Perspective is important. Buffalo fans: great. But the hard truth about the Buffalo Sabres: the armpit of the NHL for virtually 20 years now. And EVERYONE KNOWS it! It’s the single most disfunctionally run and terrible culture in the NHL of any team... especially since the summer of 07. 4 playoff appearances in 20 years. By sheer accident you can be better by random odds. That takes extra effort to be THAT BAD! If I’m anybody (coaches or players) it would take a lot to come here.

ROR is one heck of a hockey player. That’s all that needs to be said.

There are so many factors in playoff hockey. It’s truly the hardest sport to win a championship.

13 shots through 2 for Tampa. Torts locked that stuff down!

If Columbus holds on that place is going to be vibrating next week.

Absolutely... always loved that guy. He has shut down Tampa and so far Cooper has no answers.

It’s all speculation. I see no reason to rush this.

Think outside of the box JBot! Say no to retreads!

Mike Smith... he was just stupid good

Toronto waxed the Bruins tonight.

I wish we had Torts

He’s certain a big improvement over PH, but I wouldn’t consider him top 10.

Ridiculous... not even a top tier coach

Torts schooled Cooper game 1 last two periods. Tampa had no answers.

Exactly

There is something different about him (Keefe). He’s been successful everywhere. Just a gut sense. I had the same about Gallant. What gets us out of this mess is thinking outside the box. Take a chance. I never felt good about PH. Todd will improve us but he’s not going to take us to the cup. I want better.

I’d like us to interview Sheldon Keefe. To me that is forward thinking. McLellan is just another retread. He’s ok, not terrible, but doesn’t have the “wow” factor.

So who do we take? Turcott or Krebs?

Yup... we were hoping... but to fall 2 is pretty sad

At worst I was hoping 6th... 7th might put us just out of range for the elite players. We won’t get help for next year that’s for sure.

Dang it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

As long as we stay in the top 5, preferably top 3. We should be able to grab a very good center and hope JBot can hit gold on the other puck.

Skinner is likely a goner. If he hasn’t decided by now my guess he’s going to test the waters.

If we end up with something like 75 points again there is no way he survives imo. TM was sent packing for the same thing.

JBot is on thin ice Himself. He fielded two embarrassingly bad teams. Got fleeced by ST. Louis. Left a wide open gap in our center depth. His first coach was a disaster. Not many GM’s survive this. He needs to show serious improvement IN THE STANDINGS next year to continue.
