I hate it when a bunch of sissies/socialists say "Everyone gets equal credit and everyone takes equal blame." Heroes and villains, not consortiums and conglomerates, are what make sports and life interesting.

I suspect that, even when a coach says "we", he has, in his mind, players who are more/less problematic.   That's why we fans see players come/go from the lineup.   It's still a "we" thing in his mind because, if he doesn't make the right lineup changes, in addition to the proper coaching, he's part of that "we" thing.   He's part of the problem..   ::deadhorse::

Christ, I've been out of contact for a couple of days and this is what we've degenerated to?

I have no f 'ing idea how Schafer talks to his team in private. I do know that I've not seen him go after a player in public, but he has sat down prominent players when he felt it was necessary. I also know that we've had coaches that players did not like working under, and Schafer is not one of them.

No one will ever be Harkness again, the time is different and players are different.

I also know that the poor PK must be driving Schafer crazy and it must be something that he thinks about and works with all the time.

I don't know if he'll get it to improve, but I'm sure that he's trying 100+% and that's good enough for me.

I complain about the PK to my friends all the time, but never do I think that the team isn't trying to better it.

Maybe it's bad karma and we won't correct it this season. If so, it will probably will doom our post-season chances and I'll be unhappy again. However I'm sure that Schafer is going to be bothered 10 times more than I am.

As for some of the other things that have been said on this thread, well I'm glad I could read through it once and hopefully now completely forget about it.

I expect Coach Schafer spends more time coaching individual team members about their duties and responsibilities on penalty kills than he devotes to lecturing the entire team, gathered in a circle, about group penalty kills.

everything you say manages to be stupider than the thing you said before. it is impressive.

Thanks ugarte, saved me from the effort.

He's trolling you guys. You are all biting for it.

If Belicheck is a paragon of coaches Carlo Ponzi is a paragon of investors.

This used to be so quaint, an outlier of Usonian Kulture.

But not anymore! Now it's mainstream.

USCHO has the women at #1 and men at #2.

I'll post the whole polling data later.

We lost our 1st place vote, and Mankato keeps theirs, preventing ND from being unanimous.
