Alamo mode is back!

Yikes https://eprinkside.com/2024/04/22/arrival-of-lindy-ruff-only-raises-more-questions-than-answers-for-buffalo-sabres This is so on point it hurts.

https://theathletic.com/5367202/2024/04/23/macklin-celebrini-nhl-draft-connor-mcdavid/ They asked 6 scouts to rank the last 10 drafts first overall picks and then slot in Celebrini. He slotted in 5th behind the following players: 1. McDavid 2. Bedard 3. Matthews 4. Jack Hughes 5. Celebrini Personally, I think Celebrini could be better than Hughes. That said the next two first overalls are Dahlin and Power.

No, I am specifically talking about skaters. Adams needs to add veterans that make this impossible.

Tage on the PK tells you that Adams failed at roster construction. A key component for a 3rd line player is that you can use them on the PK or PP just like a key component to making the 53 man roster is being useful on special teams. Same concept but Adams decided to build a roster that didn't make any sense and this was the result. He needs to grow up quick because the only excuses left are incompetence.

Okay, I smiled while watching this. I've said my piece why I am concerned with bringing him back but all ahead full now.

I disagree. Buffalo has a talent problem as well as a heart problem.

Not to mention those are minutes that you now do not have to give your high scoring forward at even strength and on the powerplay because Tage is tired.

Let's think about the wingers we have. Benson, Tuch, JJP, Quinn, Greenway, Skinner. Are any of them worse than Olofsson? The answer is no and that fills out the top 9 wing slots. You need an upgrade for VO, someone that makes it easier to bench anyone of Skinner, JJP, Quinn, Greenway, or Tuch. Don't ever bench Benson, he is a pitbull.

If you want to make the playoffs, the Sabres can't have Olofsson on their team. He has been surpassed by JJP, Benson, Greenway, and I would bet Savoie. They need a veteran player in that spot who brings a lot more grit.

BTW, I do hope Ruff succeeds. You know how cool it would be after 13 years of pointless stupidity to have Lindy Ruff come in and get us not only back in the playoffs but to have us win a round or two? That would be epic. I am going to tell my kids this is Lindy Ruff.

just google wgr550 or if I am around I will post the twitter link

If any rookie prospects make the nhl roster, Adams failed this offseason.

His reintroduction as hc will have a press conference at 1pm.

Mofo is 6'7" 190lbs. There's a 6th round flier type of pick.

So Adams is in cover his ass mode.

... either you don't know what an analogy is or .... no that's the only explanation. Comparing the Bills to the Sabres is folly. The nfl can change on a dime if you get a good QB. I mean yes, I also UPL turns into the literal greatest goalie to ever play in the NHL.

I don't wanna speak for him, but he was not a fan of Ruff coming back. I hope he pops by though.

Mike Weber for coach.
