They aren't very high on Catenacci from what I've heard.

Luke Adam was the AHL Rookie of the Year, like Ennis. I think Ruff ruined him.

are we going to blame ruff for everything?

95%

hence no playoff series wins in going on 6 seasons now

Agree. I'm just making the point that people crap on the guy who has barely had a chance while the "veterans" play the exact same way.

I'm told Jarome Iginla will not be dressed tonight vs. COL but that doesn't necessarily mean deal is imminent or close. Protecting the asset

Not that an injury is something to laugh at but it would certainly be amusing if they dressed him in the next game and he got hurt. Knowing Calgary's luck, it could happen

Remind me not to take Letang for any type of Fantasy Hockey game ever again. I feel like he spends more time on IR than he does on the ice.

I think he deserves some criticism for the handling of some players (57), yes.

Regier and the players themselves deserve most of the blame.

Do you even have to ask? That's just what sabres fans do, blame ruff even if it's not hockey related. I still blame Ruff for my first semester grades

WIth both Adam and Myers it seems to be a work ethic issue. As a coach, you need to figure out what buttons to push to get them motivated to do the things that they won't do on their own.

I have him in a roto league and he's now out another 7-10 days after just getting back from a week or so absence. I'm trying to decide if it's worth it to just hang onto him and be short a player at this point. There aren't really any good replacement options.

And it's the coach's job to do that. Rolston seems to be hitting a few more than Lindy did. But not a whole lot more.

some of the youth seem to like him but the rest are probably happy he's not ruff but considering last night, i think rolston is going to start being a psychopath and piss some players off sooner than later...

I'm supposed to replace Letang's 25 assists with a guy that has 3 or 2?

I have no problem with him becoming a psychopath. If they can't do what they're supposed to with him being a normal human being, then whatever it takes.

True. The other part is why they aren't responding to the coach and for those two I just think they were fed up with hearing about their mistakes from Lindy.

26/29/30 tuned that poop out years ago.
