  4. Oh Captain My Captain: Former Sabres weigh in on this disaster

    You continue to blame Jack for the C on his back and the amount of money he makes.

    You missed my point completely...

    I don’t begrudge any athlete to make the most of their talents! It’s entertainment and they are making their bosses money or they couldn’t  make these kinds of salaries. I don’t hold the C on his jersey against him either. What I have utter contempt about Jack Eichel the player is; his complete lack of leadership skills, his lack of hustle, his rich boy whining punk ass attitude, his gliding to the bench, his half ass back checking and his overall  lack of blue collar bring your lunch bucket to work attitude! Let me be more clear. On an scale of 1 to 10: 10 being Sid and Jack is a 2. 
    If KA had some sack he would fire RK and strip the C off Eichel’s jersey at freaking center ice prior to a game so this pouting  little brat gets the message loud and clear. There are no givens in life, you earn what you get now get to work!

    Clear?

    As owner of a construction company its doubtful the worker you describe would be made a foreman or given any other position of authority or higher profile designation. ( unless he's married to your daughter) Its also doubtful he would even have a job for very long.

    So who's fault is it? My answer is whomever is coaching and above them managing the company/organization.

    It starts at the top...

    My point exactly! I have had talented carpenters who are worthless employees and no they aren’t married to my daughter and no they did not last 6 months let alone 4 years.

    Somewhere down the line having fun playing the game of hockey got lost in the shuffle.

    So as captain do you laugh or cry when your starting goalie is so pathetic the opposition smiles with glee at just the thought of facing him. As captain do you scream profanities at fellow teammates because someone did a bad job getting the proper player personnel into the building before the season started. As captain how do you help a team gain confidence when you have none.

    Buffalo Sabre's are a different hockey team with Ullmark in net. There is no substitute for good goaltending in my humble opinion.

     

    Eichel’s history as a pouter goes back to his USNTDP days. Just because your the highest paid player doesn’t mean your captain material. When Ullmark was in net Jack still played the same, scored as much, excuse me none, and still pouts and whines and glides to the bench. I think in the coming months there are some very very hard decisions to make on coaching, management and players. Everyone in the league knows this is gonna be a dumpster fire. A good GM still has an opportunity to get the most return for these turds! 
    I own a Construction company. Highly skilled carpenters are hard to find but do I keep a guy that I know clocks in late, leaves early, takes a long lunch and steals from me. Especially when he is the highest paid guy on the job site. Hell no because then everybody else will be robbing me blind too. At $11M I would have a problem with this employee!

    As a captain you give 110% on and off the ice! Period. This turd glides form center ice on line changes and roles his eyes more than bozo the clown

    With how well the Bills are being run now with Beane and McDermott and how fast they have turned around, how is it they struggle so badly in doing the same thing with the Sabres?

    I read a piece that quoted Beane and McDermott saying the number one priority in assembling the team is we look for Character People first! 
    As much as RK should be held to the fire, less so KA, the players are to blame for this fiasco! Did the piece with quotes from the Rangers MSG analyst not hit home! To me Eichel is the worse Captain in Sabres History. He needs to go now while we can still cash in on him and not let it get to the RO situation where we get fleeced.

    Someone start a poll ranking the past Captains please!

    Nice work.

    The lack of authority with which he is moving and protecting the puck (feeding the high number of turnovers) are the in-game manifestations, but the most troubling thing is the body language.

    The number of times he projects '(deep sigh), what's the point' on a turnover, a rush, a puck battle, a backcheck, or even skating to the bench tells me his mindset has approached Sabrespace levels of fatigue.

    Have you seen this dramatization of Jack's career?

     

    I so agree ! Eichel has to be THE WORSE SABRES LEADER EVER. McCabe now there is a Player who can lead and be wearing the C

  12. The First Round Pick misses have set us back

    in The Aud Club

    The Sabres do no worse than any other NHL team. The under lying problem is the draft itself. I believe the over all failure rate of NHL draft picks is 81% over a ten year span. The draft age is the culprit. The NHL draft is 18 yrs old. The scouts are trying to find the next McDavid at 14 yrs old. If a kid hasn’t developed by 16 it’s pretty much over for him in the scouts eyes. This has been discussed in depth but for the failure rate in the draft to drop the draft age needs to be 20! This would have such a huge ripple effect in hockey all the way down to peewees. Why doesn’t the NHL do it like football and basketball. Let the boys decide when they are ready to enter the draft like at the end of their college career. Image drafting a 23 yr Casey Mittlestat....hmmmm.

  13. Jason Botterill Needs To Go?

    You can read right? YOUNG defensive core. Defensemen don’t come into there own in the nhl until they 24 or so. Risto is having one of his best years. 
     

    JBOT will no doubt stay and have his contract extended unless the bottom completely fails out and I don’t see that happen.

    How are the Rochester Americans doing? Very well! We have Captain for years to come. Our defensive core is very young group that is set for the future. We have our two goalies for the future( sorry not you Carter!). Defense wins Championships! 
    JBOT most definitely stays!  Go Bills. ( another team with a very good defense)

  18. Stafford needs to go

    in The Aud Club

    Its hard to believe the potential in Stafford that has been wasted, in our eyes. In his he made it big time with the contracts($$$). When he was at Shattucks he finished second on the team to Crosby in pts with 116 in 65 games. He had a very respectable college career, he has size, speed, skating ability, shot and hockey knowledge. I can understand what the Sabres staff sees in him. Due to his age they are probably unwilling to give up on him but for ^%$%^$ sakes this guy just doesn't have the drive or the passion. I hope at the end of Pegula's first year in control he takes management in for a round table discussion and straightens this ship out. Growing up in Buffalo i can say that playing without hard work and passion are not appreciated nor desired here.

     

    I will add strenght to my last post. He's the strongest guy on the Sabres bench pressing in excess on 400lbs. All the talents and no desire what a waste this kid is!
