Is that a purple suit Dunleavy is wearing or is my tv messed up?

They are announcing Hall resigning 8 years 72 million.

unclear, its been very hush hush and no charges have been filed yet.

he may be facing serious legal issues

Nope An experienced competent GM is all that is required. One that will hire an experienced competent coach.

Bogo won a cup last year and may win another this year.

heartburn from watching the Sabres

When you continually hire coaches and GMs with no experience this is what happens.

Sorry to hear. It sounds awful. Feel better soon. At least there’s a game to watch tonight to make you feel more miserable.

Saskatoon is his home. He is guaranteed a huge amount of money from the Leafs so why not kick back with the family and enjoy life and still make 6 million a year. I imagine 6 million goes pretty far in Saskatoon. He is exactly what we need in the coaching department, a demanding experienced winner, but we also need an experienced GM that he can work with.

Didn’t Jack have his best year under RK and isn’t he a skill player?

There is no possible realistic situation that the contract would be fine. He could play all pp minutes and all minutes with Jack and it would still be the worst contract in the league. It’s too long and a NMC in addition to 9 million/ year. Unless Skinner turns into Austin Matthews it’s a bad deal.

We could only be so lucky to have Babcock. He would have done fine had he be given more time. Mathews has developed into the best player in the game now. He had Marner and Mathews and Nylander when they were very young. Similar to what bylesma had with Eichel and Reinhart and Risto.

Anyone who suggests hiring a coach without successful NHL head coaching experience should be permanently banned from this board. The same is true for a GM. The Sabres never learn from their mistakes.

Adams tendering Montour was a huge error, almost as big as not addressing the goaltending situation.

All the Botteril apologists wanted to claim that the Joker trade was a steal. We got what we paid for and nothing more. Joker is a bottom pair defenseman.

It's about time....

Fast times at Ridgemont High. The greatest movie ever made.

The vaccine roll out in the US is much better than in Canada. None of my numerous relatives over the age of 65 have been vaccinated in Canada. In addition most elective surgery is postponed with waits approaching 10-12 months. Many health care workers have been unable to obtain the vaccine in Canada.

Burke still believes you need some sandpaper in your lineup. You can’t be the wimpiest team in the league and expect to compete in the playoffs. He would have hated our roster.

That is very worrisome if true. Hopefully Skinner will adopt a different mindset.

This was clearly the greatest moment when we acquired the greatest Sabre of them all.

How do you know that Skinner is not well liked by the other players? I have not heard that.

The NHL tried to be cheap and didn't test frequently enough and use rapid testing. They also refused to get rid of seats behind benches in arenas where fans are allowed. They didn't cancel games when they should have. The owners are losing their shirts this year with the CBA and they are skimping to save every penny at the risk of player safety.
