I forgot Gallant didnt win with the Knights, He lost in the Stanley Cup final my mistake.

Gallant and yes berube is a better coach imo.

This makes no sense, because he doesn't want Lindy Ruff who just got fired from a young team like ours he doesn't want the team to win? There were 2 Stanley Cup winning coaches out there and we pick the worst of those 3. Are you sure you dont want to see the Bills record broken?

It's a triple lindy

I liked Ruff back in the day, thought he was a great HC but he needed to go when he did as i feel he lost the room. He hasn't really been all that great since leaving the Sabres and we picked him over 2 head coaches who actually won a Stanley Cup in Gallant and Berube. So what I'm gathering from the talking heads on the radio is that they don't believe he's a Stanley Cup winning HC but a HC who will come in, demand respect, get the kids up and running and then Seth Appert will take over in 2 years. If he's not a Stanley Cup contending HC why the hell did we bring him in here? Wasn't the goal to not only win 1 Stanley cup but, multiple years? Now the standard is to get tough and maybe make the playoffs? This organization is so trash they have to use nostalgia to bring people in to this arena and this will be all the 50-60 year olds wet dream seeing a former player/HC and now returning HC come back yet again and we'll wait way too long to fire him when he fails because "Buffalo legend".

This game is like watching my son destroy kids on his Xbox in NHL 24.

The Jets team give me hope that we can become that type of team with no real superstar other than Morissey/Hellebuyk and a bunch of solid players.

This Jets/Avs would have been a blast to go to.

Every free agent we acquire should be from a winning organization from here on out. Also if we find out this core has no leadership or fight in them how do we move on from these bloated contracts if true?

It's a bunch of nerds getting together to see who's pocket protector is bigger. I'm sure if you deep dive into this there is some fatal flaw like anything.

I mean most of us knew this which is why we didn’t want Okposo/ Girgensons back. Neither was pushing anyone to be better in anyway and both 4th line players.

I never go by fancy charts, never will. My eyeballs tell me that UPL played excellent hockey for the last portion of the year but like this team when we needed him most (both Detroit games he was average at best) . I also think Levi will be the best goalie in the NHL in 2 years from now and you're already seeing glimpses on the AHL.

Agreed and i would really like gallant but my 1st would be Berube, Gallant would be next. I'd take Brindamour over all of them but that's more of a pipe dream imo.

Granato has said in almost every inteview "they didn't have enough compete", literally after almost every loss where they were terrible in the 1st period. Just so you know I'm not defending Granato at all, he needed to go but this is about the reason Ruff was let go and it was alot of the same as we're talking about here. "Not enough compete", "Accountability" etc. Maybe it's time to get the tough guys that we never get so this wont be a problem, seems like a viable solution eh?

Ok

You stated "What was Ruff supposed to do go fight Lucic", correct? So what was Granato supposed to do with our current roster, go out there and show them how to compete? Line up at LW and try to score goals for them? Can't you say this about any coach?

So the same goes for Granato then right? What don't you get from my last sentence? Ryan Miller was calling out the team in the post game interview after he got ran. All this happened under Ruff's watch. So now because you want Ruff as a HC all the ***** he was let go for didn't happen?

Get Garnett Hathaway here and anyone who gets out of line he punches them in the face several times until they learn.

Didn't Ruff lose the locker room after Lucic destroyed Ryan Miller? Isn't he the same coach to where Miller was calling out people afterwards?

Man, I know times are rough after 13 seasons of no playoffs but I couldn't imagine being a fan and dedicated to something only to have it taken from me, it's got to be a brutal feeling that I hope we as fans never have to feel. He said it perfectly though, can we get this guy as our play by play? He already likes an ex Sabre player.

They parade Shane Doan around every chance they get to remind everyone that they used to be a real NHL franchise now the banner they hung to remind everyone is just another piece of material? Nah, I'm not buying what you're selling and what do the gays have to do with this? Plot twist?

Absolutely nuts and disrespectful to a guy who gave his heart and soul for them.
