SABRES 0311

I think the biggest impact will be readiness. The Sabres seem to need half the first period before they settle into their game. Maybe that’s why they got outscored so bad in the first. Team defense is another area Ruff will noticeably improve. To send that point home, ice time may be lost if you don’t put out in your own end. I don’t see this as a good thing if my name is Jeff Skinner.

Agreed. KA needs to finally get the coaching staff something better to work with.

No big reaction from me until I see who the assistants are. Even then I probably won’t react much until end of November. Ruff has way more experience and success than the last three coaches. On paper he’s an upgrade IMO.

I’m just not going to get worked up in April when we won’t see what happens until October. I’ll probably have some reaction when I see who the assistants are and what rosters moves are made.

Relax, try decaf, have patience.

Either Keven Adams hired a new social media influencer or you are really passionate about Lindy Ruff. 😂

McKee and Peca would be a pipe dream. I’ll settle for Ellis and this new guy Don Granato.

Just now seeing this and not reading 13 pages to see if assistants were discussed. So, who do we think Lindy picks? Do we think any players will have a notable positive/negative reaction to Lindy’s style? What might Lindy’s focus be for improving team play?

Right now I say UPL is generally better in that he is more developed. Raw talent goes to Levi.

Yeah I really don’t know how to interpret that. If this current team was in place of the Leafs, we’d incur some injuries.

Maple Leafs are getting ragdolled in their own end. I’ve never seen a softer playoff team.

Toronto’s defense getting exposed is funny. Somehow they haven’t figured out you need more than offense. I feel their pain. 😂

VO and Jost are two I think are gone.
