I thought Baptiste looked enthused last night. Did some good stuff, hustled, looked like he cared. Anxious to see what he brings tonight. Might be now or never for him.
I'm actually looking forward to tonight's game. I guess that's what a one game winning streak does. And yes, for this years' team, I consider one win in a row as a streak.
Frankly, the Sabres already have more points on this roadie than I thought they would when it started.
I really thought you were starting a joke:
Nolan, McCabe and Nelson go in on a 3 on 1 break,,,,, (sort of in the a Priest, a Rabbi and an athiest walk into a bar).
The way JB has worked coaches in the past is to promote from the farm. I wouldn't mind Ruff back,but I see JB promoting Chris Taylor if he fired Housley.
Just a quick boyhood memory of Savard. Back when the Sabres practiced at the newly built Tonawanda Rec Center in NT (mid 70's), they also built out a workout room off the main lobby for the players. My buddy and I would see all the players. Out of all the players, Savard was the most chiseled, anvil-shaped athlete I had ever seen. The guy was built. Back then, half the guys were smoking cigarettes as they left the workout room. Andre stood out and looked the part of a pro.
Players who really gave a damn today (not saying they played well necessarily):
Gorges
Falk
Jack
Kane
Nolan
All but one will not be on the team next year. The guys who give a sh!t will be gone. Next year, with many of the same leftover players, should we expect different results?? Insanity.
