Really expect one of Dahlin or Tuch to wear the C with Cozens taking the other A. Maybe Ruff goes off the board and gives the C to Cozens and lets the other 2 get the A's. Honestly, what has Cozens done to earn the C? We've all heard the workhorse from Whitehorse stuff but we've also seen the shots of poolside lounging. I wanted him to be a new generation of leader type, thought he might be, but so far I've seen nothing to indicate he is one in any way at all.

No person who ever sat beside a pool should ever wear the "C" for an NHL franchise. Brad Marchand spends his vacations wrestling bears in Siberian coal mines.

PASabreFan Posted May 27 Report Share Posted May 27 I can't imagine Ruff looks around this lockerroom and sees a captain. So maybe he'll revert to the post co captain era. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Heck, why don't we give one to everybody participation ribbon style. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I gotta believe Lindy will have a feel for the guys before preseason starts. This whole "wait until" stuff has to be over now if the Sabres are going anywhere this coming season. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If he doesn’t, then there is more growth required from some guys. I hope we are beyond needing growth, there should be some leaders in that room. He may opt for the co captain route again. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Buffalo Sabres franchise deserves every bit of snark. I think the "disdain" is for the absolute bonkers idea that a young man taking a poolside vacay pic during the frickin' offseason makes him too much of a "good vibes" "chill bro" to be a captain. It is just plain silly. Silly, I tell you! A quick search of google images will turn up a relaxing vacay pic of pretty much every "worthy" captain out there. If someone were to say "I don't think Cozzie deserves the 'C' because his play is still a touch inconsistent for my tastes.", that is a respectable reason. Not, gee - he sure seems to have a good time on his insta-tok or he doesn't look like an NFL linebacker when he takes his shirt off (yeah, that last one is for the "he needs to eat 30 chicken breasts a day and put on 15 lbs of pure shredded muscle by next year" crowd) 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But the disdain jab has been coming. Dudacek has been in this mode for a long time. The fans just can't see how great things are. It's the drought coloring their opinions... Certainly not the team. Cozens gets the snark because he disappeared last season. Dudacek is the progeny of neo and X. He carries on the legacy of superiority and aloofness and sophistication well. Damn... That's some good vocabulary. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

After looking at his pool pictures I do recommend he start hit the weight room harder than ever. Strength training every other day, until camp. Seriously, the kid needs to get on a muscle building program. 22 minutes ago, PASabreFan said: OK maybe. But the disdain jab has been coming. Dudacek has been in this mode for a long time.

I'm at least a little ambivalent that my "homogenous chill Sabre bros lounging poolside celebrating their big contracts when they haven't accomplished sh1t" take is on the verge of becoming part of Sabrespace lore. I guess it'd be that, and the Concept of Kassian. Edited May 28 by That Aud Smell Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
That Aud Smell Posted May 28 Report Share Posted May 28 I'll add here: @dudacek's virulent opposition to the take is a bit perplexing to me. I'm solidly with @PASabreFan: What has this franchise -- and this group specifically -- done to deserve more latitude from the long-suffering faithful?

There is an enormous gap that exists between giving no grace to a franchise that has floundered for 13 seasons (quite reasonable) and beating up on the character of a 23 year old because he dared to post a photo of himself relaxing with a cocktail (quite unreasonable). Carry on as you wish though. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
