It was fine, I don't blame him. I just wish they kept it to 15 minutes if he wasn't gonna reveal anything. 1 hour of nothingness is aggressive.

I thought it was pretty good, honestly. I wasn’t expecting him to name trade targets or anything, and the questions were at least diverse enough that he basically spoke to every issue. The opening was good too, where he just basically gave a speech on everything he saw from training camp through the playoffs.

The other interesting thing was about Matty. Said it really was a day to day thing that they thought would just naturally resolve itself, but that there were “flare ups” a few times along the way. That rules out any actual disease or life threatening thing. Made it seem to me like it really was his back, probably not the wrist.

I wanted to hang myself listening to that 3 hour sermon on events that we all watched
 
You guys should be jizzing your tits off over tre. Wants to get rid of Marner. Wants to add a PMD. Doesn’t seem to love their defensive zone strategy.

Actually yes. Matt Larkin did. That was the most interesting question and answer.

Said he agrees with Matt that blocking shots is not necessarily a good thing because it means you're getting hemmed in a lot. And that he needs to consider tactic changes or personnel changes on d, though he did admit that may be tough with everyone under contract.

But also defended tactics in the same breath, saying it's by design and that giving up volume and reducing high danger stuff is part of the plan. He likes the d, he likes their length, etc. but he agrees they need more offense and puck moving and thinks it doesn't have to necessarily mean acquiring new players to do it.

There’s value in seeing what the guy in charge thought about everything we all watched, since he’s the only one who has the power to do anything about it.

All he did was narrate events. I really didn't need a game by game narration of an 82 game season and 2 rounds of playoffs. The viewer has to add their interpretation based on his tone and body language which can be fun. He obviously thinks they choked and missed a great opportunity especially in game 3 but like no shit
 
He basically said “we had a great offseason, we had a great season, we had a great round one, we had a great start to round two.. then we blew 3 big moments because our guys have shitty DNA from pfeizer, and they do it every year.” Its pretty good
 
Getting less skilled and slower is beyond stupid. And it will continue.
Trev has locked the D in for years to come and they are aging and can't move the puck.
