“Learning and developing skills doesn’t have to happen in the lower leagues. Players are constantly improving and adding things to their bags of tricks throughout their careers, especially early on. The Flyers have made a point of growing a strong culture in the locker room, and there are plenty of players on the roster who he could learn different things from.”always the culture. this guy is so off base with that piece its laughable.
/*******************/
Flyers are always promoting their culture. It’s the last refuge of a team that has nothing else to sell the fans. Every team has a culture, every single one.
The Flyers are Sabres are copying off of each other and i’m not sure that’s a good thing.
Ruff also said culture was “everything” when the Sabres were trying to improve the roster in the offseason. In trading JJ Peterka for Michael Kesselring and Josh Doan, the Sabres got two strong locker room pieces who are difficult to play against. Ruff also mentioned Justin Danforth and Mason Geertsen as two signings that fall into that same bucket. Ruff is clear that he wants the team to be better defensively, and he wants a hardworking team that is a pain to play against.
After all the bullshit even Ruff admits : “Talk is cheap,” Ruff said. “We’re going to have to just win games.” The article could’ve just posted this and saved 1000 words.
more buzzwords. winning makes you hard to play against. shocked they still get paying fans to those games
