Explain to me how any player has gotten better under Ruff, he's done nothing for 15 years with this team but yet still seems to keep his job. Cup winning coaches have gotten fired for less. Stafford is a complete BUM worth NOTHING, Myers has regressed under Ruff.

Can you name any defenseman besides Campbell and Tallinder that R and R actually drafted and developed

Please support your argument that he has not lost the room.

I think that guy is ruff or darcy or pegula lol.

Sekera, Weber, Myers. All have been here a couple years now.

This message board is brutal. Talk about homers, its always something huh?

Last year everyone is happy Darcy is actually active on July 1 and picks up a few players. Darcy also drafts well, but we don't talk about that. The majority of his trades he has won. Anyone want Roy or kassian on this team? If you do you are out of your mind.

Oh no, we aren't skilled enough this year? Last year everyone was complaining how soft we were. See Milan lucic. We are horrible at face offs this year? Wasn't everyone chirping Darcy to send gastad packing? We can't have it both ways people. Try to be a bit more objective if your arguments.

What if Myers is playing like his rookie season right now? What if stafford returned to his 30 goal self? All the sudden we're a good team. All the sudden we aren't chasing Darcy and lindy around with pitchforks. Believe it or not, one or two player not performing to kill a team. It can also make a team. See the 2012 la kings. What if leino played like he did in the playoffs against us?

Is amazing to come on here and read comments from people who are never satisfied. We don't get enough shots? Come on here tonight and read about how we put 35 into Anderson's chest. I get it, everyone wants a big strong mean defenseman like chara and a smooth skating offensive guy like karlsson. Guess what, their few and far between. Darcy should just make a trade for one of them right? Oh wait no way he could, he doesn't have the stones. Burn him!!

I love all you Monday morning quarterbacks. There's a reason you are posting your ideas on a message board and not being paid hundreds of thousands of dollars coaching or assembling a professional hockey team.

So, you are happy with the team and the direction it is headed?

I don't need to....

What I do know is that ruff has had 15+ years here and hasn't got it done. What I do know is we have missed the playoffs 3 outta the past 5 years. Anywhere else you get fired but not here in good old Buffalo.

I don't know if he is to blame but a change is obviously needed. Plus when hecht plays more then any other forward you gotta blame coaching, when grigs is playing with scott and ellis you gotta blame the coach, when hecht and ellis are out with 20seconds left in a game your losing you gotta blame the coach. I could go on but I think you get my point.

Ok, so by you blaming the coach you are saying he is making the wrong decision. All I am saying is that there is no way you have even close to any of the information available to make that statement. You are implying you know more than ruff Regier Pagula and black. I would say drily and briere had their best years under ruff. Along with Campbell.

We wanted to get tougher we got tougher. Now we need more scoring and better D. If it is not one thing its other. R & R need to go along with half the team, but Terry is still the "lovable" owner so...

Marcus Foligno looking any good offensively and what line is he on?



Thanks!

Sekera, Weber, Myers. All have been here a couple years now.

Sekera is hated by half the town, Myers is hated by 95% of the city, Weber is far from a developed player he can barely stay in the lineup at age 25. Who else? They have been here 15 years

Your confusing what I'm saying with what someone else is saying... Did you even read what I wrote? What i wrote was facts, if your okay with hecht playing more then any other forward, if your okay with your 1st rounder playing 4th line minutes with scott, if your okay with putting out your 4th line in crucial minutes then so be it. But your not gonna win with that kind of coaching.

Stafford

He's struggling big time. I get the feeling that once he finally gets one though, they'll start coming with more regularity.
- HonkFortheGoose

I'm gonna let that one go and stay quiet.

Chicken....
- jochfr

Maybe he needs to hang out with more girls so he can get on their cycle.


In case you missed it from the previous thread.

Calm down their bud, it's a question that has nothing to do with Myers.

Most of your comments are

I dont get what your arguing??
- Smittyx36

Its not an argument it's a question. People say Darcy is good at drafting, our defense is awful. Who have we drafted and developed in 15 years besides Tallinder and Campbell?

Hecht plays PK
- Dudestar

So does Pominville, Hodgson, Ott, Kaleta! They all should be getting more ice time then hecht. So try again.

Oh I agree with you then. Although I think the past couple years he has done a good job.

Ummm, okay you're welcome bud.
- Nucker101

Is he still on pace to score 40 goals this year? Or has he fallen off as usual
