Claude Balls Posted October 18, 2017 Report Posted October 18, 2017 Other than Jack, this team has no identity. To me you can be a speed team or a heavy team... but what is this collection of guys? They're slow and they don't play physical. And, they're not terribly skilled (other than Jack). Just a bunch of guys who skate around and collect paychecks. Agreed. I am very surprised at how slow this team really looks. I thought Nolan would bring a little toughness back to the team, but even he looks disinterested out there. Quote
Mustache of God Posted October 18, 2017 Report Posted October 18, 2017 (edited) It's a brand new day so I'm going to be opti!istic. Sabres show some gumption and come back here winning the game in regulation. Edited October 18, 2017 by mustacheofgod Quote
Billznut Posted October 18, 2017 Report Posted October 18, 2017 If housley gets fired I want Ruff back.I was actually shocked Ruff took an assistant role with the Rangers. Thought he would hold out for a head job. I actually wouldn’t mind seeing Ruff try his hand with some of these current players. I think Housley is too nice. This team needs a coach who will kick them in the ass. Quote
Iron Crotch Posted October 18, 2017 Report Posted October 18, 2017 I love Jack but does anybody wonder how different this franchise would be if we had Ekblad and McDavid instead of Reinhart and Eichel? If we had won both of the lotteries we should have, this would be a completely different team. For sure, but we only had a 20% shot. Tough to expect anything otherwise. Also, Ekblad is a shell of his potential at this point because of injuries and not being sheltered like he was his rookie year. As I recall, I was just about the only guy on this board who wasn't "all in" on taking Reinhart #2 overall a few years ago. I always favored Draisaitl. Hindsight is 20/20, but it is hard to argue that Samson is a difference maker thus far (although to be fair it was a pretty weak draft). Quote

Stoner Posted October 18, 2017 Report Posted October 18, 2017 But wasn't Ruff fired for being too nice too? No. Ask Luke Adam. Who's in a home as result. Quote
Huckleberry Posted October 18, 2017 Report Posted October 18, 2017 Starting to think Tortorella would be a good fit for this group :blink: Quote
hockeyhound Posted October 18, 2017 Report Posted October 18, 2017 It's a brand new day so I'm going to be opti!istic. Sabres show some gumption and come back here winning the game in regulation. I'm with you. I was prepared to optimistic going into the 3rd at 2-1 but..... Turn over a new leaf, throw out the negativity, and be a pillar of positivity. Let's Go Buffalo! Quote
Hugh Jass Posted October 18, 2017 Report Posted October 18, 2017 Risto isn't even trying anymore. Quote
Nitro60 Posted October 18, 2017 Report Posted October 18, 2017 Good chance. Need to bury those opportunities. Quote
Doohicksie Posted October 18, 2017 Author Report Posted October 18, 2017 The Sabres will win with one good EP (Eichel Period) Quote
Billznut Posted October 18, 2017 Report Posted October 18, 2017 But wasn't Ruff fired for being too nice too?Ruff was a hard ass for years and then he softened up at the end to try and save his job, but it didn’t work. Quote

Nothing wrong with holding out for a head job. In fact, I have before. Quote
Randall Flagg Posted October 18, 2017 Report Posted October 18, 2017 But isn’t Ekblad still better than Risto? I think Ekblad still is a #1. Risto seems more like a #2 He probably is, I haven't watched closely enough to know for sure, but Florida fans are very worried Quote
Billznut Posted October 18, 2017 Report Posted October 18, 2017 I don’t see Pegula bringing back Ruff though Quote
Stoner Posted October 18, 2017 Report Posted October 18, 2017 Bailey's not so good at playing D. Quote
Claude Balls Posted October 18, 2017 Report Posted October 18, 2017 Duff and Marty: shills. Marty trying to say they can win because Subban is a young goalie who will let in some softies, lol. Nice try Marty, just say what you really want to.....the Sabres suck!!! Quote
Hugh Jass Posted October 18, 2017 Report Posted October 18, 2017 Wow, just dump our star forwards, we'll let you....sheesh. Quote
Doohicksie Posted October 18, 2017 Author Report Posted October 18, 2017 I have to say: I wouldn't mind having some of that Carrier hustle back. Quote
Stoner Posted October 18, 2017 Report Posted October 18, 2017 Vegas player tries the wraparound unmolested then flattens Pominville. Oh, Carrier. Says it all tonight. Quote
Billznut Posted October 18, 2017 Report Posted October 18, 2017 Nothing wrong with holding out for a head job. In fact, I have before.I know a lot of it with coaches in the NFL and NHL and probably all professional leagues has to do with their pensions. Something about if they have continuous work, their pensions thrive, whereas if they take a year or two off, the pensions suffer. Quote
Mustache of God Posted October 18, 2017 Report Posted October 18, 2017 Carrier just rocked pommer Quote
Nitro60 Posted October 18, 2017 Report Posted October 18, 2017 Kyle hot dogging leads to a goal. Geez Quote
