Buffalo Sabres have lost 12 in a row.

I'm glad they lost again after the owner showed up. It's a nice FU.

Sabres need to fire Adams for thinking Ruff was the solution

Hiring Lindy Ruff is from the same philosophy as hiring Kevyn Adams.

 

[Shakir ONeal]

This is gonna be a tuff postgame for ruff

 

[EpochLink]

What was the point of hiring Lindy Ruff again?

 

[BlackAdam]

There's still 2 min left. Sabres can still come back

 

[sxvnert]

What was the point of hiring Lindy Ruff again?

He's the only experienced coach desperate enough who would take the job.

Sabres need to fire Adams for thinking Ruff was the solution

I mean was that Adams that thought Lindy was the solution or was that the owner?

 

[Brookbank]

At this point it wouldn't surprise with if the league intervenes under the table and gets a certified old boys club member to be the GM and another old boy coach.

 

[BlackAdam]

Does Buffalo want Reaves and Domi for Dahlin?

 

[Fire Sweeney]

What was the point of hiring Lindy Ruff again?

Prepare the players for the arrival of Scotty Bowman.

Just bought a New book about the current Sabres

Vancouver fans thought that Aquaman was awful and now he looks like a genius

Pegula's not selling, so you'd hope he realizes he has to run the Sabres more like the Bills and has a moment like Aquillini

Hire the right people and leave matters to them

 

[DapperCam]

Ruff is interesting

He was seen as a coach that peaked years ago then randomly had a really good year in New Jersey

Now that year looks like such an anomaly

Ruff is far from the problem. I don't think any coach really makes a difference in this situation.

Also Adams didn't let him pick his own assistants. It's literally all the guys from the previous HC.

 

[Turin]

So funny how Jason Botterill was given like 5 minutes and he was fired but Kevyn Adams can just coast after trading Eichel, Mittelstadt and making the team worse than it was in 2020. Granted Botts did deserve to get fired just for hiring Ralph Krueger, but still.

2020 Sabres: Eichel, Reinhart, Dahlin, Thompson, Montour, Mittelstadt, Rodrigues. The core WAS ALL THERE. They just needed a real coach and to spend on some role players.

 

[PeE eL DuBoiS]

Kevyn Adams will have been Sabres GM for 5 years in June. He's gone through 3 coaches and traded away players like Eichel, Reinhart, Montour without significant improvement to the team. How he still has a job is beyond me.

The fact that he even made it to adulthood with the first name Kevyn is proof enough that he's defying the law of averages.

 

[Leafidelity]

I dont think enough is said about how terrible Owen Power is, and how much the Sabres needed to hit on that 1st overall pick

 

[StreetHawk]

Sure…. See what that does. I doubt waiving guys at the bottom of the roster will do anything. Are they going to waive someone who’d for sure get claimed?

Until Pegula steps back the team is done. Buffalo needs a hockey guy for president of operations.

They decided not to go out and get a veteran pro to pair with him and are reaping the rewards.

he'll go to another team and blossom like Reinhart did

 

[jkrdevil]

It's odd how NFL Pegula is significantly more well-regarded than NHL Pegula. Product aside, I can't remember negative national news about him wrt the Bills.

He fell into good front office hires there. He also made the Rex Ryan hire when he first bought the team which screams like a lot of his Sabres moves.

Well he did train extensively in aggressive home defense at a young age......
