And for the record, I am of the older generation that knows all about paying your dues and working hard etc. But being in a corporate environment for 20 years, I understand what lengths managers have to go through to get the most of their people.
But whatever, keep thinking that every professional hockey player will give you 100% just for pride and satisfaction.

Problem is, the other team is paid to play as well and they have just as much incentive to come out flying after losing 8 straight. The difference is we didn’t lay down and quit like the Sabres did last week.
This team got better as the game went along and we dominated but couldn’t beat their back up goaltender. Call it what you want, a lack of finishers or whatever. But at the end of the day the Islanders got bounces early and we had no luck.
