The point is, there was a time when a lot of posters on this site wanted him gone, and now they're mad because he is gone and doing very well with the Panthers.

Since when does the GM make decisions on what position a player plays on a given night? Will Danny Briere decide which position Ristolainen is going to play every night?
- RichardRoma

Where did I say he made the decision, I said ask him why he was there, he does talk with his HC right.

Samuelsson back on the ice
- Buff36

Finally clipped his hang nail I see, hang nails are a hard " injury" to come back from.

Something Buffalo needs to think about, think you need another top 3 D just because of the ? marks health wise Samuelsson brings at this point.

Sabres fan logic:
- Trade Montour for a 1st or 2nd in the 2020 Draft!
(Adams didn't trade Montour)
- WHY ARE WE KEEPING MONTOUR!?!
(Montour gets traded several months later and "takes off" with the Panthers)
- WHY DIDN'T WE KEEP MONTOUR?!?!! FIRE ADAMS!!!!!!!

- RichardRoma



Yes, all Sabres fans said this exactly as you have portrayed it with zero nuance or exceptions. Even you should have the self awareness to know how derpy this sounds.

Not to out and out defend Botterill but examples like Montour make it hard for me to give too much credit for Adams for anything he’s really done so far.

Montour is simply away from Krueger. And he’s taken off.

The Sabres have a billion first round picks on the roster currently. Like legitimately the entire forward core. They were organically going to be good under anyone who isn’t maybe the worst coach ever.

Not fixing the smaller things on this roster is just maddening

Krueger was an unmitigated disaster for this organization. The worst coach I’ve ever seen behind the Sabres bench.

I feel a pain in the back of my eyeball when I think about Brandon Montour setting franchise records for the Panthers for scoring from a defenseman.
- TheSabresTaco


True, but wasn’t a big fan of his when Kadri yelled “you’re a poopty ducking hockey player on a poopty (frank)ing hockey team” right in his face and all he did was laugh.

Is this code for off ice issues? Drunk with hookers on Bahamas having too much sexual intercourse? That’s really bad I heard.

Actually it should be why was He playing Winger instead of Defensman for the Sabres, why don't you and Boss ask Adams that.
- Buff36


If I recall correctly, Montour's last 1-1/2 season here was atrocious. People were screaming to get him out of here.

I think Krueger was the most delusional coach I’ve ever seen.

His one WGR interview is infamous

Ooh I made the naughty list; this is very exciting.

Yes, I believe in LGBTQ+ equality. It's a very important personal cause for me.

I'm also used to this being unpopular, even going back to high school. Amnesty international sponsors a "day of silence" for international LGBTQ+ rights every year, and every year I would be the only person in my grade who would participate in the day.

My point is this: if you think I'm going to back down on my beliefs, you're dead wrong. I also understand not everyone shares my beliefs, and because this is primarily a place to discuss hockey, I chose not to get into it too deeply.

Everyone is welcome in this blog, including the people with whom I disagree. All I ask is that opinions on the topic steer clear of name calling and slurs as these violate the websites TOS (in addition to common decency).

Hank you are very respected by all and I'm personally very proud of how you consistently handle things. You rock

Dreger says to expect the Sabres to sign Johnson as soon as his season is done.

For whomever's left with little to no faith.

He was horribly misused in a system that only helped Jokiharju.

Championship game Saturday 4/8. Sabres have 4 games remaining, beginning that following Monday. I think they'd like to get him those 4 games to take that experience into the offseason.

If he loses against BU, there's a chance he plays that Saturday vs the Canes

Was that his synergy or whatever interview?


Feb 20 of 2020.

I can’t find the actual interview itself. I want to go back and listen.
