Its easy. Build a team capable of winning.

Sure , sounds legit. None of this is on Ralph. He’s just the doorman at shift change tripping the players as they step onto the ice. Trying his best to put these guys in positions to succeed.

Is that son of samsons dog ?

😳

Yeah I’ve been getting that msg for the last 10 years. Loud and clear. So have the players on the team and players from around the league. Its surprising anyone would want to play for the most inept owner in the nhl. Terry and Kim are doing their level best to ***** all over this franchise and they still think because they own the team they have some kind of moral high ground over the fans. Kim said so herself. ‘ we know better than the fans ‘ or some such shite. About all we have left is to not support this sadsack owner and his pathetic attempt at winning a stanley cup.

Nice breakdown. Thanks for that. Get outta town Ralph🤮

They’ve already destroyed the brand . Do they really need to be so callous as to drag the corpse through the mud as well. Fire his sorry ass and get people in here that know wtf they are doing.

I think you have to get guys who could step in and help turn this thing around now. Futures are fine but we need players that are on a fast development track or established already. Or both.

As much as I hate them I enjoy the Bruins for their style of play. The toughness that runs through the lineup. I’m not talking about pugilists. I’m talking about team toughness. Lots of skill and they battle for every puck. Like Tampa for much the same reason. Its no coincidence these are the teams that advance in the playoffs when the rough and tumble style of play ramps up. They go to war with and for each other. They also have great leadership that holds each other accountable. I watch the nucks because of their proximity to where I live. They have some great young talent but need to find some consistency.

Hey Happy Birthday Radar ! Enjoy !

I wonder what Ralph has measured his whole career on ? Coaching a winning hockey team ? You’ve got your work cut out for you Ralph. I’m looking for an encouraging sign and mmm not really seeing any.

Yeah he did say in his words teams are not running over each other. Which implies that hitting has eased off in some tangible way. I haven’t seen that at all and I watch a lot of non sabres games since sabres games are pretty much unwatchable.

Ralph. “ I’d appreciate if you boys could get through this game without any hitting . The game has moved past that. Players. “ We’d appreciate that too coach.”

Its in the news feed in one of the articles from this morning. I’d provide a link if I was capable. Lol

I like to call him ‘ not exactly a hockey coach ‘

Ralph apparently doesn’t believe in team toughness or grit. After the 2nd Isles loss this weekend he said the national hockey league isn’t a league where people are running each other over. He obviously hasn’t been watching the level of compete in the other teams in the league and this is the shite he’s been feeding his players as well. I’ve watched multiple games where both teams compete for the puck much like they always have in this league. Nothing has changed in that regard. Huge hits and using huge hits as intimidation are everywhere. Boston/ Washington is one of the recent examples. Ralph has the lowest penalized team in the league and its by design.

This screams spineless. Someone needs to say this system isn’t working. The fans see the results. The players look to be unsure, confused, unable to do the simplest things. What should be second nature at this point for most of these guys becomes a task that makes them second guess themselves. Anyways get a hockey coach in here. Ralph isn’t that.

I have real fears of his impact on our young players. The fact that he’s washed their minds to believe they are playing good hockey even as they lose for the umpteenth time under his watch. Can’t score 5 on 5 but they’re playing the right way. The mans a fraud. Little bit snake oil a little bit Tony Robbins.

This team as its currently constructed is leagues below teams like the Bruins, the Lightening, the Caps , the Isles etc. These teams compete in the regular season like every game is a life and death battle just to sniff the playoffs. Its quite literally like watching a league above the nhl when comparing how this Sabres team competes. The Sabres don’t compete, they quit. They have no grit. They stay to the perimeter like their life depends on it. They rarely battle. They don’t drive to the net. They barely initiate contact. They are the least penalized team in the league. And when the actual playoffs begin the aforementioned teams will actually ramp up their compete to another level above the one the Sabres couldn’t match in the regular season. So no imo a new coach won’t change this team. There needs to be real dramatic change to turn these guys into a competitive team. Someone other than RK will help. But player turnover also has to happen to transform this team.

The “ we’re playing a pretty good game “ shite is the crap Ralph feeds them between periods and before the game. He’s set the bar so low with these guys trying to pump them up. How a gm and the team owners can let this swarmy llama ding ***** anywhere near this team is beyond me. He’s quite literally a fraud. Get rid of him.

Get RK away from our players. Does anyone believe he can coach these guys to victory over the Isles Sunday ? Its over Ralph.

Is he still here ? Oh for gawds sake. maybe keep Ralph around kind of like Betty the powerskating coach. Bring him in occasionally to ‘ motivate ‘. Based on the results he’s clearly good at it.😳

I missed that. Fire Adams immediately. lol. Kind of joking but sorta serious. If I wanted Pegulaspeak from Adams I’d listen to Kim. Fans aren’t stupid Kevin. Yes having capable goaltending helps and this season it is one of our issues.

Before you do anything with this roster you bring in the right person to evaluate these players. Remember. Both Adams and Ralph truly believed that these guys had the character to win. Some of these players have talent /skill. For the most part they lack the intangibles. The character, the grit, the toughness, the playoff experience. Not sure I’d let Adams tackle the job of turning this around. He’s a nice guy but so are a lot of these players.

I watched the Bruins /Caps game tonight. Those teams are in another league. That game was everything the Sabres aren’t. It would take a roster turnover of epic proportions to transform this group into anything resembling those teams. Shrinking violets cannot win against men. This team is done. No playoffs nada zip.
