Its getting heated in here. The Lions losing pissed you all off too? I here ya.

I'd just prefer something non nostalgic for a choice, no former Sabres, no former Sabre Coaches from the past, just a HC who's been there and done that already, there are 2 now that are jobless and I'd take either 1 of them.

My point is I want better than him, using us not making the playoffs in 13 seasons isn't a good argument imo.

I'm not being sarcastic, I want a better HC than Lindy Ruff.

Man this Greenway-Middlestadt-Tuch line is dominant.

Great work by the entire line there, Middlestadt was great along the boards, Tuch with the sweet pass and Greenway with a solid goal there.

well there is some good and bad to that goal... The good thing is we were finally standing in front of the goalie, the bad thing was it was our own goalie we were standing in front of.

Thompson falls down like a sack of potatoes yet again.

What does this tell?

I would definitely not want him back, he has only made the playoffs 3 times in 7 seasons after leaving the Sabres and has not advanced passed the 2nd round. No thank you!

Better: Dylan Cozens... I know he's everyones whipping boy right now but I love the toughness and I think he'll find his scoring groove again. Worse: Owen Power... I know he's still very young, last year he looked decent but something I've never really liked about his game, he's soft, I don't think I've seen him even throw a check before, he doesn't stand up for teammates and his defensive game has alot to be desired, things can definitely turn around for him but those are alot of qualities to just pick up over time imo.

The moment last season where Adams opted for development over playoffs (Which to me was the trade deadline), I immediately wanted a new GM. I think getting the to the playoffs would have been a huge boost of confidence and took the monkey off their back and didn't have to go into this season thinking about playoffs or bust, they would have already known what it takes to get there imo.

I don't think i could watch another year of this, I'm barely holding on as it is.

At least Peterka came to play this season, he's been fun to watch!

I wonder what it's like to have a Kopitar and Doughty on the team all those years.

I dont see any player on this team I wouldnt deal to be honest.

We're about to find out.

The scary thing is wont Matt Ellis be our interim HC? My god I don't know if I could stand to look at that smug face destroying our young prospects while we wait for something better. The thought is scary! LOL

Iagree those players you mention should get moved but they would garner next to nothing. If you and I know that Jokiharju is a healthy scratch then you can bet any team in the league would also know this to before aquiring him. I'm fine trading them but your probably getting a bunch of 7th round picks back. Middlestadt is our only piece we have to get a top 4 D from our roster (That we're probably willoing to part with) but like others have stated I doubt we make any significant move. This team is a dumpster fire unfortunately and we can't even make legit moves to help because none of them know how to play hockey anymore apparently.

These GMs we get all seem to have the same mindset. Small, skilled forwards with hockey sense. Disregarding any toughness, guys who will stand in front of the net or play a solid 2 way game. I mean look at the guys we have coming up, all are 5’10” or below and every 1 of them aside from Kulich bring the exact traits I was talking about. You need balance throughout and players willing to do that. I find it hard to believe these guys all just suck all of a sudden but they don’t have any idea how to play a solid 2 way game and a HC apporhat doesn’t know how to either.

Typical Sabres team, they only fight when the game is out of reach.

Will we ever see playoff hockey again?

I'll try again, omg Krebs out there down by 1? This guy is worse than Krueger.

Need 2 goals and Okposo/Girgensons out there, Granato may be worse than Krueger this year. I almost can't stand to watch this team anymore.
