Ralph KruEger hired to coach the Sabres

[Chainshot]

And for those of us who have no idea who this person is... who is this and why should we care?

It's on Twitter, so it must be true. By the way, she shared this additional insight:



Well darn, one former player called him a loser. He must be the worst ever.

The former Sabres don't know Krueger. He not their pals. He doesn't owe them anything. Krueger could do something crazy like say why don't we hire the most qualified people?

 

[Myllz]

Random unknown person says something without any substance, supposedly sourced by someone she won't name, who apparently isn't even involved in the organization anymore and may or may not even know Krueger.

"Better post that on HF!"

The former Sabre was Phil Housley.

was going to ask who the 'vegan winer' is. ROR I guess. Say what you want about him but he makes a nice Riesling.

I’ve been very impressed by his playoffs and I’ve been a veg myself although less strict but healthy mind body is tough without sun in buff.. I’m echoing our damaged base but we will never know what happened.. maybe he hit on Kim before driving thru the wall on his organic wine bender.. But it’s nearly old news and I love Eichel Skinner grit.. and hope mitts and the magic giraffe learn from auditing nhl courses and sniff the weight room because of our new big chief..and all learn from the calm Rasmus Dahlin .. Say 70 pt Sam and We May have reasons for optimism with this pick free agency and beyond. The Pegulas certainly got the Bills hire right.. We live in the age of parity and also suspect the team won’t try to hit the goalie the last twenty games and have the coach that can actually hold these rich entitled world travelers accountable and actually make in game adjustments inside an attacking system that our team buys into that protects our goalies etc..

Carli Zielinski is Phil Housley's Sister In Law.

Now if she would just figure out how to spell her own name properly...

Or is it Carlita? But hey, she's being discussed on HF Boards, and that has to be every gal's dream...

She looks like she has many opinions and that picture is worthy of an opinion as well although I’ve already been distracted by a piece of lint.

Shes my friends cousin whose nothing more then a fan....of football.

This is roughly the equivalent of PoKeMoN_Dude_420 giving Krueger the thumbs down because his uncle’s neighbor works for the Sabres.

I’m largely ambivalent to the hire until I see proof of what we have, but this is just twitter garbage.

 

[Tatre]

Oh no, she's asking for annoying retweets with that one.

We don't know if he's going to be good for us yet; seems weird to have a strong opinion based on anything but a vibe.

 

[hizzoner]

We hired a coach who said the right things last year about the style of play he wanted. He knew how to play that style. He could not get the ship turned around and theD Zone coverage was below abysmal. I have no idea about Krueger's present coaching ability--tabula rasa-as it were. I cannot critique a blank page. So other than he is not Nolan, Bylsma or Housley I have nothing to add.

Kruger on The Instigators right now.

Saying they'll have a full staff by the end of June. Is overwhelmed by the amount of applications he's received, some guys he never expected.

The zamboni driver looking for a promotion?
That's good to hear, though. He sounds very natural today.

I heard a good chunk of the interview. It was a good listen. I know words only go so far but I like what I hear when he speaks.

Looking at history, Ralph has been anything but a loser

IKR? He has a lot ot hang his hat on professionally as a coach and builder away from the NHL.

[UnleashRasmus]

I definitely can appreciate, his candor and his intelligence was very evident. I loved his presser. He is definitely a much needed improvement to the Captain Caveman approach (Houseley).

 

[Chainshot]

Talking defensive scheme in that YT video around 13:45 (Marty asking the question). Nothing overly in-depth, but it's there.

Here's some more insight from this brilliant mind:



Yeah, I'll take what she has to say with a grain of salt.

It's times like this that I regret, momentarily, not having the ability to weed these things out of a thread.

Momentarily.

If I had to read the tweets, you must all suffer with me.

More on topic... thanks for pointing out the answer about defensive coverage. I enjoyed his response. The discussion seemed very natural to him.

 

[Fjordy]

LMAO How dumb is she.

 

[SabresSharks]

Coach. Chairman. Whatever.
