Kevyn would speak to the media but he’s currently managing a banquet in the Lexus room and they’ve ran out of shrimp. He’s dealing with that right now

Yeah it's pretty obvious what the flaws are, no mystery to me. The missing component to this team is an established GM. One who was put together a team with an identity and purpose. Starting with a hiring of a head coach who fulfills said identity. The Sabres problems are dysfunction, they keep doing the same thing over and over and expecting a different result. BE OWNERS AN LET SOMEONE WITH A WINNING PEDIGREE RUN THINGS FOR THE LOVE OF GOD!

I have to share, partially to laugh and partially to vent.

So a friend/relative/associate of mine sends me this article about the Sabres

https://thehockeythinktan...ralph-krueger-the-sabres/


It's basically an apology piece for the Sabres and suggests Ralph is the right guy, Sabres fans are impatient, this is about culture and we have to sit back and let Ralph punish the star players who aren't playing like stars.

So basically I'm being told I shouldn't want a better head coach, I should sit back and enjoy watching this guy punish star players while the Sabres sit in dead last AGAIN and the rest of the NHL jockeys for position for the playoffs. This from a team who TANKED to get said players and has made the playoffs 4 times in 20 years in a league that lets half the teams in.

It pissed me off because this guy has told me several times over the tenure of Pegula's ownership that I'm impatient, spoiled and don't know what I'm talking about. And it's going to "take time". lol

I listened to Krueger this morning and Jeremy White asked if they thought about giving Skinner a whole week with Jack and Krueger replied that they did that already.

Did that happen or is Krueger just totally gaslighting the fans? I dont remember him being on Eichel's line for a week unless he's creatively accounting for what constitutes a week

I think poopty coaches have a fantasy that what happens in practice counts for something. Like Skinner practiced a few times on the first line and get a couple shifts in a game and that counts.

It's pretty shocking to just straight up lie like that on something that is so easily fact checked. I guess he thinks we're all imbeciles

There's nothing they could say at this point that would mean anything to me. The only thing I want to hear is that they're selling part or all of the team.

I don't even trust them to hire a team president. They'll probably hire an idiot. Give up management to a minority owner, shut up and sign the checks. Enjoy the yacht

Which would also, at this point, be the laughing stock of the NFL, MLB and NBA. Is there a worse run franchise in the big 4?

Ralph is taking his system and smashing square pegs into round holes. Swing away all you want. This team ain’t built to play the way Ralph wants and it shows...
