I thought so, too. And the Dreger interview, as well.

The guys ARE going to play hard for him. There's no doubt about that.

The million dollar question is, can Botts give him a few more horses to run out there and can they can cut down on the bonehead mistakes?

Did they ever stop talking about that one?

I can’t remember all the players they got

His presser to a smart fan was fine.

To the general public or average fan, they don’t seem to like anything the Sabres do.

Botts is on a 1 year, Prove It deal

during that 12 years

lots of bad hockey


hell roy busted his a$$ the one year to rehab for months and play game 7, fans all but ran him out of town

I mentioned this before .... the Sabres from a fans pov / social media side is a complete mess. Anything and everything the Sabres post on twitter, Facebook, or Instagram is all negative.

If skinner walks ..... I can’t imagine Sabres fans holding on for much longer

Social media is awful in general. Walked away from Facebook 2 years ago and never looked back. Never created a Twitter account.

The sabres comments on the channel 2 fb page were some of the worst takes I've ever read

I like the hire.
To me this team needs a strong leader of men, and boys.
I think they got that in spades with Ralphie-boy.
Now, who his Assts will be is an important decision as well, needing strong X's & O's guys.

After 8 years of being lost, wandering in the desert, is it any wonder the fan-base is highly skeptical of everything?

He's on a 20 game plan to start the season, if they aren't .500 he better be gone.

He was pretty used up by the time he left

I'll look at the field this weekend and send you a PM. Traveling to NYC next week for work so I need to do it before I leave.

I think we will have a much better idea around 8/15.
Probably by 7/15 but give him another month for a late Skinner-esque trade

The fans "ran him out of town" because the best stretch of hockey that team had played since 2007 was when he was out of the lineup. And it wasn't even close. It was night and day.

Yep. After all the gms return from "the cottage" 😂, it'll pick up again

That Cauflield kid looks legit.

Yeah, if you want a one dimensional winger who's a midget. I'll take Zegras. Speed, first step acceleration, good vision, high hockey IQ. He isn't a big hitter but can play with an edge. A complete center who has also played wing with Turcotte. He's compared to Kuznetsov. I'll take him.

I, for one, will not judge the ROR trade until I see what becomes of the late 1st this year and the 2nd rd pick next year, and until we see how Tage pans out too. If those 2 picks turn into solid players (or better...ROR himself was a high 2nd rounder) and TT carves out a decent top-9 spot then the trade is fine by me. Short-term thinking is what got us this shoddy rebuild in the first place, thanks to TM.

Happy that ROR is doing well now. Still not rooting for either team.

The Jeff Skinner saga is utterly disappointing. I have a disgust for how this process has played out. How long did it take pacioretty and stone to agree to terms with Vegas. It really seems like we’re constantly being played with like mike Babcock.

Vegas is a good team located in a desirable market. Buffalo has neither of those.

Interesting deal on WGR.

Not towards you, but what is the fascination with that guy? He's (channeling my inner 89) a bum.

They seem like they're finally making some strides with Nylander and we're going to trade him for that useless bum.

Devil you know? Perhaps.

That being said, if Nylander can be part of a package to get something bigger, I'm in.

Just my 2 cents.

I've been advocating for it since the TDL. Both could use a change of scenery. It's very much a Kassian for Hodgson deal
