  1. I'd pull forechecking stats for them and go after as many as I can get.
  2. Kevyn Adams is responsible. He let it happen.
  3. Adams and Granato are to blame. They did nothing, nothing.
  4. So you want the league to fold? Cuz the Sabres are the NHL development team.
  5. Because Tuch was regurgitating Kevyn Adams excuses. The team bought the bs Adams and Granato were peddling.
  6. What's the easiest, most unimaginative, straightforward option? Cuz that's who Adams will pick.
  7. Whoever wrote this is silly. Buffalo drafting another lhd would be hilarious. Like, wtf does this even mean? "They’ve got some good young ones in Rasmus Dahlin and Owen Power, but adding a dynamic, two-way threat like Dickinson would be massive" ... Dickinson is good but if you draft him, you better be aggressively shopping Muel.
  8. WGRs wall to wall to wall coverage of the NFL schedule release is some of the worst radio ever. It's truly the most boring conversation and they don't stfu about. It's been a week straight of this trash already. Garbage radio.
  9. Again, doesn't mean these ppl cannot have success. They very well can be very good, but the underlying process is deeply flawed.
  10. My pushback is not about this. My pushback is this is another sign that the underlying decision making processes of the Buffalo Sabres are faulty. They fired Granato because Ruff was available. They picked Ruff because he was Ruff, ties to the org and Adams. They deliberately left all the assistant coaches in place except for the one they needed to fire to bring up Appert. They brought up Appert because they already plan to put him in as HC in 2 years. They brought up his video guy because Appert likes his video guy. The process is not, let's take a good long hard look at ourselves and figure out our weaknesses. Then we will find the ppl who can correct those weaknesses and we will find the best ppl. It is, what's easiest for us that makes us comfortable. Now the outcome can still be good, but the process underlying it is broken and flawed.
  11. What's your goal with this?
  12. He's 29, how good do you feel about his prime lasting for say, 6 years on a new deal?
  13. That's good to hear.
  14. Yea, this was all planned. There was no search for ***** and Ruff was told that he was hiring Appert. Appert wanted his video coach.
  15. Ruff on the PP: talked about the NHL pp and the movement. Even more about how teams kill and take away flank shots. Teams need to get some motions, bumper player is almost most important player. Talked about creating down low 2v1. Mentioned motion and more deception to be more effective.
  16. Kevyn told Lindy to talk to Appert.
  17. Welp, it is clear Adams isn't bringing substantial good veterans to fix the bottom six. He's gonna bring up 2-3 Amerks, probably re-sign Zemgus, and run a bottom 6 of... Rosen - Krebs - Savoie Zemgus - New Guy - Murray Can totally see this without even blinking. Greenway and Skinner will be rotating in depending on injury as Rosen and Savoie sit at times. JJP - Tage - Tuch Benson - Cozens - Quinn Greenway - Krebs - Skinner Zemgus - New Guy - rotating cast of Rosen, Savoie, Murray (who will be moved up the lineup depending on who's going)
  18. Matt Ellis is going upstairs to be the eye in the sky. Seth Appert will be responsible for the PP.
  19. So the timeline was Ruff got fired, Adams and Pegula decided they wanted Ruff. Gave Granato the end of year to save face. Didn't conduct any search and hired Ruff. Fired the 1 assistant Ruff wanted the least. Fired the Video Coach to promote one Appert likes. Waited until Appert was done in the AHL and promoted him. This shows a great process and that we are in good hands. We are so lucky to have such hard working people running this organization, leaving no stone unturned. Bringing the very best coaching to the NHL they can. No favoritism and easy way outs here.
  20. They don't make playoffs this season, I hope Pegula sells because they'll never win crap with him as owner.
  21. Been beating this drum for a month. Andrew Brunette is a good coach.
