These are the best of the best hockey talk videos available. Your videos make my day thank you. I enjoy your hockey talk more than watching the team play.
In retrospect, Lindy not being allowed to bring his own staff was a severe red flag. I think it should be demanded of the Sabres that Ruffs own contract be made public, so we know just how much of his salary is being paid by New Jersey. The Montreal game speaks a metric ton. The owner met the team, and they responded with a 6-1 hammering by the then worst team in the conference. It’s 3 losses later and they still won’t act.
Our GM said "Welcome aboard Lindy, but you must have my assistants?" I read a great autobiography by Chuck Know (former Bills head coach) and he said when he went to new teams, he often fired very good assistant coaches that were already there, because he wanted to coach with people he knew - which the head coach should be allowed to do.
@horaceball5418 My first thought is probably pressure. 2nd is pride 3rd is attitude.....they have get to the mind-set of ....let's go put on a 60 min effort, this is our house-it isn't going an easy night for you .
Yes, the losing would get some staff/management fired but any other team someone would have been gone at the 8 - 10th loss. The biggest laugh was instead of firing someone, they got a speech from the owner, and an easy day off without practice.
I don't know anything about Mr. Pegula, but my hope is he talked to them to get feel before lowering the boom. If he is a billionaire, he must be pretty smart and he wanted more intel before blowing it up.
2111 wilbe a good year in New York state as that's the year the Islanders will finally pay off the Rick Dipietro contract. 😊 Merry Christmas everyone. 😋
Waynsey!!! I couldn’t sleep and I just happened to see this. Couldn’t agree with you more. Change is scary but needed. What do we have to lose? Merry Christmas brother 😎🎄🎄🎄
Im defanately laughing,then crying ,this team has made me Bi-polar im all in on whoevere can make the Sabres great again Wayne comon youre a Bills fan!!!
The team has a lot to improve no doubt, but most of these games (9 of 13?) have been by a single goal (minus EN). If Cozens and Quinn alone would barely show up we'd be .500 over the last 13.
I hate to be the bearer of bad news, but we may need to revisit the calculation on when Lafferty will break the goal scoring record. Sadly, that once thought unbeatable Record will fall when Ovi breaks it and set a new standard fairly soon. I’m not saying that Sam doesn’t have a shot, but we need to wait until Ovechkin hangs up his skates to get an undated target date.
Great point and it entered my mind ... I respect your Ovi very much but I am hoping he does not break the Great One's record. If he does, our Sammy might have to play until he is 125.
Worst part of this losing streak is that I went to Vegas (from maryland) to go see my girlfriends family and they watched the sabres with me since they knew I was really passionate about it and I wanted to get her little brother into hockey. Let’s just say it was one of the most EMBARRASSING things I’ve ever experienced. They had to sit through the worst hockey I’ve ever seen the Sabres play and they STILL haven’t won a game since I got on the flight. It’s even worse since I’m not a football fan and they’ve won more games in this stretch when they play 16 a season.
I hope they beat the consecutive losses record for the franchise. I believe 18, right? It's when things get lower and lower the fun will begin on how this franchise mentally handles things. The season is basically shot, now we see whose the first to point fingers and who gets axed. It won't happen until after the holidays. Why ruin the holiday for someone...lol
I am very old and remember when Bethlehem Steel in Buffalo laid off about 10000 people a few days after Christmas in 1982. That was a very sad day in Western New York.
Don’t get me wrong Wayne, I’m very happy with the acquisitions we made and the up grade to the Bottom 6 too. Minus the logjam we have now anyways. Those “Extra” pieces we have could have been traded away for prospects, or as I’ll point out in my main gripe with what Adams DIDN’T do, and that’s address the hole in the Top 6. I know they were hoping along with all of us that Peterka was ready, but it’s looking like he still needed one more Middle 6 season before he was 1st Line material. Had Adams cleared out the Extra guys on both offense and defense, using them as trade assets to land a really good Top 6 Forward, we’d be in slightly better shape. As far as “What if guys are injured? That’s why we have those “Extra” guys!” go, that’s where our Kids an hour up the road come in and could be given a real shot to see if they’re ready, instead of losing confidence and value spending 4-5+ years in Rochester. This isn’t a rant comment by any means, it’s just my pure observation of what Adams should (and probably does) know already.
I did cancel my ESPN+ subscription to save some money since watching the the games was not worth it. I am also at the point of just laughing it off, it's better for your sanity, and I'm glad I'm no longer stressing over the results. I hope they get better, but if they don't, oh well.
Wayne don’t listen to these clowns complaining about your political views. This is your channel and those are your views! Double down Wayne don’t cave to their crap! Go Sabres!
Honestly, all you can do is laugh. 13 straight and not a single substantive move to try to pull out of this nosedive. This is not a serious hockey organization. 😒
Time to cut ticket prices and trade for a bunch of goons, we need entertainment! Trying to build a winning team has failed for too long, perhaps giving up would be the best route to success.
Wow! What a move to refund some money to the season ticket holders (the corporations don't want to because they need the write off) and make prices cheap.
Wayne is forgetting that everyone in the comments was screaming that this team was far worse than last years a month into free agency and they didn’t make any other additions. Zucker and some bottom line guys was never the answer. I think almost 90% of the ppl that follow this channel knew this was going to be a rough year in Buffalo.
Last place the league. Dead last. As long as sheeps keeps on going to the games, the cash flow keeps on going aswell for Pegula and nothing changes. Not rocket science.
@@mikephalen3162 The commenter singled out Trump supporters which made his plea of leaving politics out of hockey podcasts totally insane and hypocritical. That’s my point. Not that hard to comprehend 😂😂😂
I hoping that the only reason there hasnt been any firing - trades is because of christmas! Lets see what Pegula does after Christmas , if there are no trades or firings then we are in trouble, although at least we should get a top3 Draft pick😊 Pollieve Wayne, really? 🤮🤢🤮 bye bye $10 a day daycare ! Liberals will bounce back when they get rid of Trudeau
Wayne , your government definitely needs to follow suit with the US. The woke stuff has gotten out of hand. And on the sabers yes I am impressed that we seem to always break records. Honestly breaking another record this year is what is going to push the sabers into a corner to have to make a move and change something...
It’s time to boycott the Sabres. They aren’t worthy of our time or money. I am sick about the time and money I have wasted on this organization. Some of my earliest memories of life was watching the Sabres with my dad (yes, back to 1972). I can’t support the Sabres anymore, at least until they are serious about being in the playoffs and champions.
Agreed. I give content creators who are outside of the political commentary sphere one pass. Second time I hear politics on something like a hockey channel, I’m out forever.
I really really really wish you hadn't talked about politics. Be clear that the majority of Americans have decided that they'd rather than America's first dictator than continue with our democratic republic. You really want that for Canada?
I think Trudeau already demonstrated Canada has a tyrant in office with his crackdown on free speech through human rights courts, freezing assets and banning support for truckers peacefully protesting and unilaterally confiscating guns from law abiding Canadians without a legislative vote. He has truly shown his Castro adoration in his disregard for citizens rights. It's a joke that Netanyahu can't even visit Canada without being arrested on the grounds of some biased international court with no jurisdiction or authority in sovereign matters of individual countries

No worries we are about to see hockeys greatest comeback. Go Sabres!
Eat, drink and be merry, the Sabres are BACK!
Home record 😢😢😢
Special teams 😢😢😢
Losing streak 😢😢😢
I'm still waiting to wake up from this nightmare.
You must love the road record!
@horaceball5418 haha not even. But problem is we don't protect our home ice
@@Sabres1970 why can't we win at home? What is your opinion?

An Indian proverb about change is this:

Lafferty was brought in to be a 4th line center. 20+ point guy. 100+ hits guy. In the top 50 in fatest burst skating last season.
Im defanately laughing,then crying ,this team has made me Bi-polar im all in on whoevere can make the Sabres great again
Wayne comon youre a Bills fan!!!
I agree we need to convert him to the Blue Collar tough Buffalo instead of San Francisco.
We need coach Morris from the bad news bears😂
Hey buttercrud!
LOL LOL and Tanner on defense!
Rudi Stein as the pitcher @@horaceball5418

He’ll have to beat Cody Eakins record
By 2111 the NHL will have changed the rules so OT goals wilbe worth treble! 😉
Great point and it entered my mind ... I respect your Ovi very much but I am hoping he does not break the Great One's record.
If he does, our Sammy might have to play until he is 125.
@ I hate seeing that Record broken too.
Lottery time again
I laugh at myself for still caring lol
