Should have been 5 and a game

Don't think it would have mattered much

He has a hearing with the DOPS

He gets a game...maybe 2

I'm excited. Pretty sure it's gonna be HC Grönborg with Hakstol and another assistant with HC experience like a Daryl Sutter-type (I know he's retired)

This is the sabres Things like this won’t happen ..

If anything hakstol Will be the coach and Taylor will be the assistant

And you will all see why the flyers hate him and started the Chant to fire him during the game

Maybe -maybe not it depends if VO is the real deal which I think he is

the coach is the wild card “if “ the ten games the team played together was true maybe it just needs to be unlocked by the right coach and get more players that Believe in the system

Yea 40 goals is so easy to replace. It’s like we are always saying, “I can’t believe how easy it is to find wingers for Eichel. I mean they did it with Okposo, Moulson, Sheary, etc etc.

Don't fret.

We have a top line center, one of the best defensive prospects in the league and some help on the way from the minors. Are we going to be good next year? No. We are still trending upwards.

Gronborg, Keefe, Tip. There are still options out there, even if Tip goes to the Oil Slicks.

Make Grönborg HC. Change jerseys to match team Sweden colors. 🇸🇪

Make a third Jersey that replicas Sweden’s 3 crown jerseys, only with three Buffalos/Swords.

Sign all the Swedes.

Win.

Don't worrrrrrrry so much. The writing is on the wall imo. Botterill and Grönborg will leave the WC with a contract. I'm fairly certain of it

He just seems like a good coach to me. I like a lot of the things he says.

Ex: When asked about dump and chase as a game plan, he laughed.

Anaheim is supposedly interested as well which concerns me.

I never said it could be easy but VO is a unknown factor he could be one of those players that just light it up and just hit 30 his first year

I like skinner a lot but he’s not worth 9-9.5 if he was a center like Matt Duchene then sure

40 goals is 40 goals regardless of position.

Sign him, whatever it takes.

You really dont think the Sabres will be good?

Shed more dead weight
A new head coach should equal at least 5 wins or more

I find it hard to believe with our talent, that were not on the bubble or better.

That’s great but I would rather spend 9m on a center the most important position

And trade Ristolainen for the winger then

I agree. It feels like this team spends the last 30 games of every year disengaged. More motivation wouldn't require more skill. Greater execution during the first half of the season would keep us in the hunt later in the year.

This is a good post:

Anyone have any concern over dahlin and coach beard having some issues?

I realize that dahlin was 17 at the Olympics, but was used sparingly. Now Gronburg couldn't really explain why dahlin didnt join them for the iih tournament?

Sounds like a little pouting or friction.

Hopefully dahlin is just tired from a long year.

McAvoy has a hearing with the DOPS
- Stripes77


Could have been a match penalty, however there is no provision for a major or a game misconduct. Not sure on the difference between a match penalty and a game misconduct. I would think that there will be a one game suspension since they announced he will be getting a phone call from DOPS. Looking at it in slow-mo it appears that the initial contact is the elbow to the chest and then the shoulder hits high. Anderson did turn at the last second too, otherwise it would have been shoulder on shoulder. Seeing their interaction in the handshake line, it didn't seem Anderson had any ill will towards McAvoy.

I wouldn't read into it further than this, personally. Maybe he has a minor nagging ailment, or maybe he's just tired. I remember Eichel saying he was wiped out after his rookie year. He's been going non-stop for a year

That's what I'm hoping, but coach beard acted like he wasnt sure why dahlin wasnt joining them.

Probably a bad communicator.

A Match penalty carries a 5 and a Game misconduct plus an automatic hearing with the DOPS
