TRIP65 Posted October 8 Report Posted October 8 Ruff does not know his Team yet on ice. That will happen after 25% of the season gone by. He will tap all he can from Rochester if needed. They have been going to the playoffs so there is Talent there! We have Goaltending!!!! Ruff will get this defense matched up properly so we have Defense He now has to find a 1C center that can bring puck up ice. This should NOT be Dahlin or Power. Those two should come in after Puck is set in offensive zone. This Team needs to see what they have in Bottom Two lines, it takes a few games to find out!!!!! ONLY two games on a NEW team for Ruff. Doesn't know this Organization, he was Fired by Pegula when he got here. Quote

Can you tell me what the difference is between a disaster and an unmitigated disaster? Genuinely asking. I’ve heard it before, but don’t understand the difference. I’m not in any way trying to call you out, just trying to learn. Thank you. 😀 Quote

We don’t have any patience for anybody right now. Let’s get a win on Thursday and a point out of Sat against the defending champs. If that happens, I’m not worried about the team overall. If the Sabres don't get there, then let’s get worked up together. Quote

North Buffalo Posted October 9 Report Posted October 9 Unmitigated generally means it could have been avoided or lessened (another words the disaster could have been mitigated, but it wasn't)... 1 Quote

Archie Lee Posted October 9 Report Posted October 9 18 minutes ago, North Buffalo said: Unmitigated generally means it could have been avoided or lessened (another words the disaster could have been mitigated, but it wasn't)... A mitigating factor in last year’s disaster of a season, was the play of UPL. It perhaps wasn’t fully anticipated or even predicted, but without his strong play things would have been much worse. Mitigating factors aren’t always accounted for prior to the disaster. Quote

But an unmitigated disaster implies that there were things that were seen or sensed, that could have been avoided in advance. But were not. If this season ends in a disaster ,then you have to look at what happened and why (root causes identified), and then you can call it unmitigated if the Sabres FO was lax and unprepared. Lax and unprepared is a common state for the Sabres under TP. 1 1 Quote

Thorner Posted October 10 Report Posted October 10 7 minutes ago, Weave said: I would almost think that two of 3, 4, 5 might have to happen for 2 to happen. I don’t think so. You don’t need a 50 goal scorer and a second 60 point D man to make the playoffs 1 Quote

Thorner Posted October 10 Report Posted October 10 3 minutes ago, Weave said: *THIS* band of merry men might. Maybe, but upon quick perusal: there wasn’t a single NHL team last year with 2 of those 3 I’d imagine any two of: 50 goal scorer, 20 goal rookie scorer, and two 60 point D men (if power gets 60 Dahlin will) would essentially guarantee not only a spot but a high seeding Quote

It’s hard to see a situation where Joki is holding back the D core imo given that context If Tage is scoring 50, there’s going to be a lot of guys with a lot of assists, etc etc If Thompson hits 50, we have 2 60 point D men, and Kulich has 20: I’ll wager we are top 3 in conference If not higher 1 Quote
