At this point,

WHO F***ING CARES?

Could care less about his pressers.

So, you could care less. I’m at rock bottom. I could not care any less about anything anyone says in a press conference than I do right now.

We have heard it all by now and nothing has improved. Well except our prospect pool but thats a result of how terrible the parent club has been so…its a wash.

Didn't all the teams make the playoffs for like ... the first 50 years? Not that it makes our sitch any better.

Expand  

Pre-WW2 all the teams were in a kinda weird playoff, 1-2 would play and 3-6 had a mini-tournament to play the winner of 1-2. After that, the number is more like 2/3, I think. During the original 6, it was 4 four teams, then 8 of 12, 12 of 18, 16 of 21. Since 1993, it's been 16 teams, with the league slowly growing to now, where that's 50%.

Is there an official date where lindy Ruff has to pick his staff? It still lists Bales/Ellis and the rest as the assistants and i'm really hoping that changes.

Expand  

All the assistants who were being fired have been fired. Ellis might be reassigned but I would guess Lindy adds 1 person to that staff sometime this summer. Bales has UPL's improvement to hang his hat on right now so he's safe. Wilford being around is a little surprising but they must believe in the defense.

That would explain a lack of announcement.  No need to take any action.

Expand  

He was at the Lindy presser.

Lindy also said in one of his subsequent interviews that he has been meeting with the holdover coaches about the team and their roles and will be fleshing out his staff later.

I fully expect a new hire or hires and I also expect Ellis to be back, it’s just a matter of where.

The Sabres have the league record for longest losing streak, the longest playoff drought, and they are getting close to the longest playoff series win drought (they're at 18, Panthers were 24). The Sabres are only three years behind of the Leafs for longest cup drought.

The Sabres are, without a doubt, the Worst franchise in NHL history.

... and they aren't getting better.

Expand  

They are tied with Vancouver at "three years behind" the Loaves. Great thing about that stat, it will likely remain at three years until the Sabres win a cup, lol

Expand  

Expansion partner Vancouver had a great season by changing coaches. Maybe the Sabres follow suit. A few personnel tweaks wouldn’t hurt either.

His contract is up, from what I heard

Expand  

I've heard his contract was up, but I also heard references to him still being on staff since Donny got fired.  I'm not sure which is correct.
