E. Karlsson on the ice for 8 of 9 Vegas goals in this series

My point is they need mittelstadt to be that guy for this team to succeed. Unfortunately we traded our strong two way C. We need to bring more scoring in any way possible

Weren't you pushing for Duchene? I'm just questioning his fit on this team and cost.

Our forwards need to improve at every facet of the game. Soft, perimeter player with average speed, weak defensively, and can only produce with Eichel describes 75% of our forwards and prospects.

I know people are going to hate it but If he doesn’t sign with buffalo I’m going to say Boston

All quiet on the coaching front.

I think Botterill is going to have to settle for his AHL coach. Nobody worth a damn wants the job because they know there is a good chance Botterill will be fired when the Sabres miss the playoffs again next season.

This comment.

Cripes. Because he hasn't hired someone in 7 days, no one wants the job?

Or just that Botterill is doing what he SHOULD be doing, interviewing everyone he can.

McClellan took a pass, Vigneault might be going to Philly.

This is not going to be a coveted land spot for a coach. Botterill could be fired a year from now and his successor will want his own coach.

Where did it ever say McLellan took a pass?

Did someone actually report that specifically?

And everyone runs with that story because it "just sounds like that's what happened".

Great.

The organization has big problems and we have every fan jumping to conclusions just because he's no longer in the running.

Ever think he said something in the interview that had Botts thinking, no effing way I'm hiring this guy?

Lets review - news breaks that says "McLellan and the Kings have agreed that he will be the next coach of the LAKings. It will be a five year deal with other details being worked out."

Then, "Ut Oh, Buffalo is in the mix and everything has been put on hold while Mac interviews for that position."

Item 3: "McLellan interviewed and he is out of consideration for the Sabres."

Somehow this becomes evidence that nobody wants to work here, and must be that the candidate took a pass.

That's not how interviews work.

He didn't give Botterill a chance to make him an offer, but yet he hasn't signed the Kings so called offer either.

Apparently he's supposed to interview with them over the next couple of days.

Right.

I get that everyone is fed up with this organization or the owners or the players or the gm or the price of beer or all of the above, but I (frank)ING HATE people that kick someone while they're down, and that includes spreading bullish!t rumors, making assumptions, jumping to conclusions, etc.

They haven't hired anyone: "it's been a week. No one wants the job"

They hire someone tomorrow: "they rushed it. Why wouldn't they take their time?"

Just so sick of the negativity.
