His offense is better than your posts when you go trolling.

if he wins games, how many playoffs games has he played?

So by that logic Tage blows too then ?

Same with Dahlin ?

Regardless of publication you use, the guy is an analytics darling defensively.



He is the scapegoat for a decade of losing, but in the right role he helps you win games.

The problem is the "right role" is 9 minutes a night. Not 14.

Problem is they get hemmed in their zone and they must use the more defensive minded players.

Coach needs to create more, better possession time.

they have not been here since 2012 though

I don't think thats true.

Bad D, bad goalies, no real system have more to do with the lack of a good pk.

Guess that's why it's been horrible since he got here.

and paid like they are a 9 minute a night guy


it's a cap era


small market teams need to weaponize that

if a coach does not figure that out in a few years, he never will

Why has no other team offered him better deals than the Sabres? Do GM’s value this chart?

He has survived 2 roster tear downs, why did no GM trade for him?

Every GM who signed him, has never built a roster that made the playoffs, 2 of those GM’s were fired due to results of the team he’s been on.

It's complicated


Participation trophies are coming if we fail this spring

What is this based on?

I mean, where is Bergeron? Where is Barkov? Couturier? Marner is slowly turning into a defensive dynamo. Where are all the good defensive players?

WINGERS

Those guys are CENTERS

Who’s to say teams didn’t offer him more or try to trade for him ?

Like Jesus I’m not saying the guy is the greatest thing since sliced bread, but he is a good 4th line winger.

Looking across the Atlantic, Girgensons-Jost-Okposo honestly could be in the running for one of the best bottom 6 forward lines in the division.

I know our GM hasn’t given us much to talk about, but it’s tiring moaning about spending money on forward depth you can trust

Except none of them are centers.

When that key defensive line is out for a crucial faceoff to seal the win, who are you putting on the dot to take the draw?

Zemgus: career 45%
Jost: 39%
Okposo: 48%

None of them are closers

Are Pk has hit 80% once in the last 8yrs and that year ROR was here. We have been consistently in the bottom half of the league every year except that year and I think we were like 13th. I don't think there was a need for all the Larry's back.

Disagree. Whole heavily disagree.
His PK numbers blow, and that is supposed to be his claim to fame. He's a frigging disaster there.
He is purported to be a defensive ace against top 6 players, yet his EV TOI against top competition is only like 9:00..so clearly many top 6 players play 20:00+ TOI over their 2:00-3:00 PP TOi.
So, his defensive prowess is earned against Bittom 6 players.
Yippeeee!Such BS propagated by the spreadsheet analyst's.
His 14:00 TOI area complete waste of time.
Been saying it for years.!

Just so I know. How many fukin vacation days does a GM of the Sabres get?

Just getting weird, really looks like he wants players that want to be here, rather than players that are better. We start winning and show we want to win and players will come.
