Not a bad choice, as in he is a bad coach, but a risky choice because he has never coached adults or in a pro league. Not ANY Pro league, ever. At a time when the Sabres desperately need people who have experience and know what they are doing, give me the guy who has already shown to be a good NHL coach.

Hey man, we are only human. Getting the hot young thing is fun, until you actually have to live with him! Where’s that nice, dependable, but kind of boring guy when you really need him???

That’s a baaad deal for an average goalie.

I think people would take the job. For Boudreau in particular, it’s close to home. Every coach gets fired, all of them. They have a shelf life. Boudreau has had success with different types of teams. He brought along a young Capitals team that had never won and helped them become a perennial playoff team. Tell me, what team Boudreau has been fired from that went on to greater success? He gets his team to the playoffs every year. Let’s try that a couple times before we worry about whether someone else could do even more. I’m not looking for a guy that’s “exciting”. I’m looking for someone who’s past accomplishments and experiences will garner respect from the team, and who I know is competent.

Looking for a competitive advantage?

Yup, I would not be surprised at all. Who knows, he could be really good for the team. He is very highly regarded and I’ve proposed him as a possible candidate in years past. It just seems like a risky proposition at a time when this team desperately needs something dependable to grasp onto.

Sure. He doesn’t really get me excited, but putting anyone with a clue as a layer between the Pegulas and a decision seems like a good idea.

1) Boudreau 2) Gallant That’s it for me.

Krueger had a half season of sub par results. Then he was out of coaching for several years. He was a big unknown. People are asking for a coach with a history of good results at the NHL level. Not just any guy who has coached an NHL game before. Big difference.

I have nothing against Nate Leaman, and he could turn out to be a great hire and a great NHL coach, but I think it would be a much wiser choice to hire an experienced, proven NHL head coach.

Congrats to Quinner? Quinny? Quinnskie? He’s got to have a fun nickname, right?

He did? Says who? Any evidence? Sorry, I just don’t recall hearing this before.

You think she was trolling her parents, and they just didn’t get it?

He has been bad for 3 years, since 2019. I’m sure if you massage his numbers enough and make them look ok, but he is just plain bad. Not to say that is the Sabres only problem, it’s not, but Hutton has not performed as an adequate backup for a long time.

So are you saying that you think Hutton might be an alright goalie? Compared to 10 years, it’s not.

I actually see some logic in this. It just is kind of crazy, because the Sabres are already staring down the barrel of trading away Staal, Hall, Montour, Reinhart, Risto, Eichel, maybe more. Adding Olofsson to that is just a lot. As I said, I certainly see the logic in it though.

You know, I don’t care who it is on that plane, I say we give them a shot.

NHL teams always tend to be extremely secretive about injuries. I think it goes way back to being afraid that opponents would target players injuries.

He’s still playing the Rochester system. Krueger will get him straightened out.

Definitely need a couple of them, other guys have their place too though.

The info very did not come from the team. You think the team would tweet out that Jack was going to miss the game tonight, then call up Friedman and tell him that Jack might be out a lot longer? Why? It occurs to me that maybe you meant someone inside the team leaking info to Friedman, not the Buffalo Sabres organization deciding they want to tell him. Yeah, it could be that.

SabreSpace is a damn mess right now. Multiple Krueger conspiracy theory threads. Fire Krueger thread. Eichel out thread. Get your ***** together SabreSpace!

Yup. Kim can be President of the company, because she owns it. I don’t think you are questioning the right of an owner to run an organization as President if they want to. Clearly they can do as they please because they own it. Your question is, does Kim Pegula have the professional experience and ability to do a competent job as a President of a large multi-organization company, sports teams specifically? This is a fair question. It should not be dismissed as sexist. Especially in light of the embarrassing state of Sabres in particular, the question is extremely relevant and the job that the President has been doing is questionable at best. Perhaps the “safer” and even more relevant question should be, is Kim Pegula doing a good job as President of the Buffalo Sabres?

The account name is a combination of Ralph’s son’s name and Ralph’s wife’s maiden name. The account has one follower, a football club from Southampton England, where Ralph used to work. The posts from the account are extremely pro-Krueger. Its probably Ralph’s son. I also don’t really care though.

WAG?
