I can’t see him in the nhl next year. He was so bad and gave very little effort.

Perfect ahl stud though

Eh. I think he gets a 1x1 to be a specialist.

They are Sabres employees and forced to talk nicely. Other wise pee pee slapped like Tim Murray
- Sabretooth9

Of course they are. It's just junk radio.

What do those contracts look like?

ya know, you listen to these shows.. One Bills Live, Sabres Live. The Bills talk doesn't really need to say anything too controversial, they're not really afraid to call people out on occasion either. It's not a dumpster fire on that side though.

Where you really notice it is on Sabres Live. Once situations become, I don't know, not good for a player or a staff member, they will essentially ignore it, or put a little make up on it.

What's even more brutal is you listen to After The Whistle, the few times where the guys spend a minute or two calling out "The Other Show" for towing the company line. You get real talk from ATW. You may not always agree with the points, but they call it as they see it and they're usually riding the same waves as the fans. They'll sit in the tsunami with you. Sabres Live? They'll watch it on tv, say well there's only a few injuries, we'll pray for them, let's see what Shayna Goldman has to say about league wide goalie trends!

It's pretty obnoxious, the disparity between real and don't offend Dear Leader.

I couldn't stand listening to Sabres Live this year. I flipped it on, on occasion, just to get a beat on how they're viewing and talking about the season. There was a point, and some of you may recall, that Duff refused to talk about (disparage) the PP and who was running it any longer. It's just offensive.

It's pretty indicative of how different "Dear Leader" runs two franchises.

The Bills are run like an investment. The NFL makes him do so because brand value is Priority#1.

The Sabres are run like his personal toy, because the NHL neither has the ability nor the vision to make him do otherwise. And as long as there are worse struggling markets occupying the majority of the league's attention, it will stay that way. Now that the Arizona mess has been resolved, for now at least, one can only wonder how long before Buffalo is finally on the league's radar.

Assuming he does well, do you think he transitions to a higher role after that?

Of course they are. It's just junk radio.
- TheSabresTaco

It sure is

Haven't listened to sabres live in a few years now aside from the random days id be pissed enough to turn it on or something like today. Sad a hockey town can't get a decent daily show on the radio

Assuming he does well, do you think he transitions to a higher role after that?
- QuinnFan

Yes I do. Due to his age. He’s 65.

Fix the teams in 2 years and get promoted to hockey ops.

Depends on if hes bringing in Appert or (hopeful) Peca. Would seem more likely if that is the case.

Yeah I don't think he'll be fired this time. He'll move into a senior advisor role of some sort

Worst kind of radio callers:

1.) Guy who calls in to talk about how he was right the last time he called in

ATW is a gift. It would be, I don't know, decent if WGR produced a Sabres centric show like Sal's Extra Point, which leans heavily Bills. And I like Sal. Bulldog's even ok.

ATW has much better content. I'm sure a few markets don't have team sponsored shows like Sabres Live, and even fewer have dedicated podcasts like ATW.

Is Paul from Buffalo all three of these guys/gals?

I don't blame people for being cynical. I personally believe they hired the right coach for this iteration of the Sabres. I'm not going to sit here like we won the McDavid lottery.

But he is everything this hockey board has demanded from the coach.

So let's see it in action.

let's hope it's the 2006 ruff

not the drop pass ruff

or the mair with vanek ruff

or the luke adam is our first line center ruff

How would we measure this (re)hiring a success? Would making the playoffs 2 years in a row with a 1st round exit be considered "success"?

Yes. I would argue they don't even have to win a playoff game for it to be a success
