Well, the 20-year-old seems to get it, so why do others not? I can’t even fathom how ownership isn’t so embarrassed by what they witnessed this past weekend that Ralph Krueger wasn’t fired immediately after the final horn. This team is not getting what he’s selling at all and if they haven’t remotely grasped it yet, they aren’t going to. Maybe he has players that can’t play his way, but he’s not going to change so it’s obvious it’s not working.

Krueger hinted he may break up the Rieder-Eakin Okposo line.

"What I have liked about that line is it's ability to play against any of the top lines of the other team for us. ... I have to tell you, honestly, that last game was possibly their most productive offensively ..."

Don’t you have to put a puck in the net, to get a point, to be “productive offensively” ... and weren’t they shut out in the last two games? Sssoooo how’s that work?

It’s just impressive to lie straight out and to not need secret sources to expose the lying. It’s coming right from the players openly. Pretty incredible really.

And let’s not get it twisted, coaches and executives mislead the press and fans all the time. Just that it’s usually a unified action to keep up appearances. That’s not happening this time and it’s making Ralph look bad.

I am a bit surprised that homie the clown and that other poster think Hutton is not a problem and that goaltending hasn't been a problem.

These posters I guess are hoping Hutton gets resigned because if Hutton is not a problem why wouldn't you resign him.


I have watched the last 3 years momentum get killed time and time again with bad goals. I guess I pay attention more than most.

This team didn't score today because they already gave up, the team gave up long ago. Watch at the beginning of the season the players shoulders when Buffalo has all the momentum in a tied game and Ullmark or Hutton let in a bad goal.

Maybe I am wrong and maybe homie is right. Maybe Hutton is not a problem and should be resigned. I am surprised he would think that though.

Who else here thinks Hutton should be resigned because goaltending is not a problem, so far buff36 and Homie think Hutton hasn't been a problem for the sabres.

You are right about CSNY though they were very good together.

Pearl Jam was really good every time I saw them. They always did covers for their encores. Their version of Baba O’riley brought the house down.

Nope nothing wrong with that. Down 2-1 and trying to get back in the game. Seems perfectly normal to have that happen. I am sure the team thought it was ok.



https://buffalonews.com/o...70-9a1b-b2a6275260f0.html

Nah, he doesn't need to make more saves. He is playing fine.

https://www.radio.com/wgr...y-well-in-front-of-hutton

What do you mean the sabres don't play well in front of Hutton? No, I can't be the only one seeing this?

https://thehockeywriters....ues-fixes-hutton-ullmark/

How dare the hockey writers point out goaltending is killing this team?

This one is from 2014. Its funny cause its still true now.

rochester in 91 stands out

- homiedclown


So if I remember correctly, the black crows played and were booed heavily.
Front man got hit with a shoe (not mine) in the face.

Warrant was next up and didnt play ?

Huge rain storm , the crowd pulled up the baseball tarp and hid underneath. The Baseball ( redwings) field was destroyed.

Aerosmith was unbelievable. Didn't even care that they were playing. They were the "old guys" that did the rap song with run DMC 🤔

Metallica waited hours to go on stage. I think it was a Lightning issue? Went on around midnight, played 8 or 9 songs and split.

We were on the floor for hours. Up front.
Metallica came on and we were crushed immediately. Had to literally fight our way thru the crowd. Watched the rest in the bleachers.

Sound familiar?

Unbelievable we can't score, we couldn't score last year or the year before that. Nobody ever said about not needing a upgrade, what was said is upper management isn't gonna do anything about it.

hutton stopped 36 of 39


they didn't score


I don't care for hutton, been vocal about wanting johansson to get his spot many times over the last 16 months



we don't score

stopping 36 of 39 is more then holding his own


they dont score

doesn't matter who is in net if you dont score



but focus on hutton bashing, he cost us the game today, right?



thanks for stopping by mrs krueger

Never said he wasn't a problem dumb ass, actually been calling for a upgrade for awhile know. Maybe if you read a post it would say goaltending is the least of are problems right know because if you can't score you can't win. What a tool.

Cool, I have calmed down on my concerts the last while with the Kids know. Good times, amazed I am still around with some of the sh!t I did back in the day at a lot of these concerts. When your young it's about the party and the Music, as you get older it's more about the music.

Great memories 👍

Saw megadeth , rick emmitt and hall and oats at art park. Queensryche at the rivera.

But, these past maiden, Metallica and def leppard were way better than I expected.
