inkman Posted March 6, 2017 Report Posted March 6, 2017 How about Chad Ruhwedel? Is he not a poster child of a average/decent player getting a chance with a good coach and having a good go of it after being Dan'd? Rudy is just not good. He possess no ability to defend in his own end.
Thorner Posted March 7, 2017 Report Posted March 7, 2017 4. I know it is not popular around here, but I don't think he's a full time center either. I keep comparing him to Patrick Sharp, and I think that's about right. A winger who is as much a playmaker as a scorer who can fill in at center situationally. And until we have enough top 6 wingers there aren't going to be many situations where it makes sense to have him center the 3rd line. Too valuable in a top 6 wing role. Which leads us too.... 7. Not sure which thread it was, but the post that ranked our prospect pool disagrees with your assessment of Baliey IMO. The league scouting consensus seems to be he isn't a top 5 prospect for us. Where was he? 7, 8? something like that? Given 2 years of pro development, that tells me his long term future is not in the top 6. OK, he's better than a 4th line role, but I think 3rd is about where he belongs when fully developed. But I don't agree that Reinhart is as much a playmaker as a scorer. He is much more a playmaker. He's at his best when distributing, and as such is best utilized at centre. He doesn't really play the game like Sharp does.

We're like, one large seafaring vessel away from this becoming a textbook mutiny.
WildCard Posted March 7, 2017 Report Posted March 7, 2017 @Matt_Bove Mar 5 Since returning from the bye week the #Sabres have seen a third period lead disappear in four of their six games.
Brawndo Posted March 7, 2017 Report Posted March 7, 2017 This will come down to the end of the year player interviews. If Jack, Sam and ROR mention they do not like playing for Dan, I believe he is gone. Murray has stuck up for DD, but I believe this maybe a front. He doesn't want to give the preception to other potential coaching candidates that he lets the players run the team. Elliott Friedman mentioned there was another team, not with a temporary HC, in negotiations with Claude Julien for his services before the Habs hired him. It wouldn't surprise me if that team was Buffalo. Harrington was on a podcast where he mentioned the Pittsburgh Beat Writers were seeing the same DD tendencies in the Sabres Play. Also he mentioned if Crosby really liked playing for DD, he would still be coaching Pittsburgh. All this adds up to Bylsma being dismissed at the end of the year.

I salute you, sir.

RustySabre Posted March 7, 2017 Report Posted March 7, 2017 I'm losing confidence in this guys each game. The constant line juggling. The backing into a defensive shell when playing with the lead. And one thing that always bothers me, watch how many times a Sabre will gain possession of the puck on a line rush and his line mates head to the bench on a line change, blowing the chance of some decent shots. I don't expect you to believe it because I say it, just watch for yourself. I can't figure this guy out.
Jacque Richard Posted March 8, 2017 Report Posted March 8, 2017 You gotta wonder wtf is going on with this group. I can't see the coaching staff coming back for next season
WildCard Posted March 8, 2017 Report Posted March 8, 2017 Long meetings yesterday, followed by laying an absolute egg today including Eichel getting benched in the 1st period. Exactly how bad does this have to get? I don't know but I hope it gets there before the end of this season
WildCard Posted March 8, 2017 Report Posted March 8, 2017 Eichel gets benched in the midst of a 3 point game and an 11 game point streak. Meanwhile, they allow 6 tonight, have coughed up leads in 4 of the previous six games, AND lost to a moribund Avs team' s backup goaltender. Anything ELSE you wanna do Dan? Anybody ELSE wanna grab some pine? Wait did he really get benched?
Jacque Richard Posted March 8, 2017 Report Posted March 8, 2017 Eichel is thinking oh my gosh I'm screwed here with disco
ubkev Posted March 8, 2017 Report Posted March 8, 2017 Please end this No way, man. This is the new Drew Stafford must go thread We had that going for like, 5 years!
ubkev Posted March 8, 2017 Report Posted March 8, 2017 Ristolainen with a robust -5 tonight. And he played 25 minutes. Radko Gudas was +5. And he had 3 points I think.
RustySabre Posted March 8, 2017 Report Posted March 8, 2017 According to RJ and Rayzor on the radio he got sat following a turnover that led to the first goal. It was a topic of conversation during the first intermission about how you don't want to kill his creativity but that he needs to be more responsible as well.Maybe he needs to be coached. Anyone know where to find one?
Wyldnwoody44 Posted March 8, 2017 Report Posted March 8, 2017 What could have been with a different stupid sexy coach
Jacque Richard Posted March 8, 2017 Report Posted March 8, 2017 Maybe he needs to be coached. Anyone know where to find one? No kidding, let's see maybe ole number 16 can help here
pi2000 Posted March 8, 2017 Report Posted March 8, 2017 Gudas and Del Zotto were both +5 The longer this goes the more the meaning of "Sharpen Your Swords" changes. Del Zotto a pending UFA IIRC.
Crusader1969 Posted March 8, 2017 Report Posted March 8, 2017 I held out for as long as I could but 1-7 out of the bye week has turned the tide. Wanted to give him chance with full lineup and now I've seen enough. fire Bylsma - tomorrow morning will be fine.

It was a topic of conversation during the first intermission about how you don't want to kill his creativity but that he needs to be more responsible as well. Are you freakin' kidding me? Eichel has made mistakes, but has he shown any indication that he's not a responsible player? Taking away ice time from Eichel is just a clueless move by a clueless coach.
Randall Flagg Posted March 8, 2017 Report Posted March 8, 2017 Dan's fine. we don't have the talent to compete with the Pens, or the Flyers, or the Coyotes, or the Avalanche, or the mighty Devils that swept us, or the mighty Canes that swept us, etc.

Keep it tight boys!
