Whoa.

Where did you hear this?

I thought my post was clear. 🤷🏻 I asked why someone wouldn’t come here if we had the talent. If we don’t have the talent, why do people want the coach fired? Seems like a legit set of questions. It’s a game. Ralph is fabulously wealthy. If people want to replace him then replace him. He will be ok. I don’t think it is happening anytime soon though.

I’m starting to lose track of the complaints. If the problem is the head coach and we have more talent than the results show, then why would a head coach not want to come here? OTOH, if the problem is the players and no one wants to come here and coach these dorks then why are we firing the head coach?

Fans who start sentences with, "I just want..." are liars. The goal posts are always moved. It is what it is.

That's just word-smithing. Rigas/Golisano/Pegula all have ties. I don't care where they were born. In engineering we call this High Risk/High Consequence of an averse event occurring. It would be shown as red on any chart shown.

How do you explain Taylor Hall's willingness to sign here?

Got that new owner all lined up? Every knows the city has deeeeeep pockets of wealth.

How GROSSLY misinformed. Multilevel misinformed. 1. You should just know the basic fact that he was Director of Southampton. Not the coach. 2. As a person who watches sports at any level, how does one wrap their mind around the belief that a person can be capable and hired to be a head coach in the NHL AAAAND be the manager of an English Premier League team? 😳 Do you think people can just roll out of bed and coach at the highest levels of multi-billion dollar leagues?

Since it is a shortened season, I would say this is the equivalent of game 46.

That actually struck me as having meat on the bones.

How long has this discussion been so… reasonable and adult-like? I tuned out long ago when people were still sniping at each other. It’s really nice to see people exchanging helpful information in good faith. ❤️

Lost the team? How was that determined? Moving him within the organization still means you’re paying another body to be at the Sabres coach. Given the events of the past year do you really think this is going to happen?

$7M worth?

This is how angry fanbases set up the situation. If a guy plays injured, then he has no business being out there and it was a mistake. If the guy takes the game off he’s a ***** and a bad leader who doesn’t care about his teammates. The end opinion is always the same.

I don’t care if they fire Ralph. He is another coach that extracted the same record from an ever changing group of players. I will never care about answers in press conferences. In any sport, at any time. It’s hard to wrap my mind around a team that can’t score 5v5 and is at the bottom of the standings and caring about a comment about an injury. I would say good luck extracting $7 million to buy out the contract from owners who have put the team under financial scrutiny.

Lol. I know losing sucks, but are there no guard rails on the level of criticism people will go to?

You edited your comment after I replied. Why isn’t this simply Ralph not telling people how a player got injured so they don’t know the exact nature of the injury? LBI and UBI became a thing for a reason.

Why do you think what non-negative statements Ralph Krueger says to the media matters to the players? I appreciate the response, but I’m trying to figure out if I’m in the locker room why I’m supposed to care about this.

🙄

I’d still like to hear why this actually matters in any way, shape or form.

You want Jack Eichel to start five minute fighting majors?

Maybe. Maybe the conversation at that time didn’t go into details. 🤷🏻 Ultimately, why does it matter? Bettor’s in Vegas? Sure. There are lots of possible iterations here and I’m not sure any of those iterations provide meaningful insight on anything.

Maybe Jack did not tell him?

Don’t confuse your petulance with the strawman you just built.
