Here's hoping. The Sabres fans, well let's say Buffalo fans in general need a break. I've been around long enough to have seen the team when times were good. Amazing hockey town. And football. Even better if they can somehow limit the "I love myself" Leafs fans that invade their building.

How many accounts do you have Eklund?
All 2 positive posts are obviously his.

I don’t see an issue giving the guy a shot. He could turn out to be the best hire of the year. He may make a very positive impact and further the team towards the playoffs.

Not: he’s the greatest coach hire of the year. Oh my God has Buffalo outdone themselves now. This is unbelievable... the best thing that happened to Buffalo since they won the draft lottery.

I mean, good for the Sabres I guess, but way to overhype something like this. Must be a slow news day.

Man, the Atlantic is a ridiculously good division already, and I don't think it will take long for the Sabres to join the Bolts, Leafs, and Bruins and conference best teams.

Thank god there are a few real trash teams like the Wings and Sens to give these teams a break every once in a while.

Is there no talk about OHL MVP Nick Suzuki putting up the 3rd most dominant OHL playoff in the past decade just behind Marner and McDavid?




I guess because he's a Habs prospect lips are sealed

Dude, if you're going to post a gif of That's Incredible, at least have the courtesy to have Cathy Lee Crosby in it.

Sheesh.

Not to dismiss this hiring .... but if Krueger was that 'incredible', why wasn't he scooped up a month ago by other teams looking for a coach (including the Sabres), or last offseason, or the year before?

To claim the hiring is 'incredible' sounds a little hyperbolic.

He may be one of the best coaches to ever coach the game, period. I think we can all agree that he's probably 2nd only to Dallas Eakins.

Umm, so the wings and Ottawa are trash but buffalo will be competing for conference best teams? You realize that buffalo has been every bit as bad as the two you listed, and for longer despite continued high draft picks and coaching change after coaching change. Dipshidiot

yes, I see the Sabres as a team with the tools to start competing soon. the Wings are nowhere close, and the Sens are not only nowhere close, but are such a mess they are in their own class. they should be relegated to the AHL, and still might not be a playoff team there.

*yawn*

Another midget hab in the works. The guy is almost 20. top prospects have moved on from juniors by his age anyway. most of the first round of his draft class is in the NHL.

Because he was expessively looking for a high up management position.
There was no such positions available so coaching was his 2nd choice.

Lol pretty bold statement to say he’s the best coach hired so far this offseason. So far there have been 3(four including him).

Go track down something interesting. I’m sure there a new lead somewhere from one of ‘YOUR SOURCES ‘ regarding that a Malkin trade is about to happen any minute as he wants to be the ‘MAN’ .

Honestly, I’m watching the Russia/Italy game right now and they said there will be a huge announcement regarding Malkin after the game.

HUGE if true .

More to come...
