Torpedo Forecheck

Ralph dialing up a tying goal by Olofsson. What a wizard!

Take a look at the Florida roster sometime and compare it to the Sabres and ask yourself if the difference in the standings should be what it is? Hint: It ain't

I think credibility with the next hire is hugely important. When things aren't going well and adversity hits. We want the players saying to themselves" he's been through this before, he know's what he's doing, we'll come out of it, if we stick with the program". Ask yourself these questions for Ralph?

They will lose many fans

Not only the fourth line, but that second line looks dreadful too, no 5-5 scoring from 2 lines for sure.

Jut checking in, nothing....nothing...nothing...yet?

I disagree with him not wanting to come here as someone implied above. There are only 31 NHL jobs and he is 66 yrs. old meaning there are fewer than that available to him. The location has to be appealing as well. I also wonder if the team doesn't look as bad as many on here think. He may look at it as If I can get enough say I can turn that club around pretty quick.

Sounds like a shortsighted view! Ever hear of sunk costs Terry and Kim? Keep hurting the program the rest of the year that will help down the road (sarcasm)

We were not the better team last night, just for starters Philly out shot attempted us 78-38

Do you believe they all just decided to have bad years, or they not as good as we need, or perhaps the system we play has any impact?

So if our backup goaltending was better everything would be alright? Ralph included?

If you haven't seen Staal's statistics don't look. 7 blocks and 9 hits in 24 games (15+min game), playing to a MINUS 14, 55% OZS.

Nothing against the 2 guys in the shootout, but WTF is Reinhart?

Nice response

He really should be much further along at this point- my god!

WTF was Dahlin doing

No Kim?

What you didn't like the Skinner usage?

We finally have that mix Ralph has been talkin about

The Pegulas would be prove to very bad owners if they keep this guy around all season. BAD!!

Ralph's 7 million is sunk cost, get rid of him and stop allowing the program to be destructive. We come out ahead in the end.

Personally, though unpopular, I'd like both, but playing in a system that they can thrive in. They are both very good hockey players.

This is another good reason to bring one of the experienced coaching guys we talk about sooner rather than later. Just in case there is a glimmer of a turn around in the organization and any chance to keep some valuable assets like Reinhart

probably right

All I hope is she knows something and we can end this Krueger thing now.
