Kevin Freiheit: Boyes Set To Improve

Would have gladly taken him as Knuble's replacement on the 3rd line with some PP duty as well. Friggin McPhee is still asleep for the summer

Kevin Freiheit: Boyes Set To Improve

He had all chance to do that last season. You would have thought if you are going into your final year of your contract that you would work your tail off to get back to your old form to get a big contract. He's too slow. Yes he's good on shootout's but that's about it.

So is he better as a center or a winger?

It's ok to yell at him as long as he gets a pat on the back when he deserves it. Sounds fair. Now, someone remind me when he deserved one.

When your coach goes out of his way to pat guys like Matt Ellis on the back for virtually doing nothing, I can see why these guys hate Lindy, he was the same way with Adam Mair. The talentless guys get all the praise but the stars get publicly trashed

Leino will improve greatly this year.. If the Sabres keep him at wing and not switch lines like lindy does with his bras...

Its new freaking coach time. I think Lindy's style of handling situations is whats keeping Terry's dream of hockey heaving from coming true.

Amen, it's not a coincidense that more players keep speaking out against him, I also know someone who plays hockey with Todd Marchant, he said Lindy is one of the more hated coaches in the NHL, part of the reason free agents dont usually sign here.

Combined with Boyes' comments, yes.

Leino would improve if we got rid of Lindy Ruff.

Totally beleivable. The guy is so hard headed. But he is an institution here. Anyone who knows anything about "competitive" envoronments knows you cant have everyone else changing and then one guy who is untouchable.
