Column: This Process is once again taking the Sabres on the road to nowhere
You can probably figure out who wrote this article just by the title. I'll confirm it, yes it's Mike Harrington.
It seems clear from the words and actions of Jason Botterill and Ralph Krueger – and thus, by extension, Terry and Kim Pegula – what is the mindset of the Buffalo Sabres.
Of course, they want to make the playoffs and snap the NHL's longest postseason drought. But as impatient as the fan base is and as cranky as the media can be (slowly raising hand), the general manager and the coach are on the same wavelength in one key area.
You've already heard and read it elsewhere before. The Sabres want you to Trust The Process.
They're out of their minds.
This is corporate-speak borne out of desperation. It's ridiculous. They want to act like there's no pressure here and that they're on a slow rebuild. Krueger even used the actual word "process" in the aftermath of the utterly disgraceful 5-2 loss to lowly Ottawa.
How many rebuilds does this organization need to figure things out?
Not a bad rant by Harrington, but I think mine was better.
