Should watch outlander if you want action... it might have more "action" than game of thrones

Isn’t that weird?

Good teams like to tinker and try to still improve?

Pegula must think we don't need a goalie

Is it Slapshot? Youngblood? Goon? Any of those would have more action for sure.

Even watching the local Radar of weather coming in your area would 😂

Krueger began his coaching career as an assistant with EV Duisburg of the German second league. Between 1994 and 1998, he led VEU Feldkirch to five straight Austrian championships, culminating in Feldkirch becoming champions in 1998 of the European Hockey League, made up of the champions of various European leagues. This experience later encouraged him to author a motivational book.[6] After the successes with the Austrian team, he took over as full-time head coach of the Swiss national ice hockey team, having split his time between Feldkirch and Switzerland in 1998. His tenure with the Swiss national team has also seen some notable successes. He led the team to appearances at the 2002, 2006 and 2010 Olympic Games and to several World Championship appearances.[7] Krueger was also a scouting consultant for the Carolina Hurricanes.[8]

Krueger spoke at the World Hockey Summit in 2010, and addressed the need to co-ordinate International Ice Hockey Federation and National Hockey Leagueevents.[9] He suggested that the World Cup of Hockey be played every four years, alternating with the Olympics Games every two years. He wanted to see the Ice Hockey World Championships became an under-23 event during Olympic years.[10] He felt it would be beneficial to national teams to evaluate their younger talent at the international level. He wanted to resurrect the Champions Hockey Leagueand Victoria Cup competitions, which he felt would make the game more popular in Europe.[11]

Krueger joined the Oilers as associate coach in 2010.[8] Although during his time with the Swiss team, Krueger may have been known as a defensive-minded coach, he has also demonstrated the ability to deliver the offensive style of game. This was confirmed by his performance as coach for VEU Feldkirch in Austria. He has been described as a great communicator, positive thinker and a motivator. The book he authored (in German, also translated into French), called Teamlife - Beyond Setbacks to Success, was devoted to handling problems in life, and became a bestseller.[12]

The Oilers promoted Krueger to head coach for the 2012–13 NHL season, but he was relieved of his duties after only one season.[13] Hockey Canadasubsequently added Krueger as a special adviser to its coaching staff for the 2014 Winter Olympics.[14][15]

Krueger was chosen to coach Team Europe in the 2016 World Cup of Hockey.[16]

On 15 May 2019, Krueger returned to the NHL as the head coach of the Buffalo Sabres.[17]

But he doesn't pass the eye test.  He is not a hockey coach.

Ralph Krueger is dumb and stubborn, wilfully indulging his own arrogance and narcissism while putting his ignorance on full display.

I simply don't know how you do more of the same and expect it to work better.  It's lunacy.

And now you rest Cozens, say on morning radio that you expect a big game from him, and then stick him with Rieder and Eakin.

I would say he is expecting Cozens to be excited to be back in the line up, but, this is Ralph Krueger we are speaking about. He probably does expect the rookie to carry the team.

Da heck is wrong with RK?  How do you NOT put Cozens back on the line with Hall and Staal.  That's been the best line we've had lately.  They pass the eye test!  Maybe RK needs his eyes checked.

I’m happy we are not losing yet. Hello low expectations! 

 

Go Sabres! 

 

Let’s celebrate if we make it to the 2 min mark with a 0-0 tie!
