LaFontaine? He coaches a U16 or U17 team on Long Island. This was way overdue in my opinion.
Or Ron Rolston, coach of the Amerks
Maybe Lindy fucked his wife?
Exceptionally good players, usually don’t make good coaches. But, hey…you never know.
I never go off of +/- it’s just a stupid fucking stat. Crosby is an Elite player, Malkin I’d probably consider elite, maybe a couple others.
You’d “probably” consider Malkin elite? Ha.
+/- has an argument for being a “stupid” stat, except when it’s in the 30+ range. Then it really tells you something. But then again, if a goalie has a 4.08 GAA but wins 60 games a year…does that mean he’s a good goalie?
You two get a room!
If your goalie has a 4.08 GAA and 60 wins, the rest of the team deserves an automatic Stanley cup for scoring a fucking shit ton of goals.
Look most of the great players are surrounded by great players so +/- is usually high. A lower +/- doesn’t necessarily mean the player sucks however.
Yeah, but a -30 +/- and they’d be back in the AHL.
I’m not impressed by someone who puts up 90 pts and has a big negative +/-. There are more aspects to the game than scoring a lot. Being defensively responsible in your own end, is a huge part of it. As far as I’m concerned and 99% of the hockey world, Bergeron is one of the most well-rounded players in the league…if not the most. He’s consistently a top 10 center.
I’m sold on the fact that I think Sheen had sexual relations with ryans wife.
Ron Rolston is on his way to Buffalo. He will probably be the interim coach and I wouldn’t be surprised to see Darcy go after this year and the new GM will pick his head coach.
<— This guy = very late to the party.
Talked with my father, he thinks a good choice to go with would be one of the three… Peca, Housely, Lafontaine. All are couching and doing well with the teams they are couching. Obviously some skill levels that they ar couching are different, but all great names for the spot.

thanks. lol :slap:
This team is lazy enough, we don’t need any more couching.
Beat me to it. Vanek is so lazy, he scores goals from his couch. couching.
Rolston will be the new head coach. Personally I’d love to see the Sabres go after Jon Cooper of the Syracuse Crunch. If you don’t know who he is, research him. All he has ever done is WIN since he got into coaching. He coached Norfolk to the Calder Cup last year in the AHL and has continued his success with the Crunch this year. But at least for now, Rolston is the guy.
edit- I should also say that I have a ton of confidence in Rolston and am still excited to see what he can do. The guy lives and breathes hockey, has a tremendous reputation, and I know he’ll pour his life into turning this team around. That’s the type of guy he is.
Nailed this! bergeron is one of the best complete centers in the game hands down! Id give boston my unborn child for him.
Its bittersweet to see lindy go. But he looked tired, rundown and out of ideas. His voice was invisible and it transpired all over the place. That being said I hope we have a new coach and some new players soon. But I dont want it rushed to fill a void.
Also everyone loves to rag on miller. Miller is prob one of the only reasons were not 0-17 this season. Yes hes a head case, yes he rarely takes blame for when he does occasionally have a bad outing. But hes a solid, good goalie. Good luck finding another like him. People that rag on him sound like canuck funs ragging on luongo, seriously? who else would you like as a goalie that you feel would be better than miller or luongo in vancouver??jesus christ. With the way this team plays defensively, any average goalie would get burned much more than miller has. Most snipers in the league constantly say how hard it is to shoot on miller and how hes one of the most difficult goalies to face. That along with my own personal opinion of him is good enough logic for me.
Enuff of the Ruff. I liked Lindy but you can only let it go on so long.
All the head case/streaky players get a pass for the rest of this season. Bad coaching CREATES head cases. Look at the years where Vanek would have one bad game and get shifted from line to line or benched while that waste of oxygen Adam Mair was Lindy’s golden boy. You think that doesn’t make head cases?
This I totally disagree with. We have more than enough 2nd, 3rd line small undersized pussy centers! He had one decent season in Colorado and all the sudden he has the balls to ask for 5+ million a season. I dont blame the avs for trying to trade him and having him unsigned still. He is a GOOD hockey player, not great, not elite, not big, not tough, flat out is not what the sabres need. We need big tough physical forawrds.
We need a patrice bergeron ,ryan getzlaf, an eric staal, jordan staal, crosby , malkin, stamkos, lecavalier, joe thornton, toews, kesler, richards, etc and the list goes on.
We do not need undersized, overrated, underachieving centers.
We need guys like “The Rock” on skates. Ripped and tatted.
Early reports suggest that Rolston will be the interim head coach. Thoughts? In my opinion why not, he can’t do any worse can he?
