  7. Official Ralph Krueger named Sabres Head Coach

    I like the move by JBotts. Not a retread, but with some NHL experience.  Strength is LEADERSHIP - I think this is what is most needed to guide these young bucks out of the losing doldrums they have been in their entire Sabres career.  Also an innovative thinker with an eye on applying analytics.  Intriguing times ahead for sure.

    I especially like what Friedman said about Krueger on The Instigators today:

    Friedman on Krueger's coaching style:

    "He is a relentlessly positive guy, and he creates an environment where people believe in their ability to accomplish things. One of the things that is really changing... [back in the day], it was 'do this, do that and don't dare challenge.' This generation is all about 'why?' 'Why do I have to do this? Why are we doing that?' I think you're coach now, more than anything else, has to create an environment for this generation of players. 'Why are we going to buy into your vision? Why are we going to do this?' He's the kind of guy who can build that."

    "He creates belief, he creates a feeling of team and why we're going to accomplish things together. Now he's not a bad X's and O's guy at all, but he hasn't done it in a while. You're going to need people around him that can help him fix that problem. I know that in Edmonton, one of the things the organization felt was that his system did some things that you can do in international hockey, but you can't do that in the NHL, in terms of the way you position things. As far as I'm concerned, that can all be fixed. I have a feeling that one of the reasons that the Sabres are going after him is because of the way he builds teams to believe in themselves. Look, it's been a hard few years in Buffalo. I can see why his ability to do that would appeal to the Sabres organization."

    Rob says crick. Finally he's speaking my language.

    I thought same!  Having grown up in Springville, we said "crick" a lot. ?
    That's what I like about Rayzor, he is real in his own skin.  Not worried about being mr. fancy pants analytics (while I do appreciate that perspective of mathematical metrics) or big ego famous guy full of himself.  He's just a WNY/Southern ONT regular guy.
