As much as Lindy's routine grew stale here I feel like he never said that about a team. He always liked his teams to come at them

Still think we should have brought Vanek back on a 1 year deal and stuck him on Eichel's wing

It will happen though. Unfortunately for us, the owner waited far too long.

So when is Sullivan getting canned? That's how you guys win right? Fire a guy mid-season and then win the Cup that year.

I think in bylsma's head he's thinking if we play super defensive we might win a few and only lose by a bit...open things up we'll still only win a few but lose big.
- Sabresfan-365


This. Exactly. I've said it probably ten times. Coaches hate goals. Goals mean offense, which means they're not playing defense which means they're getting scored on too.

Note: This only applies to bottom half teams. Good teams can generally play both.



I remember one of Murray's arguments against increasing the size of the nets. "Do you want 9-8 games? I don't." (frank) yes I want 9-8 games. Have you ever been to a Bandits game? They're awesome. Although lacrosse scores would be a little out of hand I would not mind in the least an average GPG of 10. Double the scoring. It'll never happen because coaches and GMs want nothing to do with goals.

2 Sabres I always defended, Vanek and Miller. Some don't agree with that.

So much this lol. I mean perfect world would be that sweet spot where its not way too many goals but the action is still good. But if you're asking me to choose between 8-7 and 1-0....well thats not a hard choice
