but why him? the captain from rochester can play hockey. Waive Gerbe or Hecht

Agree.
Hecht and Gerbe should have been waived far before McCormicks name came up.

I got this one Mes.

Bump

I was going to boycott the season because of the strike and then this happened.

I hope that the Sabres are bringing Ruff upstairs to help with the management decisions and that they are not just parting ways....he brings a lot of hockey knowledge and he should help get rid of some of the deadweight on the team.

There are some sorry lads on this team that are getting some big dollars...it is one of the biggest payrolls in the NHL. McCormick should have gone to the minors a long time ago, but he will end up on another team in the East.

Although I like Ruff and Reigher, it does not look like they are folks that can win.

Leadership cannot be passive, when people tend to work only to survive from year to year, then there is no success. It is a recipe for collapse from within.
The economy sucks because no one is willing to take risks...the old guys running companies never want to change because they like the way things are and they want things to stay that way until they retire.......well that's not what sports is all about.
And that is also not what brought Terry Pegula success.

Not winning the Stanley Cup is one thing; not making the playoff still another;
Losing games on the road, ok; but not winning at home and not icing a team with grip and grind, or entertainment value, well that is just totally unacceptable.

The team has attracted Passive people and they in turn surrounded themselves with introverted people. Nothing against Reigher's ability or Ruff's coaching style. However, the players like Miller or Pomminville - they would not know how to yell at someone if they had to....their interviews put me to the sleep when I'm running on a treadmill. Ott is a move in the right direction, but not enough.

We need a few players with charisma and drive; and we need a coach like Tortellera or Roy to put some drive in and nails in the rears of a few other players. Maybe even Shoenfield.....to tell the refs to eat some more donuts....that would get the adrenalin going....instead I can fall asleep running on a treadmill watching these guys!

Use the minor team....give some of the no name players a chance...not just the prospects.....find out where your character guys are? be inventive? not Hechtive!

So what if we brought back Hasek and maybe even Satan and we had some controversy in the changeroom, maybe a couple of guys stepping it up, calling each other out and punching each other out. Maybe thats what Connolly and Roy did, but the first sign of extraverted behavior, we had to ship them out. So what if we pulled Connolly off waivers when he goes on re-entry?

Philadelphia thought they had the right idea last year....too much extroverted adrenalin here they said....lets get rid of Richards and Carter.....the introverted LA KINGS got that message and look what happened......I rest my case!

I would have waived Gerbe. I can't see Hecht being anything other than a 4th liner under Rolston.

that's why the timing sucks. You would think our game plan will change. New guy sets the pace. Maybe McCormick is a good fit for the new coach. They didn't need to create roster space, so why not wait a day or two, or not put him on waivers at all.

Now if no one picks him up he's going to be all butt hurt, and already is apparently.

Amen.

Myself, and all the other members of the "Bucky Gleason knitting circle" who have been calling for this for 5 years, haven't been this happy about hockey in years.

Thanks.

Stafford is the only current player I've seen tweet...

"@Drewstafford21: Some days its just easier to be someone else and some days its just too easy."

Not sure what he means though?
Sounds like he's glad Ruff is gone?

About God Damned time. I don't want anyone connected with this organization. We need a fresh look at things. Someone who can make Darcy worry about his job.
