gary roberts!?!?

haha

Just an IMO, I think Rolston is better fitted to coach youngsters.

That's what's gotten him to the level he's at right now. He worked a lot with the US National Development program.

I'd like of be interested in seeing what Housley could do though. He had a great run with the US WJC team.

Yea but Puppa has the best name to ever grace an NHL jersey

Well Bodger spelled in all caps on the back of the old jersey looked a lot like BOOGER.

False Tugnutt was better.

puppa, tugnutt, satan, hrudy.. they all were awesome jerseys

how many of those have we had in the last 14 years?
- SabresFaninIndiana

I would say how many of those have we had since 92/93?

Off the top of my head I can only think of 1.

And I would be wrong.

the way things are going we can only consider former sabres to replace ruff, correct?? (seriously, unfortunately)

was back reading, finally caught up. Been busy deep in thought lately.

Difference between him and Ruff:

Housley coached that team to win. Ruff coaches to not lose.

Even when they got up a lot on the scoreboard, they still sent everything they had at their opponent. I want a coach like that.

I wouldn't hate the Housley option though.

GF got into a bad accident last Wednesday and I got my Corrections Officer canvas letter in so kinda been deep in thought about the possible change in life style.

Housley was a skilled player.. ruff was a grinder... i think that carries through to their coaching as well..

IMO Housley would have zero problem winning games 7-6 or 7-5 night in and night out.


Ruff goes up 3-1 and goes in a defensive shell.

Perhaps. That WJC team was a lot of fun to watch. Last year it was pretty much unbearable. Different coach, different results.

Granted it was a much different team overall, but it seemed in general the entire culture around the team was so much different.

That or pegula's daughter or something ridiculous like that

It always does, just trying to see the path rather than just walking the path blindly.

with the last 2 seasons being a bust for Ovechkin...and this year starting the same....

does Stafford, Myers, 1st round get us Ovechkin?

EDIT: or something along those lines....

Bingo. Hence the love affair with not so skilled players....

That's a lot to think about, that's for sure. I'm sure you'll have a good life no matter what decision you make. You're willing to work hard for things in life.
