Maybe Syr will get tired of all that offense so Amerks can pounce!! Lol If Amerks pull off this win, they owe Levi big time

This team cannot beat a heavy forecheck aggressive team. Sounds familiar

Just like the Sabres. It is their system

Being outshot 17-3 in ot is embarrassing

Now this is a Sabres style game. 🙄

So, he put up some points which is good. But was he good defensively as well? Not sure how their defensive player of the year is awarded. Nice to see a Bigger RHD doing well. We will need him in a couple of years!!

I have been there and done that!!! I wish you the best in your new/old job!! Hope it provides the QOL that you deserve!!

Sometimes less money and less stress is a lot better then more and more. What good does the extra money do if you are hating life and stressed to the core and cannot enjoy it. I have been a recruiter/Manager since 2002. I have had crap jobs where i had to take a second job and i have made great money where i am miserable always wondering if i was going to still be there the next year. It is hard to find that job that you love that pays great and i have been lucky to find that happy medium a couple of times, which includes my 21 years in the Navy. I hope you find that going back to your old job and the stress is not too bad. The recruiter part of me totally understands the actual needs of every person that i interview. I always tell my candidates that money is not worth it if you cannot enjoy the life to spend it.

Been watching a lot of the western games and they definitely do not disappoint!!! Colorado is definitely looking like King of the West for now and the Dallas/Vegas games are incredible!! This is what exciting playoff hockey is! I would love to see Avs/Panthers in the final. That would be incredible!

Johnson was touted as a great first pass defensive smart defenseman. He is EXACTLY that. Even at the NHL level he knows how to handle himself and the game around him where he is mostly in the right place all the time. He is not a goal scorer and we do not need him to be that. A transactional defenseman who can make a great first pass out of the zone and play good defense.

As a professional recruiter/HR, there is no good or bad time to give the notice. I would give it As soon as possible as to avoid burning any bridges with the company you are about to leave. It is always a good thing when you can glo back to an older job you have with a better life!!

Although i am a huge Mitts fan, i think Buffalo traded a player they needed for one that they did not. We already have enough playmaking non hitting defenseman. Will he be good for the team? Most likely yes. This team will miss Mitts and what he brought. It is now a glaring need this off season. On the other hand i am also a huge Avs fan so i will just root for Mitts there! He is having a decent playoff so far and i am happy that he got away from the perpetual tire fire that seems to be the Sabres.

If that is the weirdest, you do not pay much attention to this board! LOL And no, most NHL teams do not pay 1 and 2 million for AHL Players. Could just be me and i am ok with that. To me it showed that management thought they were SABRES and then realized they were AHLers AFTER they signed them. Not to smart to me.

That was the point. Why are we paying players that much to play in rochester. Also Comrie was there when we had the 3 headed monster until someone grew the balls to send Levi down. They are all ONE WAY Contracts..... i know, not my money, but seems like a waste to me.

There are a couple of players that were in Rochester making more than what normal AHLers make. Stillman, Jost, i know there are more than them....

My thoughts on what they need to do. Buh Bye to : Jost, Olofsson, Comrie, Clague, Bryson Trade Joki & Krebs and whatever or package him for a sturdy physical 3rd line center or RHD that is defensive and physical. Add some Benson but bigger (2 players please) Package whomever for a top 6 winger with some size and physicality I know Skinner is not going to be going anywhere. He is worthless on the bottom 6 so needs to be playing with talent. Time to use some of this teams capital (Prospects and picks) to make this team harder to play against. No more undersized players that stick check. No more stick checking dmen. We have plenty of those. This team needs to really add what it is missing and this is the year it must be done. And stop paying players big money to play in Rochester!!! That is total incompetence!!!

The more time passes, i am slowly becoming more ok with Ruff. We all know his coaching style and unfortunately it is what this young team needs. We also know that he likes a harder nose style of hockey and that should help as well. Not 100% thrilled as i think Adams was lying through his teeth on double digit candidates. It is what it is. We have a bunch of great pieces that unfortunately cannot motivate themselves. Ruff will definitely get them motivated quickly. Buh bye Skinner!! LOL

Goes down real quick when you do not interview anyone and have a quick handshake with a fired coach that happens to live in your town.

6 years.... with an extension already made for another 2 years

Corrected

He was their only option when they fired donny. No search... at All.

I would be totally OK with him being an assistant

Can we please have the end of season owner and gm office cleanout interviews please. I hate them both with a passion after the Ruff hiring.

Ughhhhhh i am NOT a fan of this. This is a shortsighted crap lazy decision. This organization is a joke and i am glad there are 31 other teams to watch. FU Adams you idiot.

All a moot point as he is not going anywhere.
