We have actual video of one Ralph's team meetings......

Alas, you have me cornered good sir. I confess, I have used the Autocorrect to mask my 50+ year old crumbling memory. But, Tanya Hasselhoff I assure you sir was not one of those excuses. Isn't that right Kit?

Dam auto spell correct lol

Your right. The player should give all of the money to me, the passion shall return, the coach will keep his job, and I will get a new side by side, all is right with the world 😉

I would like those that follow this line to understand, I'm not stating with any solid state evidence he is, but on anecdotal evidence based on several critically important factors. Adams silence, Krueger's actions, the owners benign statements, the players frustrations, the lack of communication between coach and GM (see Jeff Skinners agent contacts Adams, Adams does not inform Krueger, said communication was directly on Krueger's decision on agents player), the lack of movement to address glaring need on the roster, the murmured dissatisfaction the team franchise player, Jack Eichel, has with the teams current trajectory, and the list grows from here. It is a very real question, and yes, I concur, can be construed as provocative. However, the question lay on the table, none the less. So, what say you all?

50 + year Sabres fans such as myself would love to, so, by all means, do tell.

Question: Who can you have an approval rating, or, conversely, a disproval rating for that matter, when your merely a figure head and your coach and owner are calling all the shots? Serious question.

So, we now have growing circumstantial evidence (both the Krueger and Skinner interviews today) that indeed, there is a rift on player personnel decisions, at least, between 1 player and Krueger. Yes, I understand it's merely "reading tea leaves", but, if you watched that Skinner interview, when combined with the complete obtuse denial type attitude by Krueger, and there can be little doubt there is serious friction. With that, once again, humbled opinion, yet widely shared I am sure, opening salvo, when one reviews the entirety of the product on the ice under Krueger's tenure in conjunction with the personnel information bubbling to the surface, there is, again, in my most humbled opinion, only 1 recourse of action. Fire the Prick, ASAP!

He probably does know more about hockey than Kueger does, if Krueger's personnel decisions and on ice strategies are indication to date.

You could just tell the answer to the first question is yes and the answer to 5he second question is no. While I do try and refrain from bashing the coach, I'm at the point now that during games I find my wife looking bemused at me as I pace the floor mumbling "where's my Louisville Slugger at hone?" or "I need Tanya Hastings number"......

Ralph Krueger addresses Jeff Skinner at the arena af5er the game last night....

Sabres meetings ?

Solid F Not addressing the goaltending situation supersedes anything else he's done to date imo.

Re-hashes what we fans discuss daily. Passion, love of the game, frustration, disappointment, lack of progress, vanishing accountability and, in my humbled opinion, incompetent ownership/management decision making. I sum up these collectively in one term, "Organizational/Team Culture". It all starts from the top. Leaders lead, by example. I miss the days of Chris Drury, putting up a poster of Lord Stanley's Cup, giving purpose, giving the organization/team a goal, an achievement to obtain, then backing up that vision with his on ice play. Leaders lead, and that was leadership.

We could cut the head off a dog toy chicken, dam thing irritates the hell out of me at 2 in the morning anyways.

I don't blame Hutton for that OT goal. If our coach would use some pressure play strategies, Zacha doesn't get to the dot to take that shot.

nice shot though.

I still think this is where we are at.

They just don't win many defensive zone puck battles, for whatever reason, size, stick positioning, decision making, I don't know, but they don't win many.

Hall made that goal happen with that nice pass.

Nice.

Don't like everyone standing around on the PP. They need to cycle, move their feet, force the D to move.

Tight game. Hall didn't help with that high stick trying to throw wood off his back. And to think, Wood was available last season was it? To bad there are no visionaries in the Sabres management offices.

just bad luck on that one

The MASH tent is getting full here in Buffalo.
