Well let's look at what was "sold" to the fans. Stanley cup winning coach from a top organization: Dan Bylsma Legendary player from the Sabres past: Phil Housley Was ready to pay $5MM/yr for a coaching legend: Mike Babcock Did anyone complain those were cheap-out bad hires? How did they work out? So the Sabres seem to have already gone that route and failed miserably. So now we have a coach that was already in the system who suddenly gets players no other coach could do crap with to play like their draft position. Oh but "he's a nobody. None of this is real. It doesn't mean anything." yadda yadda yadda. The most Buffalo thing would be for us to get rid of Mitts, Tage, Asplund and Bryson, players you have such contempt for, and watch them succeed elsewhere. All because we have to hire a "big name coach who knows how to win." Who oddly enough find themselves unemployed at the moment. One guy even goes on Canadian media to trash talk the team while letting everyone know he'd like to coach here. Ooooh! Hang a banner!

Question: who built the post-lockout team that went to the conference finals? We need to hire a big name for a huge amount of money and then sign a bunch of expensive free agent underachievers.

Just please not Boudreau. We'll be firing him midway 2023.

Coach hiring

A free goal handed to Pittsburg the difference. Samson whiffs to tie. Hauser played great

Dumb pass Skinner

Another weak call.

Great save Legace

This team is still bad in their end.

Bjork with an assist. That didn't need to happen.

Wow. I'm a good 90 seconds behind.

Falling Penguin = tripping call.

Same here..

So this is a game the Pens need if they want to lock up top seed, if that really means anything this year.

He'll be invited to camp.

All this reminds me of my asking my wife what she'd like for dinner. Says she doesn't know, has me pick, then tells me she hates it.

And then what? Sell to the next benevolent billionaire who wants to spend lavishly on a small market team just to make its long suffering fans happy?

So you knew that Hauser would lose eventually. Amazing. Do you have any stock tips perhaps?

They disowned him after tonight.

Do you think Cozens should take a stint in the AHL?

Maybe Hauser isn't running on andreniline anymore.

When did they bring back Tyler Myers?

What a BS tripping call on R2.

Relegated to the AHL.

I think Rob Ray is hilarious. I think Rick needs to retire. I really wish they would separate TV and radio calls because a radio call needs to be more descriptive than TV does. I also predict no one following Rick will be liked because they aren't Rick.
