Amerks 24/25 - Young Talented Roster

[Flashsabre]

Leone has been a real find. He has installed a standard he expects everyone to play to. Even when they win he is on the team because he didn’t like the way they played, it wasn’t up to their standard. And the players talk about the standard all the time in interviews.  And they are a very talented team. First OA in the AHL with a ton of kids playing vital roles.

I think Leone should be the next Sabres coach, not Appert. Team looks much better under Leone’s leadership.

Appert had some success but Leone has gotten the Amerks to another level, with a young roster too. Normally teams like Hershey that are mostly veteran AHLers dominate.

That's back to back shutouts for Levi. And this one in a 5 shot shootout. Let Levi cook!

At least there is a winning team in this organization. All these players will fall off the face of the earth when the make the Sabres roster.

Pervasive negativity can turn into a neurosis if left unchecked.😄

I wonder if it’s too early for him to get some interest from other teams this offseason. If so, the Sabres may be forced to bring him up. Wonder if Ruff would step aside if this happens.

next season it'll probably be

HC Appert, AC Leone

 No. Nothing to be positive about...at all. 😭 Enjoy your pit of despair.

Here are some positive thoughts: they’ll most likely finish in the bottom 10 of the league for the 11th time in 14 seasons  
 

what are some of your positive thoughts?

Amerks best team in the AHL. Sabres winning 5 of 6. Young players like Kulich emerging. Levi may be the next Ryan Miller. I'm weird in that I don't like being miserable about everything. I try to enjoy things.
