Exactly. Ever since the whole Drury/Briere debacle (which admittedly was not his fault) Regier has been a horrendous asset manager, practically panics when it comes to losing potential free agents. And yeah, his ridiculous spending spree on one of the worst-ever free agent classes has left the Sabres in a big rut.
Too bad for Lindy--he more or less got fired because his goalie was decidedly average.
That's simply not true, Miller has been great this season, the defense has really been THAT bad in front of him. On paper, the defense should be decent, but they've easily been the worst on the ice..yes even worse than the Avs defense has been.
Truth be told, Ruff has been incredibly mediocre ever since Hasek left and wasn't there to carry his teams. He should have been fired after last season when the team failed to make the playoffs and was a very hyped team going into the season at the time.
Whoa, that's an interesting comment. It seems like Sacco is a very player friendly coach, and TPS has allued to the players liking him before.
Doesn't make him a good coach, but I wonder where he's getting this info from, and if it has more to do with Lefebvre.
Fair enough, I knew Miller wasn't awful by any means, but not quite as "Miller" as he usually is. But I've heard the D has been pretty bad. I have to wonder at this point if Regehr is pretty much done. He was already in a pretty steep decline near the end of his time in Calgary.
But I don't know...worse than the Avs' D!? That's a pretty tough thing to do.
They have to have some sort of strong past connection somewhere. As detrude mentioned, Q was the Avs assistant under under Crawford. Also Bllington loves BU guys. He's the one that called Sacco to come to Lake Erie when he was working in his family's moving business after retiring. He's probably responsible for bringing in Quinn too.
Deader, Kono, Lefebvre, obviously all ex players. Granato's ties were with Eric Lacroix as they were good buddies and roommates I think on the Kings.
Love the title under your name.
This cool moderator I know suggested it. It's kinda fitting both for me and the guy in my avatar (Podes.)
By the way...congrats Bubba! You'll do a great job as an enforcer around here.
Oh. I thought it was me that suggested it.
Thanks for the congrats. They give you this cool BanHammer and an awesome Rod of Infractions when you start. Unlimited charges in both. We have such a great group of people here, though, that I don't expect I'll ever have to use either of them...not on our locals, at least.
