Yes they needed Vets, but not 2 vets that breed losing and have No clue how to Win.

Breed losing?

Okposo was a father figure to the kids and watch beyond blue and gold deadline. Dahlin looked up to him

Erik Johnson was a former 1st overall pick and won a cup with Colorado.

The move make better sense than greenway and Clifton

none of those 4 are difference makers and at the end of the day, with a full season of greenway and clifton, we were worse this season than last season

this "young" core does not need leaders, they need to be told to take the headphones off and act like winning matters more than anything when at practice, in games and working out for the offseason

There’s nothing he could’ve said that would’ve changed your mind before it even started

Looking up to someone and that person being a good leader are 2 different things. Great he taught him how to be a great guy, but Okposo or Girgensons sure didn't teach them how to Win on the Ice. I want someone who is gonna lead these young men to the playoffs, not F@cking hold there Hands.

Pushing that to the side. Be that as it may.

Know what you need and go find it. He gets fired with his next coach if it's another two year guy.

- TheSabresTaco


He should have been fired along with his boy. He’s blown two straight seasons. Inexcusable. If they think rolling with Appert is going to appease this fan base they are out of their (frank)ing minds. Looks like the coaching equivalent of standing pat on this roster after last season.

He should be gone and Terry shouldn’t be president.

This team will not win a cup with those two at the top.

A real coach may get them in but the team isn’t constructed to make a deep playoff run.

I hope I’m wrong but 13 years of a pegula running the show is pretty solid evidence

Been trying to tell y’all since January that Detroit wasn’t making the dance.

Took a lot of crap for it too.

The are 4th liners. Of course they aren’t good enough to lead the team to victory.

I know I poop on him constantly but he has taken responsibility today and he seems pissed off. He also seems to have a clear vision of an experienced HC. I still think he's in over his head but maybe something knocked loose. Or I'm just trying to create excitement in my own head. Idk

You seem interested enough to almost watch more then a handful of games next season.

What I like about Ruff is he can get the most out of defensemen. I think he is the guy to unlock Power and Byram and take Dahlin to another level. He definitely can get this team to the playoffs imo. The only box he doesn't check for me is he hasn't won a cup.

I feel like unlocking this teams defense and having a pressure system is exactly what this team needs. This is a speed, skilled team that needs the defense to step up.

Lindy to me is that guy.

Its unfortunate Buffalo let Peca walk. He should have been an assistant in Buffalo this past year.

If Dahlin hits another level, whoo boy, I'm not sure what that would even look like.

i agree with him no matter what he sais ppl was already ready to bash him....for me the fact that he said we need a coach with a nhl pedigree and that "not in his words" but somebody would whip them a bit is all i needed to hear

I think you were stuffed in lockers as a kid


I’m not sure if you understand team sports

You want 4th liners to will the team to victory? lol. Wow. Just wow.

Let’s trade powers while we’re at it …. Let’s trade for reeves.

Let’s keep letting you be gm

Okpsos and Erik Johnson were basically mentors like Craig anderson.

these coaches go on and coach for other teams though

only bowman has done it in the last 50 plus years for multiple teams

- homiedclown


The guys with multiple Cups all won them in like a 5 year span, is there anyone that's won multiple Cups on the same team that won with totally different team composition?

Are you referring to the Okposo presser where he was determined to give Okposo whatever he wanted then proceeded to cry?
