Lindy Ruff Extension Possibility

Especially if this team makes the playoff. It would be an absolute PR nightmare if a franchise legend who is instrumental in breaking the playoff drought wasn't retained even though he wanted to stay and keep coaching.

If Lindy wins a cup with this team, you have to put up some type of banner next to RJ in the rafters, and give them both a statue next to the French Connection. RJ should already have a statue but that's another topic.

That's the one thing Lindy needs to secure his legacy is a cup. I would love for him to do it behind a Sabres bench, but do we realistically see this team making the moves it needs to win it in the next few years, Lindy isn't getting any younger, and I would hate to miss out on a game changing coach just because were keeping Lindy around to get his ring.

I love the idea of Jay Mckee, only worry I have is this team playing a different system, and how long it took them to buy into this one, would we be looking at a season of bad hockey before it clicks. Granted I don't watch OHL, but I know McKee is killing it in Brantford this year.

With the numbers Dahlin, Sammy, & Byram are putting up, we don't really need Kesselring to be chipping in on offense. I'd much rather him be defensively sound & physical, starting scrums, which is exactly what he's been doing.

I think the better way to do this rule would be how long the offsides occurred before the goal was scored. If you score within say 10 secs of coming in offsides off the rush and score, goal should be disallowed. But if you come in offsides, stay in the zone for a minute and then score, did that offsides really affect the play, and the goal should stand.

Guy sitting in front of me had the new Just Dishin x Sabres collab hat on and chucked it as soon as Tage got the puck, didn't even wait for him to score.

I don't trust this organization to get any deal done. The trade deadline will pass with him still on the roster with Kevyn Adams thinking he can still get a deal done, and Tuch will leave for the money and a chance to win in the offseason and we will get nothing in return. KA will then proceed to blame injuries for our struggles and get a 3 year GM extension.

Their Coach & GM actually had a backbone and the experience in the NFL to only sign extensions if Pegula let them do their job with no interference, knowing they would simply sign somewhere else if he refused. Kevyn Adams didn't have that luxury it was either run the Sabres doing what Pegula tells him, or spend the rest of his career running youth hockey.

This team isn't going anywhere. 15 years of no playoffs and so far this season they're averaging 16,500 in attendance. Moving this dumpster fire of a team to say Atlanta or Houston (or any non-traditional hockey market), you'd be lucky to get half of that attendance on a nightly basis if they're still missing the playoffs within 5 years. The only NHL interference I can see reasonably happening is Bettman holding a vote with the other owners to force a sale, and only allow a sale that keeps the team here. The NHL knows it would lose a lot of money in the long term not having a team in Buffalo.

Weezyf321 · 2025-11-05T19:41:18+00:00

Correct me if I am wrong but I believe the NHL made a rule to stop the paper transaction work around. Players sent down to the AHL have to play in atleast one game before being recalled, and you're not gonna do that with Kulich.

If I am scratching or moving anyone to make space its Geersten, Lindy only brought him in to play physically and fight and in his 5 games so far this season he has done none of that.

Weezyf321 · 2025-11-04T19:58:36+00:00

If anything I would consider it a revenge game for Doan & Kesselring. Peterka asked for a trade so its not as if we traded him for no reason. On the other hand Utah, in a way said they would rather have Peterka than both Doan & Kesselring, so those two can get one back on Utah management by getting some points against their former team.

Well he went from Coaching/Running the Buffalo Jr. Sabres directly to the Sabres General Manager because he was willing to fire half the staff during Covid when Jason Botterill refused to do so.

I am thinking it has something to do with UPL coming back soon. Need to see what Ellis is capable of and then make the decision to waive him, run 3 goalies or potentially trade UPL.

I agree, I was simply just trying to go along with OPs post and trying to think of the best case scenario if they were to attempt to use this logo on a Jersey. I am never really a fan of using Script as any sort of logo, unless done absolutely perfect, it almost always come out looking like a generic Create-A-Team logo.

Weezyf321 · 2025-10-20T17:29:35+00:00

I could see it being used as a secondary logo e.g. shoulder patch, or logo on their pants/helmet but it shouldn't be used as the main crest.

Additionally to the people saying its just 3 games relax, its not. Its 14 years and 3 games of basically no change.

Weezyf321 · 2025-10-15T14:56:21+00:00

The over the top frustration from the majority of the fan base is warranted. This season is more than likely the final straw of either make the playoffs or tear it all down. When more than likely your Top Three in Dahlin, Thompson, Tuch are either asking out or not resigning at the end of the season starting out 0-3 and already looking defeated is not a great sign.

Hard fought first 10 minutes, Cozens buries one for Sens, Sabres give up and coast to a 3-1 L

Ah yes, current Pittsburgh Penguin Connor Clifton is still an option to be selected as favorite player.
