posted November 28, 2018 Share Posted November 28, 2018 As AD said, "celly" has been a hockey word for a long while. That said, people who are asking did it come up in the last few weeks are somewhat correct, too. It's been all over the football world, I assume perhaps because of the NFL team celebrations this year. So in the last couple months (even to last year) fans all over the place have been using that word, which has crept into the consciousness. On another point from above, I have been convinced that Terry and Kim fell in love with Sean McDermott from the time they met him, and his young, no nonsense, "trust the process" demeanor and plan, which is why they hired Jason Botterill when the GM job became open (as well as Brandon Beane). They're similar in a lot of ways although, of course, not everything. Botterill and Housley, as far as pushing all the right buttons and pulling all the right strings, are as hot as their team is. Keep it up, boys. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, that is part of the same thing. They loved the no-nonsense stuff, which was the complete opposite of the clownshow of Rex and the weirdness of GMTM, which was happening alongside both of their teams losing, and the fans all over town and twitter beginning to question the Pegulas' smarts.

snafu Posted November 28, 2018 Share Posted November 28, 2018 (edited) 3 hours ago, eball said: Exactly. Just pay attention to the nicknames teammates have for each other. It's almost exclusively a shortened last name with either an "S" or an "LY." The improvement in Tage's play has been noticeable recently. He's really starting to look like an asset. You forgot "mer" or "mers". Like Pominville is Pommer or Pommers. Edit: I've got nothing else to say about this team. I don't know how to refrain from complaining. Just trying to relax a bit and enjoy a 10 game streak, but I'm jittery and nervous. If they beat TB and then Toronto next week, I will be unconscious.

Now it's your turn Bills never mind that the Sabres have been entanked for what, 6 seasons or so? Come on man, try harder. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Keep it up, boys. What both Botterill and McDermott had in common is that both of them had a vision how an organization should be shaped and operated. Each of the two had a concept how not only a team should be built but also how the organization should be structured top to bottom. Botterill believed in the Pittsburgh model on how a team should be built and also how important it was to emphasize the development process in the minors. The Pegulas had first hand experience with showmen who were adept at garnering attention and being quotable but an inability to go beyond their shallowness. It doesn't matter what pro sport you are involved in the competition is steep. Not hiring thoughtful and analytical people is a recipe for failure. It's more than building a team as it is building a coherent organization. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The general rule is to add a Y or S to the shortened name as it fits. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They made some tweaks to the face off rules last season, and made it a point of emphasis to start strictly enforcing faceoff violation rules that were already in the rulebook. They havent been as bad with it as they were to start last season. But some refs are still more strict than others (like the refs last night...). It drives me nuts. I feel like I am always yelling at the TV, saying “drop the ******* puck already!”. lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
