  1. Krueger was that bad, all DG had to do was take the shackles off the team. He deserves credit for that.
  2. Saw the conclusion, I must be good luck, pretty ballsy comeback from 2 goals twice. Nice effort by Skins. Hell we even support each other now when it gets physical. Linus is a franchise guy, sign em up.
  3. Gave up bothering with arguing with the analytics crowd a long time ago, and in general I'm a numbers guy. If you've got something worthwhile let me know and I'll use it because I want to win. The luck argument (and other concepts) get taken way to far IMO. What do you do with it?.....Oh we've been lucky now we're gonna lose some. Or we've been unlucky and we're better than our record and we will win when its our time....which of course runs the risk of becoming excuse making. Please don't act like biases people have with their eyes are so limited as to mean nothing. And, please don't act like the numbers capture everything we need to know, and give the missing not measured variables some credit too.
  4. They looked especially good in transition. Forced a couple turnovers just inside the blueline and puck was in the net a split second later. Nice to see as opposed to Ralph's system of being patient and letting the ***** game come to you. SMDH
  5. Saw the game tonight and came away feeling like these guys play for DG and they couldn't/wouldn't for RK. I said at the time they were the worst coached NHL team I've ever seen (including Smith). I am more convinced than ever that Ralph sucked and we'd have been respectable this year with decent coaching. What a waste and a shame. Go Casey, Rasmusses etc.
  6. Trying to drive the value of Eichel down and get him for less is what I would presume is going on. Last year when people were saying he was amongst the very best players in the world did we ever hear about character concerns? .....NO
  7. Another solid performance, not good enough, but DG has got them up on their toes and playing an improved all around game. I don't love our options 3-3 right now. We match up poorly with a team that has really high end players. Bottom line is our better players are not good in that type of situation.
  8. Good to see the streak end. Glad Casey scored (anyone still think we let him go in expansion draft for Borgen?). Ullmark makes a difference for sure. Ralph being gone makes up 90% of the difference the last 3 games. The "rope a dope-be patient" philosophy is gone and we are playing with some tempo (which we always should have been). Many of the guys look better and more comfortable. Jeff is a little ball of hate out there again! Makes me wonder what we could do with a healthy Jack and Cozens. Taylor Hall? man you're a mess out there.
  9. Everything about Ralph was "patience", that just doesn't fly in hockey 100%. Yes there may be a time for it, but a much more important cultural aspect is lost by playing without any initiative.
  10. No interest. I feel like another defenseman who he is small, weak and can't defend is not what we need.
  11. Just turned game on and I can't believe the ending. We blew a 3-0 lead. Hall was on the wrong side of the puck in OT.
  12. I take a 2nd and a first next year or 2 seconds and a decent prospect. If we got Debrusk and a 1 offered, I don't believe it will happen, don't hang up the phone.
  13. Come on guys let's seal the deal and end this streak!
  14. Something feels different (Linus Ullmark) today! I also think that it's not just how he plays, but a psychological aspect is also at play. The team has a goalie playing that they know will do his part. I like our chances today believe it or not. I also loved the 3 keys to the game Granato mentioned -don't watch, don't play safe, don't give up the line. All aggressive habits that were never in play when Ralph was here.
  15. Eight Candidates for the Sabres Eventual Top 3 selection in the 2021 Draft - Die By The Blade God I love Matty Beniers. Watch his video, just a dog on the puck in the middle of ice, and fabulous phone booth puck control and quickness. Ralph is gone so his patience approach won't ruin dis guy, let's hire someone who appreciates his style now and draft him.
  16. Nothing not to like here. The player was slow, uninspiring and didn't appear to have any interest in being here from the beginning. He has no future here and we got a couple picks. All good.
  17. It is starting to look like that is the only chance you escape this mess
  18. He's toast mentally, no confidence whatsoever. That is where it all starts, poor development by the organization.
  19. Is Cody Eakin a passenger on the Crazy Train or what? Guy just plays like crap and does nothing every game, but escapes the wrath
