Crunch outshooting Amerks 17-3 after 12 minutes. 🤯
-
Not looking good at all. The Crunch had more possession of the puck than the Amerks who were on the power play.

It would suck if the Sabres pulled the trigger too early on Lindy, and Rod ends up in Toronto.
If either party was interested which it doesn’t seem like it

Say we waited for Rod and the Canes go very deep into the playoffs. Meanwhile Ruff and several other prime candidates get scooped up. Then at the last second Brind'amour resigns with Carolina. How do you envision we blame Adams for botching the coaching search?
I honestly didn’t really care who they got to coach as long as it wasn’t a noob. These guys can all do the job, who knows who is actually the right fit. I just don’t want all access points I have to the interwebs to be flooded with Rod the Bod nonsense.

Sometimes less money and less stress is a lot better then more and more. What good does the extra money do if you are hating life and stressed to the core and cannot enjoy it. I have been a recruiter/Manager since 2002. I have had crap jobs where i had to take a second job and i have made great money where i am miserable always wondering if i was going to still be there the next year. It is hard to find that job that you love that pays great and i have been lucky to find that happy medium a couple of times, which includes my 21 years in the Navy. I hope you find that going back to your old job and the stress is not too bad. The recruiter part of me totally understands the actual needs of every person that i interview. I always tell my candidates that money is not worth it if you cannot enjoy the life to spend it.
I got debt coming out of my eyeballs. Once I get past that, I can reassess where I’m at. I also think I can reduce the stress of my old job. I have a different perspective and a lot more resources than I was used to.

Why work yourself up like this over speculation? You and I have no idea who KA talked to. Nor do I really care either, we got the right man for the job IMO.
One would assume he’s doesn’t share your opinion in the last sentence.

I dont think you should speak for an entire region and i would argue they mostly want to see a winning team look back at the 05-06 team, not exactly the broad street bullies but they are the most revered team in franchise history.
Was Gilbert Perreault a blue collar player? Lafointaine or Mogliny ?
Everyone loves superstars but Buffalo has always identified with a blue collar style. It’s doesn’t take much to do what the entire rest of the league does.

I’m with you on the gist of your post.
Its just the Dahlin oversight that bugs me. People who don’t watch him think he’s some kind of Lady Byng candidate and knock him down the list accordingly.
The fact if the matter is he gives you an element the other top offensive defencemen don’t.
I like the physical stuff he does. Sometimes sneaky dirty. More if it would be nice. Maybe Lindy will encourage it.

Sorry I have to do this, but this just perpetuates the annoying myth Dahlin is Inge Hammarstrom.
How many people know Dahlin was 16th in the entire league in hits by defencemen last year?
26th in penalty minutes?
3rd in penalties drawn?
He’s involved in every aspect of the game, mixing it up and getting under people’s skin on a regular basis, and it seems like people just refuse to notice.
He plays physical. I’ll give you that. I want open ice hits. ***** even some dirty ones into the boards. If we are going to have Byram, Joki, Power and Johnson all on the team along with Dahlin and Samuelsson mixing Clifton in, that is one soft D. At least move out Joki for someone way more physical than what we have. Or a blockbuster trade involving Power. That could solve it instantly. Get someone physical up front via trade. Sign some Neanderthal that decks people to fill out the D core.

IF he became available and actually wanted to come here then you just bump Lindy upstairs where he will be in a couple years anyways.
I’ll die a thousands deaths before anything like this ever happens.

I swear to god if this dude hits the open market and we saddled ourselves with coach of Christmas past, I’m going to have to leave the internet. This place, Twitter and any other god forsaken place will be unbearable.

I think you're underselling him.
In limited minutes at the NHL level, he's looked competent and composed. He makes the smart play. For all the hotdogging by Dahlin and the other top guys, we need good, no-nonsense Dmen to keep them out of trouble, and Johnson is one.
Love the hotdogging use. I have no problem with Ryan Johnson. The problem is they have 4 of him that are as good or better. They need someone that’ll belt ya. I don’t know if I’ve ever seen an NHL d-core so averse to hitting. Ok Clifton might stick ya and Samuelsson uses his body (to his own detriment) but the rest could care less if they touch another human when the play the game of hockey. I want my Dmen to thirst for that open ice hit. Waiting at the blue line to knock someone into next week.
Instead we got 7 guys that want to dance and play twister. It’s disgraceful and not what blue collar fans from WNY want to see. How hard is it for anyone involved in the organization to recognize this and make amends?

One can hope that Komarov keeps developing and maybe he is ready to step in around the time Clifton's contract ends. He has the size potential you want but still has to add strength and muscle to that frame (like most kids). Time will tell. I suspect he will need a good couple years in Rochester at least though.
Novikov is already what we hope Komorov becomes at least defensively. I don’t know how offensive defenseman from the Q translate offensively. Their defensive play is questionable at best. It’s good to see another prospect doing well though.

No chance but they’d still need to double my PTO. Commute is still 5x as far.

I’ve heard there may be a correlation. What’s the old saying correlation does not necessarily mean Caucasian. Or something like that…😎

It's pretty funny. Companies don't give a crap about you when it's time to let you go and give you exactly 0 days notice most of the time yet they expect their employees to bend over backwards and "do the right thing" by giving them 2 weeks.
Which some places will decline and promptly tell you to leave, essentially leaving you 2 weeks with no income.
So why exactly is this still a rule?
What's good for the goose is good for the gander. Maybe if people stopped allowing this nonsense to go on and just called them up and told them they aren't coming in and they quit they would think a little more about doing the same thing to employees.
As it is they can play by whatever rules they choose but he employees are suppose to play tiddlywinks with them because it's "unprofessional" not to. Well, I think it's unprofessional when a company calls in employees that have worked there 25 years and sh!t cans them on the spot with no notice so they can pay the CEO more and upper management more bonuses.
As always, they want their cake while they eat it too.
Thank goodness more people are looking out for themselves first nowadays just like it always should have been.
I wanted to give a much longer notice but I had to wait for the results for my drug screening to come back to put it my notice. 🤣 I also had to push out my start date for the same reason as I needed to get clean. It worked. I feel terrible as I’ve really hit my stride here and like the job overall.
I just need to take care of my family. Clear up some debt and start banking some $$$ so we don’t live paycheck to paycheck.

And why should the employee trust the company is going to allow them to continue working there for 2 weeks and not tell them to pack their stuff and leave?
The company wants the employee to think they act in employee's best interest when it's always the case they act in their own best interest.
I’m praying this happens. I could desperately use a two week vacation. I have 100 hours of PTO they owe me so I’ll make more than when I actually work. 🤣

Do you attend Sabres home games against the Leafs? I hate the Bruins and Flyers so much more than the Leafs. I might even dislike the Sens more than the Leafs. The Sabres kicked their ass for over a decade. I just don’t really care about them.
Now if I attended games where it’s the majority of fans are from the great white north, I may have a different opinion.
