Torpedo Forecheck

I have no idea why that was sent to me, as Jack is my favorite player, and I believe he is the "franchise"

I have no idea what your post means, so there you have it, move along

Trying to measure fighting and its impact by using goals for/against in the next five minutes strikes me as almost complete hubris about the ability to measure things. The use of the tactic of being able to define and measure everything is becoming laughable to the point that the misuse is blatantly absurd. The example is about like looking to see the temperature outside and whether it was a good day or not.

Shesterkin is a real riser and stole a couple tonight, Hutton is a real stinker and let in a dud. JMO

The difference in that game was plain and simple- goaltending.

How about Cozens? Eakin and Reider.

Hockey is an emotional game, if a fight breaks out now it's no different than any other sport. It's not like we have side show fights, line brawls and bench clearers now.

I just saw Casey M. is out of the lineup and on loan to the taxi squad. He seems to have improved, surprised by this. Must be he needs a day to off to rest and evaluate himself. BTW, Kyle Okposo must be Iron man, dude never needs a day off even at 33! These 20-21 year olds man, get tired easy.-Ralph Speak

RK_ We paradoxically need to find a pathway to the victorius outcome everyone desires. We have a roomful of guys who wish they were where they used to be when they thought they were where they are now. Just kiddin"

You'd better hope that they LUCK into another McBeane type hire, and they will, because they're the owners and they ain't going nowhere.

People used to say this with the Bills too. They are inexperienced and have made mistakes, that doesn't mean that they can't make a good hire.

You seem to take offense to Sabres critiques. Any special reason? Why do you think so many of their players are underachieving so much this season? You think Krueger is doing the job? What's the reason the last 10 years they've missed the playoffs? Or are all the critiques off base, and you're satisfied? Just curious because like so many have said the biggest problem (coaching) appears pretty obvious to anyone I've talked to who knows hockey. But, by all means enlighten me if you think Kreuger isn't the biggest problem.

I think others have adequately answered before I read this.

I don't know what he is, and I wonder how he got the job in the first place. All I know from my 50+ years of playing and coaching hockey, is that what this team is trying to execute(if this his philosophy-and I have no reason to believe it's not) it will not work! It doesn't work anywhere, anytime in hockey. And, his BS is wearing thin with players too I believe. At first guys with a good line like he has sound good, refreshing. And then, when no success follows, players realize why should this guy have any credibility?

What a bleeping mess...that is all

I'm afraid that would be the final humiliation. We'll start a fight and end up with our guy leaking all over the ice. But, yeah I'd like to see someone get at least a little pissed.

...shouldn't be playing at

Why are Okposo and Staal, 2 of the slowest players in hockey, playing with Hall-one of the fastest?

Yeah I was wondering about that myself? which one?

Cozens out for injury, or is RK just trying to keep "young" legs Okposo in the lineup? Knowing Ralph he's probably disappointed in Cozens play so far, doesn't get his system! Fire Krueger please! he'll ruin him too.

I don't know about pessimism, you've got us scoring twice.😝

Jeff Skinner is broken completely. No he is not playing well. That still doesn't let Krueger off the hook, he was given a finisher of proven NHL ability. Now look where he is.

"we were on the right track until Covid hit us!"

Without a doubt, you need goalies who make a difference once in awhile. This guy is just a sieve.

The Ralph era is heading the way of the Rex Ryan era. Pegula's got bamboozled by a guy with a good line of BS. Let's hope they learn and get a real NHL guy in. What else can we do? The rest of the season you are going to see guys out there giving a half-assed effort when they're completely out of it. Just like the Rex ending with his defense laying down for the opponents. This is going to require a virtual redo from top to bottom, and a winning culture built-just like the Rex era. Sad
