Clearly Reinhart is a star. Fine? The 4th Harry Potter movie was “just fine.” unrelentingly negative

His posts may look like a dot if your perspective is from the edges. In reality his newest content is merely the latest in a long line of varying opinion

Lindy

Do they make the sweaters in sabres/Hulk Hogan yellow?

Enabling me to speak with conviction from experience It’s like CHILDREN OF MEN (2006) Im 54 years old and I’m the youngest contributor to this board

Can you imagine if they’d have hired Rod Brindamour and we had to look at his stupid Carolina cup raising face on a day to day basis? No thanks. Hard pass. Adams is enough. Id rather reign in hell

We might have triggered a continuum ripple by watching that hockey game

@LGR4GMjust tell me one thing: can you envision Lindy interviewing on the way to the locker room and filling the shoes of Gene Hackman while doing this? Search your feelings..

Precursory search says he did!

Knew he made it famous. Didn’t know he coined it. Nice

Why you haven’t added a 69 to that avatar yet is beyond me

I don’t know when the phrase was first coined but given that it’s still in regular English usage today, yes I do remember

I’ve always maintained Terry is a smart hockey man

Ouch? lmao

You know what, I didn’t realize how much I wanted Ruff until it happened. Hockey aside (yes), I just like him. I like Lindy Ruff and what he represents and always really liked him in Buffalo. Love how he stands up for the players. I’ve struggled so much with a disconnect of late with this roster and this management, I don’t even care how superficial a factor it seems, it’s honestly really not: I WANT to root for Lindy. He makes me like the team more. If it’s a gimmick hire - I’m sorry: well done.

PR hire buries the headline: A competent veteran coach Veteran competence > upside potential. finally. This is a team full of kids that seems to *CARE* about the PR. That’s the rub. For good or ill. They’ll respect Ruff. He’ll do enough to get them in the playoffs. Is he an amazing coach? No. Will his veteran experience mine SOME points over the course of 82? Yes. no stone unturned

what an awesome moment

293-247-69 did the work - it’s an 88 point pace over 82 but it’s really a tale of 2 Lindys. There’s been 8 seasons: his teams have averaged 99 points per, the 5 seasons they’ve had a winning record. they’ve averaged 70 points the other 3

Did you watch the whole game? Score was misleading. 46-23 shots for Colorado and it started like 20-5. Winnipeg was there for the taking as they usually are on home ice in the playoffs but Georgiev was worse

This feels like an incredibly short-sighted, “claw your way into the playoffs; worry about the rest later” hire. I could cry. Cry from happiness. Sabres are back.

Didn’t KA say he’s part of the leadership and identity fabric we do have? One of the hardest things here is parsing out what statements Adams makes that we choose to believe and which we don’t. I suspect it mostly comes down to individual predisposition

I sure hope calling it Adams’ failure isn’t too much against the grain. He’s more culpable than Granato. Players, coaches…buck stops at GM

Avs dominated almost the entire game what were you watching lol they lost cause Georgiev couldn’t stop a beach ball
