Let's be rational. Micro vs macroanalysis. Some nice wins in garbage time doesn't obviate a need to add even more talent to the front office. A POHO doesn't have to mean Adams' plan is out the window. Let's argue the other side of the coin. What does Lindy Ruff add to the Sabres in a POHO role? Experience? Okay. Does that experience sync with the analytics-driven Karmanos Sabres? There is nothing I'm seeing with the Sabres trajectory that I feel Ruff advances. In fact I would fear falling back into old thinking. Hiring Ruff is a feel good nostalgia move. Don't fix what ain't broke.

GASabresIUFAN Posted April 22, 2022 Report Share Posted April 22, 2022 Just finished watching the game. A couple of thoughts. 1) VO is getting a bigger contract by the game. Maybe he is channeling Sam Reinhart after all. 2) I love seeing Power and Samuelsson killing penalties together. 3) Congrats to Owen for scoring his first goal by converting the best pass of Skinner’s career. 4) That maybe the worst ice in the NHL. 5) Sorry Lindy. You’ll need another game to pass Al Arbour. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think the thing about Eichel (and the culture around him) was this. With Eichel the team/ownership thinking was how do we make Eichel better, and how do we make Eichel happy, and how do we motivate Eichel to give us his all. Dumped money and term at him arguably before he earned it. Gave him wingers (Skinner, then Hall, Sam all the time). Gave him a motivational speaker coach (with zero hockey ability). Always make Jack happy, do what Jack wants. And Jack was the same. All for the glory, but not so much for the hard work (quit on a back check much Jack?) The current crop are more about what do we have to do to be better and make the team better. It's a total reversal, and the way it should have been. We tanked, which was arguably foolish, but then the rebuild centered on a diva rather than on a team. Seems to be fixed now. 4 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nucci Posted April 22, 2022 Report Share Posted April 22, 2022 Why would Ruff make a good team president? He's been a coach his whole career. He was my favorite coach but he's not needed here. We finally may be making progress 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wouldn't a plan to bring him in as PoHO be considered to be tampering? 1. Not for long. 2. It's still a useless position. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WhenWillItEnd66 Posted April 22, 2022 Report Share Posted April 22, 2022 Ok, so i did not get to watch the game (Damn blackout!) but i was able to watch the extended highlights. Happy that the Sabres seemed to keep coming but damn, did NJ get their goalies from the gutter?? He was 100% horrible. 3 of the goals were garbage crazy bounce goals. The look on Lindy's face was so damn funny!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
