Watched a lot of hockey this season and compared to other teams, the Sabres seem to have no energy or coordination other than on the top line. I’ll admit I’m a relatively new fan of the game, but I don’t see much in Ruff. Or Tyler Myers for that matter. Is he really one of the most highly paid D-men? Sabres need more speed and playmaking in lines 2, 3 & 4. Ott was a good pick-up, though. That’s my 2-cents’ worth.

Pommer was the one who suggested it after playing with him during the lockout in Germany. Are you ready to get rid of him?? Didnt think so.

As a long time fan.. I can finally say if Lindy doesn’t get this team to the Conference finals.. He should be fired. The players don’t seem motivated at all and whoever decided that Hecht should be resigned should follow him right out the door.. The guy is deadweight

I’ll be at the game Thursday night.
I think we will see a little of everything…goals, hits, fights.
Boston-Buffalo turning into a nice little rivalry….

I agree with everything you have stated except for the Ruff being a good coach part. Who gets to coach this long preaching the same BS with zero results? FIRE RUFF!!!!!

I am pessimistic about Ruff’s abilities to get the most out of his Roster. I don’t think he will allow Grigorenko the Ice time or freedom to demonstrate his ability. Ruff is a good coach, but struggles with offensively creative players. He is committed to his system regardless of the players he has.

Looking forward to the Buffalo-Boston game later this week. Old time hockey.
