this is something that should be addressed. the picture is during a stoppage in time, with miller on the bench (he looks miserable, by the way) while sulzer, tallinder, and the trainer laugh at something on the jumbotron.
the sabres are in the midst of a culture of losing. i never really bought too much into it before, i just figured they knew they were young and rebuilding, and eventually itll get better. but thats not the way it works. clearly, nolan needs to bag skate them. and hard. and alot.
i dont mind losing. i really dont. not during a rebuild. (if this were a season of higher expectations, i would mind. maybe i have that mentality too now) so long as the team works hard and plays something that resembles hockey. but if guys are laughing it up, you need to sit them down, tell them they are expected to mentor the kids, and this is not acceptable. looks like the nolan era honeymoon is over, and its time to work these guys till they get the message.
