I would rather have phil then kruger behind the bench


of course that is not saying much
- homiedclown

I have no idea wtf I'm doing.

That guy?

Bring Lindy back
- SABRES 89

we have not had a decent coach since him

but money is no longer an issue for the sabres


1. rolston
2. bring back nolan
3. disco sucks
4. rookie coach
5. soccer man


to go with 2 rookie gm's

Hopefully it's not sam. He went to the all you can eat buffet line for knuckle sandwiches.

Another must win or jbotts should be fired immediately after the game
- Boss34

Idgaf about wins anymore. Season is toast. I want to see Cernak KO'd

I have no idea wtf I'm doing.

That guy?
- Powerslave

at least he knew when to switch a goalie in the middle of the game and play a 40 goal scorer with eichel

He's tossing them tomorrow 100%. I watched a few of his fights. He throws rights to the back of the helmet until the guy loses his balance a bit and then goes for the KO uppercut.

That's great fighting is soooo overrated in hockey beat them in the scoreboard run up the score

It just shows we have zero skill to compete

If you're in a slump, and you're response is more "toughness" or "sandpaper" or any other of those cliches, it's usually a sign you're out of answers.
- buffalofan19

they were out of answers 6 weeks ago

time to stop being pushed around

if you can't compete on the ice, at least have a response when you get pushed around
- homiedclown

I totally agree.

As a season ticket holder there are 2 things I enjoy.

1. Winning
2. Entertainment

Getting slapped around countlessly over the past 5 years is ridiculous. Combined losing and beatdowns physically is the worst.

US and Czech Republic are going to OT. Means Canada wins its pool with any kind of win tomorrow, assuming the US even pulls this one out.

you have to respond when eichel, dahlin etc get injured by cheap shots


we don't

The Sabres dont have the firepower to do that with Skinner in the lineup. If Smith and Lazar run some guys and beat people up, that will be entertaining.

No, it’s actually not wrong
Go look at the guys they picked & get back to me

Scott Stevens became a Devil as compensation for the Blues signing Brendan Shanahan as an RFA in July of 91.........

Dressing a goon 3-4 weeks later isn't a response either.

NTC
they have to protect skinner
- homiedclown

Damn, maybe he'll waive it to maybe go to Seattle, I would, I'd deal with the rain. That is a nice city otherwise.

you can't have kuch and cernak injuring our guys with no response

Totally. The Sabres are out of answers.

Tampa is 3-0 against us.

Krueger should tell the boys to outscore them tommorow.

When that obviously fails, at least represent buffalo as a blue collar town. At home. Tux and pucks.

- homiedclown

So do it when it happens not now ..

If a player can't jump a guy after taking a run at the captain then trade him

You don't need to bring in a fighter

- buffalofan19

nope


a goon should be dressed for every game vs the bruins, leafs and bolts

instead of 7 d men

How so 19?

Even if the new goon just dresses to let Tampa know "we're done taking bs" . I think its necessary.

Doubt he goes after either kuchorov or cernak.

Probably fight maroon if anything.

Sabres need to make a statement, it's not ok to head shot our players. Or low bridge our players.

Finally
- Boss34

I agree with 19. Personally I think its a bush league move at this point in the season, we need wins not to punch Maroon in the face. However, if I am Jbotts and I signed this kid to a 2-way contract, I am telling him that he WILL go out and Hammer Cernak & or Kuch or he will never see NHL ice again with the Sabres. it is obvious he is here for one reason and one reason only.

See I couldn't care less about this. "Blue collar" is synonymous with never winning.

- gerbe75pts

when you have 17 pussies on the ice, you need to dress one

that is my point

I can't be the only one that hates this

because it's time to stop making excuses, preach patience
blah blah blah


that sh!t ended when housley got fired IMO
- homiedclown

Botts was forced to trade O’Reilly, correct?

No other real #2 centers have been moved,
except for Kadri- who the leafs weren’t trading here, correct?

So Botts best options to try & win now,
while building a contender for the long run,
was to draft his 2C
And smartly, he even doubled down on that spot by picking Cozens, even after Mitts was praised by literally every single expert

Kinda seems to me like Botts did his best to temporarily fill the 2C role,
while we wait for the guys he actually envisions to develop

If you think there were other legit options than what was done,
then I’m all ears

But once he was forced to move ROR,
it seems to be that he’s done his best to fix the bad situation

Mitts needs more time
That’s a bummer, but it’s what it is

This is what we get for trading ROR
If i remember correctly, you were even on board with that
It’s turned out to be a move that’s been killing us ever since

nope

Homie, I got much respect for you, but this team needs NHL caliber Players before they need goons.

I agree with 19. Personally I think its a bush league move at this point in the season, we need wins not to punch Maroon in the face.

- hehateme

how do you feel when eichel is laying on the ice, with no response

or dahlin

or skinner?


the other guys in that locker room never respond

nope

Forfeiting the game entirely gets you the same exact result...
