Reviews

4.1 out of 5 stars from 341 ratings
  • Locked on Bills is better

    Joe has very little actual hockey knowledge. As someone who played the game his takes are laughable and ignorant.

  • Sabres vs Lightening

    Sabres need to learn how to fight. Razor is in the building. Razor needs to get his skates on at practice and teach them how to fight.

    Sabres cannot get pushed around in the playoffs or teams will smell weakness.

    Sabres need a brawler or they will be injured and/or bumped out of playoffs early.

    Few Sabres have playoff experience, the physicality goes way up

    We lost the Dallas cup series because Ruff sat Razor and they got pushed around.

    Go back a bit further and look at his record when he ran the drafts for STL. He wasn’t the GM but he did a very good job with the drafts here. TJ Oshie, David Perron, Eric Johnson, Ian Cole, Patrick Berglund ( I know it failed in Buffalo but guy was a good player) and there are more my memory is spotty. Just go and see what years he was the Blues draft guy and you’ll see. He was with Ottawa before that and I believe was heavily involved with the drafts when Ottawa was very good. He drafted Maria... more

Lindy Ruff vs Marco Sturm becoming CHESS MATCH between coaches in Sabres-Bruins (feat. Jack Han)

Lindy Ruff vs Marco Sturm becoming CHESS MATCH between coaches in Sabres-Bruins (feat. Jack Han)
Q: What changes have stood out in the Sabres' lineup for game four, and why might Ostlund be given power-play time now?
Jack Han explains Ostlund's puck-moving skill could help on the power play, especially as teams try to improve their entry and setup, but he notes Ostlund's historical power-play numbers aren't stellar, so the move is a low-risk, high-reward gamble.
