I believe that is the case too (at least originally) and I hope that is what GMKA steps up and does next. He did not choose HCRK, he inherited him - albeit with ownership defacto making Kruger a part of the deal in promoting Adams as GM. But now that Adams has had some time in the saddle, he needs to put his big boy GM pants on and state the obvious to the Pegulas - making the call that Ralphie must go.

Tonight Dylan Cozens showed this team and its fanbase what genuine leadership, passion, sacrifice, and humilty with maturity are all about. (Ironic it takes a 19 y.o. rookie to show the team that) I was always an Eichel defender, but his attitude has begun to disgust me. He is acting like a woke entitled Boston baby. That is why this core is so rotten and has been in recent years. This year of Eichel has turned this epiphany light on for me. Purge the culturally weak core (especially Eichel - whom you will get the double benefit from the trade of eliminating a negative player while getting a big return of the right kind of players for your perceived "greatest player asset") and build around the mature beyond his years kid with a work ethic, passion, humility, and grit from the Yukon Territory!

You can add the legacy broadcast "news" networks (i.e. CBS, ABC, NBC, PBS) to that same list. All corporate big media that selectively reports on the narrative propaganda of their worldview. Independent mefia and doing your own homework to read/view ORIGINAL SOURCES (& unedited) are the only way to get news anymore. It takes work, but truth matters.

Sadly, it is indeed an indictment on you as your posts on this topic have been speaking from a viewpoint that presupposes you have the moral high-ground. That is a fallacy. You are entitled to your opinion as we all do. Just not entitled to position your opinion as if it is more enlightened and implies that those who think fighting is OK, or dare I say it, good, in the physical sport of hockey are somehow neanderthals that go way back to the 70's. I'm fine with your argument, just think about how you present it and you will receive less guff. Heck, you may even convince one of us unenlightened neanderthals. : ) Seriously though, thank you for all you do to make this site possible and God bless freedom of speech (albeit greatly eroding).

Can you post a different link to the video? This Twitter User blocks views of its posts and the video wont even play here on our board.

If our job was professional hockey, you betcha! This is a physical SPORT, not a business/non-profit/thoughtworkplace. Poor analogy. Would you say the same thing if your job was a soldier going against any enemy in the theater of war? But they are human beings.... The wussification of America is complete. Time to surrender and hang up our man pants.

Maybe if this team showed half an ounce of the passion this fanbase has, then maybe the culture would not be broken.

No one is saying bring back goon-ism or the 70's. But passion, defending yourself and your teammates physically, and sacrificing yourself for your team is leading by example, it is Servant Leadership. Fighting has its place and it took a Rookie to show this team how to lead. You say it doesn't impact the score. I disagree. It may not have affected this game's score, but more of this kind of physical example, sacrifice, and leadership will equate to much improved scores and even more importantly WINS in the days/years to come. Stepping off the soapbox now to give someone else a turn : )

Next Sabres practice, they should spend the entire time, watching the video of Dylan Cozens fight on a loop! That will be far more effective than any "coaching" or words of wisdom from HCRK. This is the way.

Love Rayzors expert fight analysis!

Oh MY! Make Dylan Cozens CAPTAIN right now!!! THAT is how you lead and play with passion

NJ playing with quickness to puck and a fire under them from Lindy. We need to go hard and finish strong.

Woooo! Samson for the comeback goal!

Lindy must be ripping into his players. They are playing fired up and beating us to the puck. NJ players want it more.

Kind of an important skillset for a goalie.

Great. Now I need to go to the bathroom.

DeAngelo just got waived from Rangers (because he prefers Parler over Censoring Twitter). Let's grab him to help our D! Only on a 2 year contract.

Looks great. Thanks! Go Sabres!!!

Looks like they only have S-XL. Stinks. There are a lot of us old overweight former athletes out here that need 2XL's !!! ☺️ span widget

I'm fine with that. Macy's is overpriced shiny stuff made in Chinese sweatshops. 😉 Long term could prove wise. Wait and be patient to see the entire picture. Don't gasp at every little brush stroke.

I realize it's a bit of apples vs oranges, but I can't help but compare this high vitriolic reaction to our pick as to a certain 1st rd pick at #7 by the Bills just 3 short years ago. (See Josh Allen) Just a reminder that we wont really know how this pick stacks up for a while. Give it time folks. This is not the Sabres' Apocalypse. 😉

So @LGR4GM, who do you like/hope for our next pic round?

No one can argue that we need more depth scoring. I am hopeful this will be a fruitful pick to that end. #focusingonthepositive

Listening to the press interview with him now. Sounds solid, impressed with his maturity. Spent past 6 months in gym to get even bigger/stronger so he can still make plays/score while big NHL-ers are trying to knock him off the puck. While like many here, I wanted his linemate, Rossi, I am more comfortable with this pick. A solid piece to the TEAM puzzle. Time will tell.
