FrenchConnection44 Posted May 15 Report Share Posted May 15 So the Sabres South are better than the actual Sabres. Have to admit, frustrating to see us serving as a farm team for the Panthers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pimlach Posted May 15 Report Share Posted May 15 (edited) 19 minutes ago, CallawaySabres said: I am starting to think that the Sabrs actually need to blow the entire team up for better talent after seeing the rosters on these playoff teams. The problem is…how are they going to get better talent when they have wasted so many high draft picks on mediocre Players? The only solution is to trade their top level prospects for proven players and hope that somebody bites. The Sabres are close right now. They needed better coaching. Let’s give Ruff a shot. They also need to replace 4-6 players on the current roster, depending on how much risk Adams will take. Past tendencies are that he doesn’t cover risks.

This did not age well. 🙂 I think everyone here would agree that we all hope Ruff can make the Sabres into a team that doesn't quit when they are back up against it the way the Bruins showed it tonight. I think they will still lose the series, but if they get lucky in game 6, game 7s are always a who knows what will happen thing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Second Line Center Posted May 15 Report Share Posted May 15 Kane asserting his will on that last shift….can talk all we want about a bottom 6 but your top 6 needs at least one guy that plays like that. At least when Kane wants to. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At least when Kane wants to. There's absolutely no reason (physiologically) that Tage Thompson should not be able to play like that and assert his will. Can Ruff change the reason (psychological) that he doesn't? Stay tuned to next season to find out. 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Doohickie Posted May 15 Report Share Posted May 15 If/when we get to the playoffs, Tage will take some hits. One would hope he delivers a few too. I have video proof that he's capable. And they don't have to be Umberger Soup hits. Just effective physicality is all I think he needs to provide. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Have been carrying the burden of this “suffering” (thanks, Darcy, that choice of words really helps complete my analogy) for so long, once it’s eventually gone I’m not personally sure at this point if there truly will be any going back. The hurts are starting to go too deep. I’m honestly worried about it. I’m worried about how this franchise makes me feel Ah, well, I’m sure it’ll be fine. Can’t give up.

I definitely find my love of the sport waning and have been wondering for a long time now how much I love hockey and the damn NHL, as opposed to the memories triggered amongst the companionship found when the team was decent.

I don't think he'd ever be Evander Kane level of physical but I could certainly see him dishing out some degree of physical play in the playoffs. He does show it in spurts, even this year, where in desperation or frustration he will genuinely hit and/or grind opposing players on the boards to use his size entirely for puck retrieval. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You're a certain kind of fan at 20 and a different kind of fan at 40. Edited May 15 by PASabreFan Late middle age 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
