thanks for the read out of what was said.
nothing too surprising.
- glad to hear they realize this team isn't close just yet
- glad to hear they recognize there are bad contracts on the team and aren't afraid to call it out
- faceoffs on special teams is massive. It's one of those "eye test" vs "stat" things i suppose, but i'd love to see a correlation of goals vs no-goals over the course of a season when the first face off of a penalty alone is won by either the PP or PK team. That doesn't discount the flames seemingly being easy to score on when the other team is setup, and how aweful they've been with the man advantage on the flipside.
things i'd love to have heard about:
- what is the plan short/long term regarding what position bennet will play?
- do they intend to give any guys in the AHL a look this year up in the big leagues?
- any comment on why the AHL team has struggled to the degree they have this season?
