  1. Who will be the next Head Coach of the Buffalo Sabres?

    in The Aud Club

    Posted · Edited by WhenWillItEnd66

    So, in order (Experienced coaches only):

     

    Brindy - Not leaving the lames though

    Q - Not coming back to the NHL, be very shocked if they do.

    Berube - Most likely the most available choice

    Gallant - Just slightly ahead of Ruff

    Lindy - As much as i like him, prefer not to retread. Do not believe he was responsible for the Devils being good last year.

    Defamation of a Winning Coach of 864 wins

    One of the most Accomplished Coaches in Sabres History

    Last Year, The Devils ultimately finished third in the NHL, and second in their division, with a 52–22–8 record. Ruff was again named a finalist for the Jack Adams Award. Ruff did this bringing NJ from the dredges for 3 years.

    In 2014, Ruff led the Dallas Stars to their first playoff appearance since 2008. Another team he brought back from the dredges!!!!

    In Ruff's second season as coach, the Sabres reached the 1999 Stanley Cup Finals before losing to the Dallas Stars in six games

     

    That is the Coach I want to LEAD the Sabres from a 13 years missing from the Playoff streak

     

     

    First off, Ruff was most likely not responsible for the Devils last year. Andrew Brunette was most likely responsible. Once he left, the Devils went to straight garbage. Ruff although could be a decent choice as he is a hard nose coach, is not the Sabres Savior.

    Hamilton was on GR. I am one of the ones that actually likes what he has to say and had some good thoughts. 

     

    Appert - Harder nose coach. Could be what this team needs, but not proven at NHL level.

    Brind’amour - Actually good friends with KA. Hamilton seems to think if he wanted to move on from the Canes he would be interested here. BIG IF Though

    Ruff - Been there done that. 

    Peca - Here is an idea i like. Seems to be doing well in NY and is a hard working player that would expect the same from his team. Again, no NHL Level coaching exp.

    Any retread - There is a reason why they are not employed right now. Would be a bit skeptical.

     

    A good point was brought up that this is going to be a good job to walk into. Owner with money, lots of skilled players at NHL and in the pipeline. Is it the best job, no. But the coach that takes this team to the playoffs would be treated like a god. (For a couple of years anyways)

  10. Adams & Granato to return?

    If you don't count Benson, Quinn, Peterka, Dahlin then sure. 

    Quinn and Peterka are NOT physical players. Peterka avoids contact like the plague and does not have the size nor strength yet to fight against the wall (Will come in time me thinks). They are great players, but we need more physicality.

    So young players lack physical toughness?

    Zach Benson would like a word.

    No, they lack physical toughness because it is NOT part of their game. Most of our younguns are non physical players. Just like most of the Sabres. 

     

    Totally agree with Benson, he is a chippy SOB to play against. He will get stronger, and be more of a skilled pest, and he can take a beating. We definitely need more like him with some size.

    No feeling that Pegs is going to do anything but status quo. Not feeling that KA is going to make the changes needed to take this team forward. I would like to think that some of the assistant coaches will be gone, but unfortunately do not see that happening either. I have just totally lost faith in the management/leadership of this organization. Unless we get really lucky next year i see 14 years and counting. I am very much hoping that the Sabres prove me seriously wrong and they look committed to actually winning again. 

  25. Does Pegula Have Any Pride?

    In hockey,  yes.  Worst owner and no pride.  Last night should have been a huge embarrassment and black eye for this team,  but has become acceptable and normal.  He talked a huge game when he bought the team,  but clearly shows he it's clueless on how to run this team.  The firing of Fontaine was the start.
