    LOL “brings it to the coaching”

    St. Louis is a coaching experiment being that he’s a first timer walking in with no coaching experience. I am not envious of their bench.  
     

    Also, no one who could speak French and was qualified wanted the job. 
    I am not saying it can’t work out, but plucking a fiery former player is not a good coach hiring strategy.  

    Also … (not talking about St. Louis) For some, yelling, screaming, calling out their own players in public, and throwing things = good coach.

    JJP is dreamy.

    My confidence in him is growing by the game. 

    He is still only a fraction of what he's going to become. 

    I'm most excited about him right now than anyone in the organization. 

    Although I disagree with “a fraction”  … I’m right there with you. 👍🏼
     

     


     



     

    Although on further reflection .. 2/3 is a fraction 😂 🤔

    Honest question for everyone.  Does it matter that DG has never been a part of an NHL team that has made the playoffs?  And hasn’t been part of professional playoffs since 2003?  He may be a good developmental guy, but do we want him to try and take this club to the next level when he doesn’t really know what that looks like?  If the answer is no, then why let this mismanagement continue for the rest of season?  Who would replace him in the middle of the season, who knows.  IMHO his trying to move this team any further is detrimental to the collective.

    It doesn’t bother me at all. Many coaches had a resume that didn’t include the playoffs, until they made it.   Granted as I see it, as of this moment in time, he still has time to get this team heading in a playoff direction.

    By “willing to wait” I mean how much longer do you give the organization to put a playoff contending team on the ice before you say “this strategy isn’t working, some significant changes are needed”? 
     

    After 50+ years of fandom and frustration, I too let the losses roll off my back pretty quickly.

    I think all most of us are really looking for is progress and unfortunately it’s not evident yet this season. To me anyway.

    Go Sabres!

    I look at it this way… Nothing is working… Until it works. 😂

    A team is never set. A team is always interchanging players every off-season and often during the season. So what you may describe as “significant changes“ might be a different definition for another fan. Swapping out one player for another player, to me isn’t significant change. Swapping out a head coach for another head coach, to me isn’t significant change. Changing out nearly half the roster like they did in 2018, 2019, 2020. That to me is significant change. again everyone has a different definition of what significant change means to them.

    I admire your optimism. I really do. But how long are you personally willing to wait for the young team to not be young anymore? Honest question.

    I am stating why the inconsistency between them looking good one game, and looking terrible another game. That’s all I was stating.

    And you asked me about how long I am willing to wait? What do you mean by that question?

    willing to wait? as in there is a time where I’m no longer willing to wait? As in there’s a time that I’m no longer going to wait and will not like the Sabres anymore? What do you mean by… willing to wait?

    and lastly… It’s not that I look optimistic… It’s that I don’t let a sport get me so absolutely furious where I’m on the verge of having a brain aneurysm. It’s just not worth it to me. So I tend to have the losses roll off my back most nights. Not every night. And I tend to be happy with the wins, but not get too fantasyland high with wins either.

    I hope that sort of answers it 👍🏼

    The arena will sell out on the regular when it's worth selling out for. It was always sold out during the Lindy years and the season ticket waiting list was obnoxiously long.

    The economy is fine here relatively speaking. All one has to do is look at the home record over the past 10 years to understand why home attendance is lacking..

     

    No. Not always. As a 19 year STH I was at many many Lindy Ruff games where the attendance was poor and the team was poor.

     

    I agree that winning will bring those sellouts back!
