Keep me posted please.
I'd like to hear what Derek Roy has to say about Lindy's firing.

1 1/2 hours and already 18 pages. Nice.

pages ? you have a pager ? show us a pic !!

Can we waive Leo now please
- Therat36

We can get something for Leo. Possibly a 2nd. Most likely a 3rd. Better than losing him for nothing and having to pay for half of it.

um try 4th 5th

I'm very happy with Ruff's firing but, as per usual, the Sabres only got it half right.

I have been a big time Ruff detractor. I think he has been extremely overrated but, I think having Darcy as gm really helped lead to Ruff's failure. The smart move would've been to fire both.

Baby steps, I guess. I mean, it took 16 years to fire Ruff, I shouldn't be greedy.

I keep hearing rumors that Rolston may be in line for the job. I'm sure he's a good coach and all but I'd really prefer to go outside of the organization. I don't hear a buzz about Rolston like I do with other up and coming coaches. It doesn't mean that there isn't one. It's not like I'm in any inner circles. If he gets the job, I'll support him. He just wouldn't be my 1st choice
- ZamboniMassacre

No to Rolston, we absolutely need some outside ideas. If they can't find a proven NHL winner then I'm for getting Jon Cooper.

Keep me posted please.

I doubt that he would say anything controversial. He's always been fairly classy. Probably will wish him the best or say something else that you're supposed to say. Vanilla.

So what are thoughts about McCormick being waved?

Can't happen anymore

I was going to boycott the season because of the strike and then this happened.

I hope that the Sabres are bringing Ruff upstairs to help with the management decisions and that they are not just parting ways....he brings a lot of hockey knowledge and he should help get rid of some of the deadweight on the team.

There are some sorry lads on this team that are getting some big dollars...it is one of the biggest payrolls in the NHL. McCormick should have gone to the minors a long time ago, but he will end up on another team in the East.

Although I like Ruff and Reigher, it does not look like they are folks that can win.

Leadership cannot be passive, when people tend to work only to survive from year to year, then there is no success. It is a recipe for collapse from within.
The economy sucks because no one is willing to take risks...the old guys running companies never want to change because they like the way things are and they want things to stay that way until they retire.......well that's not what sports is all about.
And that is also not what brought Terry Pegula success.

Not winning the Stanley Cup is one thing; not making the playoff still another;
Losing games on the road, ok; but not winning at home and not icing a team with grip and grind, or entertainment value, well that is just totally unacceptable.

The team has attracted Passive people and they in turn surrounded themselves with introverted people. Nothing against Reigher's ability or Ruff's coaching style. However, the players like Miller or Pomminville - they would not know how to yell at someone if they had to....their interviews put me to the sleep when I'm running on a treadmill. Ott is a move in the right direction, but not enough.

We need a few players with charisma and drive; and we need a coach like Tortellera or Roy to put some drive in and nails in the rears of a few other players. Maybe even Shoenfield.....to tell the refs to eat some more donuts....that would get the adrenalin going....instead I can fall asleep running on a treadmill watching these guys!

Use the minor team....give some of the no name players a chance...not just the prospects.....find out where your character guys are? be inventive? not Hechtive!

So what if we brought back Hasek and maybe even Satan and we had some controversy in the changeroom, maybe a couple of guys stepping it up, calling each other out and punching each other out. Maybe thats what Connolly and Roy did, but the first sign of extraverted behavior, we had to ship them out. So what if we pulled Connolly off waivers when he goes on re-entry?

Philadelphia thought they had the right idea last year....too much extroverted adrenalin here they said....lets get rid of Richards and Carter.....the introverted LA KINGS got that message and look what happened......I rest my case!

Rolston........another crappy coach to continue the free fall.

- SABRES 89

He's not my choice but, to be honest, I don't know much about him. I thought everybody liked it that he was hired for Rochester. I really want them to go completely outside of the organization.

As far as I'm concerned, the only addressed half of the problem. Darcy needs to go too
