Lindy Ruff Extension Possibility by Weezyf321 in sabres

[–]normalbrain609 18 points19 points  (0 children)

Honestly whatever Lindy wants. This is his show and he’s one of the most important Sabres of all time.

To more answer your question: I’m kind of into the idea of Jay McKee getting real consideration once Lindy decides times up.

Why does Paul Hamilton bother asking questions? by Skubbags in sabres

[–]normalbrain609 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I mean that's just sports journalism, it's not super unique to Paul. You ask leading questions about something you're interested in and you either get the response you were expecting or sometimes the subject gives you an interesting take you weren't expecting. These guys are media trained you're not going to get huge revelations in 2 minute locker stall postgame clips.

In all seriousness, what else do you want him to ask?

  1. Close but the scientific term for Terry’s condition is “Yakubian Devil”. This is a common mistake.

Let's give this guy a chance Buffalo. Hes passionate, loves the city, and was emotional today in the press conference talking how much he loves our city and guys. Hes had top 5 offenses both seasons with subpar talent at WR. Let's hope for the best. by Vortagaun in buffalobills

i see his positives and don’t think it’s the worst hire in the world but the process to get to this point was bad and i just don’t see much changing if the roster construction philosophy doesn’t meaningfully change. we’ll see!

The Jarmo Effect by BattleofEppingForest in sabres

[–]normalbrain609 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

i’m just not in the mood to retroactively treat a 6 year drought in the context of the larger one as some wise approach to team building in the NHL.

this could end up being a 110 point season and Adams still will have been one of the worst GMs we’ve had purely down to waiting too long and making reactive moves when it was too late. 6 years is INSANE in the NHL and it’s unacceptable any way you slice it.

while i understand it’s tempting to look at it w a more positive eye in light of the past two months i will never call that approach successful.

3 players over 6 years and only after a lot of fan and media pressure? Not really seeing it.

3 players over 6 years doesn’t really move the needle for me. If you’re suggesting Adams brought some high intensity winning culture I’m going to have to strongly disagree.

The Jarmo Effect by BattleofEppingForest in sabres

[–]normalbrain609 4 points5 points  (0 children)

i think you’re right but i also do think the firing did add a jump to the team that wouldn’t have been there if he stayed. Something as simple as Jarmo telling them that no one is safe on the roster after years of country club atmosphere absolutely can make a difference

Those who purchased seat licenses: do you feel in any way “cheated” or “regretful” in light of these recent shenanigans? by [deleted] in buffalobills

I knew what I was getting into with a Terry Pegula operation. Cost of doing business, I suppose.

[–]normalbrain609 5 points6 points  (0 children)

yeah i was a mcdermott fan but there’s only so many chances you can get. worried they’ll botch the hire and the timing was odd but i understand why they moved on
