In my grown up life the sabres have had only one coach. and I know that in the last 2 weeks buffalo has gotten a little boost, and maybe from the coaching change, but i was actually hoping for a real coaching change. I mean realistically only half the team had to get a new coach. All the young guys who came up from rochester have already played a lot of games with Rolston as their head coach, and it's not like rolston was amazing in Rochester. I don't think he is the answer. There may not even be a coach who can turn this group of players into a cup winning team. If you have an amazing team and a good coach you can win the cup. If you have a good team and an amazing coach you can win the cup. If you have a good team and a good coach you can't. I you have a decent team and a good coach you can't. skip down a few more slots to the sabres.....not very good coach and a semi skilled team.
Doesn't Pegula see that we do not even have a realistic chance to make the playoffs with the way we are now, let alone achieve everyone real goal as to win the cup. We had the best chance that regier is ever gong to give us with briere and drury, and we still could not make it happen, so what makes him think that we are going to get this done with Darcy making our draft picks. He has made a few good trades these past couple years, but Buffalo has a way of ending a players chances at being great. Leino, Leopold, Stafford, just a few of the many sabres who could have been really good if they come across darcy's radar.
I guess a team run by a Darcy, a Lindy, and a Terry aren't meant to be great.
