Weave Posted May 20, 2015 Report Share Posted May 20, 2015 You just want to phuk with me b/c I'm "the new guy" in this little world of 14 daily posters. Admit it. Wait.... are you propositioning me? :blush: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kruppstahl Posted May 20, 2015 Report Share Posted May 20, 2015 Wait.... are you propositioning me? :blush: Sweet mother of Gawd! Can we go back to the beginning? The idea here is to discuss whether or not Babcock will become the new coach of the Sabres. I hope he will be. I think we will find out by this time tomorrow! I'm a Sabres fan and have watched them closely since the late 1970s. I hope you are a Sabres fan too! I think we both want to see the Sabres win a lot of hockey games and win the Stanley Cup. I think Mike Babcock would help us do that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WildCard Posted May 20, 2015 Report Share Posted May 20, 2015 Krupp, Ya dun goofed, admit it or stop talking about it so I can stop hearing all of this in a thread I'm excited about. It's hard starting to post here, because until people know you some things you'll say will invariably come off the wrong way. I think you have some very good posts here so far, don't take it the wrong way if someone calls you out on something. You can defend it, or just admit you're wrong. Really though, can we cut the ? It's annoying going through this thread for actual conversation and reading all of this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
darksabre Posted May 20, 2015 Report Share Posted May 20, 2015 Wildcats! 1985 :blush: And don't trust D4rk. He's a...... whatinthehell are Lancasterers calling themselves these days? Yupnecks. We here in Lancaster believe in white rights and hey do you want to take over the lease on my beemer? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TrueBlueGED Posted May 20, 2015 Report Share Posted May 20, 2015 I going to sound like Drane here, but he makes good points: with Babcock it's all about system and discipline. Babcock is an overbearing authority figure; Kane is his own man to a fault. If each sees the other as a meal ticket, then no problem. If they test each others boundaries... I have no doubt Ennis will do what he's told, I just think Ennis is at his best when he is being unpredictable and he might end up looking more like Rolston Ennis than Nolan Ennis. Bogo was anointed as lead dog by Nolan and was doing as he pleased, charging all over the ice like a stallion. He also has a history of bad penalties. Bad gambles and bad penalties aren't tolerated under Babcock. I think and hope Babcock is a smart enough coach to play these guys to their strengths. But make no mistake, he will be laying down the law. Hard. Good stuff. I vehemently disagree regarding Ennis, but then again, I'm one of a teeny tiny minority who doesn't think he was much different this year than in years past, so I may just be out to lunch on that.

sicknfla Posted May 20, 2015 Report Share Posted May 20, 2015 In terms of another full season in AHL: Big Z: no. Eichel: no. Reinhart: more questionable but likely no. At least that's my 2 cents. Wo! What? You think Zadorov has a 75% chance to be in a different organization? He is 1/2 of our future shutdown defensive pairing. Curious why you say that. Didn't say 75% chance he would be in different organization. Said 75% chance he would be in Rochester OR a different organization. I think he could be part of a draft day trade for another top 6 winger. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dudacek Posted May 20, 2015 Report Share Posted May 20, 2015 (edited) You strike me as shockingly young, naive, or both. That's cool. You have to remember that people on forums like this come from disparate walks of life. Not everyone has experience dealing with all sorts of different things. I hope this doesn't come across as me piling on, or being part of the gang, but this board is like any community, it has its own culture. Maybe you are used to other message board cultures, but ours facilitates the best Sabre talk you will find on the internet. You seem like an informed fan and I don't think you are deliberately meaning to insult anybody. Hit the reset button and welcome aboard. I think Risto if anyone will learn the most from Babcock. This is the most exciting thing about this possible hire. Norris Trophy excitement. And we couldn't ask for a coach who will better appreciate Sam Reinhart.

I think he could be part of a draft day trade for another top 6 winger. Well that's interesting! Here is an interesting point during the tumult that is the rebuild around here: At some point, we have to convert high draft picks, trades, prospects, free agent signings and all of the general "opportunity" around here into flesh and blood that plays night in and night out on the ice. It is an interesting question to ask who you (or anyone) thinks we have "in the bank" at this point in time. I would put "Big Z" near the top of that list, right behind Risto, and ahead of Pysyk (as far as the D is concerned). So you think Zadorov is expendable I guess. That's interesting to me.

Can we just have a legitimate thread where everybody comes together and virtually hugs and we all get to hit the reset button? Once you ###### up, like Krupp is right now (and I did for my first 10,802 posts), nobody forgets it and you just the eternal scarlet letter. If posters were given a legitimate shot to have a clean slate across the board then they might not lash out so much. (I'm basically just talking about myself. I want a hug) Edited May 20, 2015 by Hoss Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also, although we are hearing mixed signals, it sounds like there is at least a 50% chance that he does in fact come here! This whole conversation is going to move far forward tomorrow. I'm looking forward to it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hey if Krupp wants I can bring back another installment of the SS SmackDown. I'll happily engage this German artillery in a battle of typing speed to see who can out shitpost another for each other's point. I only need 18k more to catch D4rk and become the Internet King, or 7k more to catch Hoss and become (insert something that won't make Hoss mad here :P ) Edited May 20, 2015 by WildCard Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

shrader Posted May 20, 2015 Report Share Posted May 20, 2015 in the last 30 minutes or so, I just checked in on this thread for the first time since around 4. Needless to say, my head hurts.
