Read complete scouting report from EP draft guide Anton is a big centre with good wheels. He is a fast skater with a long stride. He is strong on his skates and covers the puck well. He likes to come with speed and challenge the defence. He is good at deking close to his body and to take the puck to the inside. Wahlberg can truly hold on to a puck. He has the qualities needed to work the boards, extend possession, and create better offensive looks for his team.

I would try and go after a coach with a better history of winning is the jist of the whole thing for me. Neither are good enough. Maybe one does not exist??

Ties are not considered in "winning" percentage. It is based on WINS. I understand, compare those teams to the one that is on the ice now. Which one would you choose?

Games played is off by 84 for LR Not sure why the difference in the actual numbers between the two sites. 80 somthing off for games played for Ruff and 20 something for Donnie.

I copyied the info from Hockeydb. Winning percentage = Games Won divided by Games Played. It is in the spreadsheet and can compare to Hockedb. Why is it so hard to think DG and Lindy have the a similar wining percentage? Dg's numberes will change alot because of the small sample size. As a wise person told me, perception and reality are two different things. That is why we have data.

Uh Yes! Count your hershey bars...lol Hasek makes any team a playoff team.

If ifs and buts were candy and nuts we would all be president of the team and won 7 stanley cups...

Similar with the small sample size of games played for DG.

Hasek would make any coach look good and get you in the playoffs. When you look at the rosters when Ruff was in the playoffs, he didn't have any stinkin putty cats.

Stats from Hockey DB. DG wins 112 games played 256 equals .4375 win percentage Stats from Hockey DB. LR wins 571 games played 1165 equals .490 win percentage don g vs lindy.xlsx

Interestingly, DG and LR have similar winning percentages in Buffalo.

It is interesting to look at Lindy's coaching career at Buffalo. Playoff years with Hasek and Ryan Miller in goal.

Need 30 points in 20 games to hit 92. I don't think 92 is going to be good enough. 95 would work, which equates to averaging 1.75 points per game...

Why would Carolina help out Toronto in a trade for Ilya Lyubushkin? Makes no sense to me..

With this team, and its current history, it is hard to maintain a sense of humor or to recognize it...

How about Barnaby, Peca, and McKee as the new coaching staff!

Donnie ball all the way... spreadin to the AHL. Stay tuned, more to come!

Don't Boo - Cheer for the other team.. Make it seem like a road game. Maybe the players/coaches/GM will get it then.

Also pick a fan base that won't boo or say bad things about their play. Maybe send them along with a box of tissues.

Not sure about those other teams and their reasons for making a coaching change, but with everything going on with the fans comments from the locker room and the coach, that a change is not warranted?

Wow- After reading this, I can't believe how deep this runs. Trying to switch the narrative to the fans because you have been playing s_ _t hockey. If I owned this team, this whole mess would go away by removing the cancer. LOL - just had a thought, instead of booing, maybe the fans should cheer for the visiting team! Make the sabers feel like they are on ther road so they can pretend they are not in Buffalo. Also can pretend to be hockey players...

His leadership. I like leaders who win. 2 cents. Sorry but the above is an excuse for the two. They just don't have the Kahunas. They are sea level players, keep their heads above the water to stay alive and don't splash or make waves. I have seen leaders stand above and take over when upper managment /coaching falls apart. Athletes are no different. The barn needs to be gutted. Will ownership do the right thing and end the friendship.

Will he be a man of action or take easy street.

KO -Likeable vs winning. Maybe his two-faced comments is destroying the culture and not allowing the team to move forward. Nice captain pic. Lets not salute the fans - great locker room... On top of that - coach allows it and GM does nothing. Need to empty the barn. Clean out the leftovers from the last 13 years of losing. Get rid of the stench. Anyone affiliated is out.

This is just crazy...Only one way to fix it. Don't support them. Bud Light them.
