I'm with you. I like buffalo. However, the talk about getting rid of Ruff seems more angry at the situation than at him. Go ahead guys, fire him. I'm sure another struggling team will love to pick him up. Grass isn't always greener.

Another Non-Buffalo fan telling us how we are supposed to feel about our team. How about 42 years, no stanley cup. 14 years of Lindy, no Stanley cup. Sure he might succeed elsewhere, but we cant sit here and be afraid "oh god no we cant let Lindy go, he might win a cup somewhere else". Cause he aint winning one here.

i do agree with that guy that sometimes the grass isnt greener on the other side.

at the same time, i agree with you buff fans, and yeah, sometimes you gotta switch up the coach because its a lot easier than switching up 5 players +.

i think buff will be fine they are just in a funk.

I can't keep up with all the blockbuster trades that went down.... Can someone give me an update on all the trades?

Ek said it would happen, right?

Darcey and Lindy will stay

Players will be moved first

Players got to go

You have to bear in mind, new owner didn't inherit a bad team like the Isles or something. He took a competitive team, promised its fans MULTIPLE Stanley cups. Locked up the coach for 7 years and several new and core players long term.

They are now a few loses away from their worst stretch of hockey since 1970, our first year.

The GRASS HERE IS BROWN PAL! BURN IT! BUUUUURRRNNN IT!

he is over a point a game...

honestly, what more do you want? serious question.
- Neiler

Sure. He is a good hockey player. Pominville may get you the points but I fail to see his leadership qualities when he is on the ice. I fail to see the team act like there is any accountability, which is something a captain should be instilling. I view pommer is the guy everybody likes and wants to be the capatin but not the guy that everyone needs as a capatain. He's a finesse guy. The sabres play a terrible version of his overall game

All I'm saying is that I have been saying this for weeks....read my blog... Seriously, weeks

Usually when coaches don't win for years and years with competitive teams they lose their jobs. Does any Buffalo fan understand the reason why Ruff is so incredibly untouchable? From where I stand, no employee on the planet deserves to keep his job after failing for that many years.

- JerryKorab

who's going to make the trades?

If darcy is waiting for other GM's to break down his door and overpay for the Sabres scrubs, it's going to be a long wait


besides Darcy said the market isn't right, Darcy is currently the only guy overvalueing this bunch of losers

When the Sabres had a strong capatin, the sabres were good

Driere? Peca?

or the year they went to the conference finals with a rotating C ?

I used too be the Biggest Roy supporter on here... But now I am legit pissed at his shenanigans.. GTFO dude!

Kevin Freiheit: Ruff Running Out of Time?
- KevinJames

Do not fire Lindy Ruff. This team is just not giving any effort, he can't force them to play if they don't want to. Don't waste the best coach this franchise has ever seen because of it. What we need is to get some new blood. Darcy on the other hand...............

I thought Staffords right hand was the biggest "Roy supporter"



Don't post that picture !!!

If Staff got off of Roy's line... His production would sky rocket.... I guarantee...

All you hear around town is "Why is this guy so untouchable". I dont think he is the worst coach ever or anything, but he treated like he is so sacred. And he never won us or anyone the cup. I dont get it.

and this team with a different coach will do that
- JoeSabre

Don't know, but I feel confident this coach with any group of players here won't do that, so what's the difference??

Driere? Peca?

Drury was the Real Captian and yes Peca was a very good captain.

I always said it should have been vanek....another wise decision by the epic coach

- T_Cane0

and this means what exactly to Buffalo?? That if he could win somewhere else then he would have done it here? Sorry, doesn't work that way.

As another Sabre poster said a bit ago, Ruff almost won it with a few good players...but to me that's not Ruff's doing, that's the players (Hasek and the two that got away).

i think so too, Ithat's why I would move Roy and see what happens with Stafford

reality is that they are probably a package deal

Drury was the Real Captian and yes Peca was a very good captain.
- Full Throttle

Drury is sitting on his couch right now eating potato chips... Call him up, give him the C and let him play on a line with Gerbe And Staff...
