Unless and until this team gives me something for which to cheer (outside of magical and unsustainable winning streaks in October and November), I'll be doing dumb sh1t like this. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shrader Posted May 24, 2019 Report Share Posted May 24, 2019 Well if there absolutely has to be a nickname, this is hockey we're talking about. It has to be Kroogsie. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Perhaps even more extreme is that guy Ron Hainsey. Is he Hainer? Also, I'm less looking for a hockey nickname and more looking for a message board shorthand.

North Buffalo Posted May 24, 2019 Report Share Posted May 24, 2019 Sounds like a positive, no BS high energy guy that wont back down when Sabres start dragging... I like it. Maybe we will see 60 minute efforts win or lose next year and hopefully like a CB in football... a short term memory not getting caught up in in game mistakes.

I could see Krueger immediately pushing to add Maurice as an assistant with a plan agreed to by Botterill and Pegulas to have Maurice eventually succeed Krueger as coach with Krueger moving into a POHO role or Assistant GM to Botterill.

nfreeman Posted May 26, 2019 Report Share Posted May 26, 2019 OK, so I just watched the Dreger interview. I'm officially psyched about RK. He has presence and exudes confidence and leadership -- exactly what this team has been dying for. I still want an upgrade at goalie, but I wouldn't be surprised if he's able to get more consistent play out of Hutton and Ullmark. Let's go. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And if he gets more consistent play out of not only the goalies but everyone, contrary to what a few around here believe, this team has the talent to make the playoffs. Now that’s not to say we can’t use 3-4 upgrades (besides goal) to put us in a position to do damage beyond the 1st round. Coaching, system, and in game adjustments WERE our biggest weakness. Hopefully with the hiring of RK and his assistants, that will no longer be the case. Now I think our biggest weakness is an effective dangerous 2nd line. Hopefully JB will address that this summer.

I know that's not fair, but he just seems like one of the players, not the coach. That gravitas thing is real. This man seems more fitted to the job by his appearance, demeanor and confidence. Yes, that is kind of a superficial appraisement and might mean nothing, but there it is. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
