Botterills interview on WGR rn is killing me - Im done

He's just an idiot, it feels like he doesn't even watch games Buffalo. He says that he likes the team’s fortitude, he says that he likes how the team reacted to Cernak’s blow to Dahlin’s face, where did he see the team’s fortitude? The team didn’t react at all to the situation with Dahlin, I don’t understand what he’s say.

All I could think when I heard that is- we have a horrid reputation among players as being a bad place to go play. So our gm just said that it's basically cool to scum our best players. Not sticking up for your teammates, I mean did you see how bad the wheels fell off when Lucic steamrolled ryan miller? i swear half the team checked out that day. I'm not saying every guy should fight, maybe none should, but maybe put kucherov on his ass a couple times. It's just the worst message from a guy who is in over his head.

Toughness has evolved in hockey and I have 0 faith in GMs that eschew the thought of it (Dubas, Botterill) yeah the era of lumbering enforcers is dead, but those players evolved into Ryan Reaves, Josh Andersons, and Tom Wilsons. You may not get a Tom Wilson in your top 6 but theirs nothing wrong with having Ryan Reaves in your bottom 6. I have no faith now, even if they get to the playoffs, i dont see them ever getting out of the first round

As poorly as we are built for the regular season, i shudder to think of this team if the refs put their whistles away
