1. Everyone wants the “fun” manager until things actually need to be fixed.

2. Skinner is going to be thrilled if he sticks around.

3. Why is this like the third coach in a row where players think our practices are too easy?

4. why does it have to be about the Mittelstadt quote

   i mean the guy right here is saying it all. even more directly than Mittelstadt did

5. Torts, a guy who is a hardass and someone who is the opposite of Granto, thinks morning stakes are bullshit and they don’t matter.

   It’s almost like there isn’t a direct line between how a team practices and how well they play.

6. Practice? We’re talking about practice?

7. It’s interesting because I recall Granato making comments in the media when he took over for Krueger that the players weren’t in good enough shape to play the fast-paced system he wanted to play and to check back in 2 weeks after he made some changes in practice. I realize that was 3 seasons ago, but still….what the heck happened?

8. Where are all the Granato stans who went out of their way to rag on me whenever I suggested this was true after Mitts said it? They’re awful quiet now…

   #Vindication!

9. Good god “practice way harder”???? If you want to win as much as y’all say you do would you not give it your all 24/7

10. Montgomery was bag skating the 1st place Bruins after poor efforts all year. Not saying Lindy is the right man for the job but a coach similar. An alpha. Someone who makes the players give it their all every shift and play tougher.
