what the f*** is buffalo doing

Ah yes, the old boys club strikes again. Why hire fresh blood when you can hire someone who has been fired from coaching multiple times.

 

[Vector]

Maybe the best coaching market I've ever seen and that's who they choose to go with. Gallant, Woodcroft, McLellan, Evason, and Berube are all out there and perfectly suited (maybe not Woodcroft) to get the Sabres going.

 

[Burke's Evil Spirit]

What a terrible hire in Buffalo I wonder if the owner pushed for this.

As I mentioned when Granato was fired, Kevyn Adams is a *terrible* GM.

I mean they did hire fresh blood many times it didn’t work. Lindy’s a people’s coach, I think he’ll do a good job with that Buffalo core.

McLellan seemed like a no brainer to me. How do you go back to Lindy Ruff after his stint with the Devils?

Edit: Took a quick trip to the Buffalo forum and they seem really happy with this hire so idk

Devils were quite good last year, and would've been fine this year if they got a goalie before it was too late.
Ruff should be able to do well with this Buffalo roster.

Are we doing an Oilers hate watch GDT in here like their board did?

No.

 

[Mr. Canucklehead]

On Buffalo - I thought I was being punk'd or something for a moment. The hell are they doing?

It’s a big decision for Adams. Has to be PO with Ruff and soon otherwise he’s also getting fired.

I’m happy to join you. A chefs kiss playoff run would be the Canucks making the 2nd round while the Oilers get dummied in the 1st and McDrai request a trade. It would be glorious. Go LA

 

[Just A Bit Outside]

Just move the Sabres to Arizona already.

Im the opposite - I want Edmonton to beat LA so we can crush them in the 2nd round. Will make it that much sweeter.

The really weird anti-Canucks stuff in their Around The League thread is really just 8-10 committed posters who don't talk about anything else. It's just one of those things that happens on message boards. Most Oiler fans are presumably normal. Most hockey fans in general are. We don't need a hate watch thread, and if the Oilers, Leafs, etc won a cup would any of us really be that bothered by it? I think I'd be over it in five minutes.

We have a life

Go Abby go

 

[bandwagonesque]

Also, has anyone else noticed a lot of posters that get really angry about other teams turn out to be old and retired?

 

[Ace of Hades]

I hate both the Kings and Coilers but I rather see the Kings win here. Hopefully both teams pummel each other.

 

[Peen]

Can’t be bothered to hate watch while my team is in the playoffs

I am curious to see how LA fares in their third attempt at beating Edmonton here.

They’ve made moves to better them. Wonder about job security.

 

[Josepho]

hate watching is elite idk what yall are on about

I'm not convinced Talbot is the answer in net, and I think McDavid and Draisaitl are the kind of human cheat codes who can break through the 1-3-1 almost on their own.

Edmonton just needs their D and G to not shit the bed, and I think they can make short work of this one.
