Dans cet épisode de Talking Buffalo, Patrick Moran est rejoint par Mike Harrington, écrivain de longue date et chroniqueur pour The Buffalo News, pour participer à une discussion franche sur l’état de l’équipe qu’il couvre principalement, les Sabres de Buffalo. Après avoir montré tant de promesses et raté les séries éliminatoires de seulement deux points la saison dernière, Buffalo a reculé dans de nombreux domaines, dont le classement est désormais un verrou pour rater les séries éliminatoires pour une 13e saison consécutive. Mike évalue plusieurs raisons pour lesquelles cela s’est produit, un jeu de pouvoir lamentable étant l’un des plus importants. Il parle également de la façon dont l’environnement de match à domicile à l’intérieur de l’arène manque par rapport à de nombreuses autres équipes de la ligue, en mettant l’accent sur le fait que les expériences ennuyeuses des Sabres pendant les jours de match ne sont pas la faute des fans. Il suppose également que Buffalo devrait réduire ses matchs en matinée l’après-midi afin d’améliorer l’atmosphère. À la suite du licenciement par le New Jersey de l’ancien entraîneur de longue date des Sabres, Lindy Ruff, Mike a son avis sur la question de savoir s’il pense que Ruff retrouve Buffalo pourrait être une possibilité si Terry Pegula licencie Don Granato après la saison, citant que Ruff était intéressé par le Emploi à Buffalo en 2019 avant que le directeur général de l’époque, Jason Botterill, ne choisisse Ralph Krueger pour le poste. Les gars parlent également de l’agréable surprise que l’UPL a été devant le filet et passent un peu de temps à imaginer ce que ressentirait la ville de Buffalo s’ils gagnaient enfin le Super Bowl ou la Coupe Stanley. Cela et bien plus encore. #bluewirevideo Pour écouter cet épisode et chaque épisode du podcast Talking Buffalo dans son intégralité, abonnez-vous/suivez sur Apple ou Spotify.

Great discussion!
People seem to dislike Mike, but i trust what he has to say about the Sabres over anybody
I agree on both comments.
Hey man, Mike can you give us a rundown on the picks on the wall. I'm sure it would be a more happy discussion than the sabres of today!!! What happened to our players being like Schoenfeld, spinner korab Perrault I could keep going . C'mon you players ,start playing like you care, about your integrity,care about your fans , man just gotta fing play as hard as your fans work to get their money to watch you play. Dammit they don't make near as much as you guys!!!
We have to show up every dam day and give it our all or we're gone. If you players don't want to work hard every game ,Go ,be gone.
C'mon guys . Think about us, its freaking hard.Be proud to be a Sabre. C'mon. Let's get on a Warpath!!!
Yeah Mike you're all right, and Patrick way to go, I hope we will start to want to talk about the sabres. Hey ask the players who is punch imlach. Who don't know gotta go
Til he don't want to lose anymore Sabre money and sells to another town.
Who is not all out on the ice, get rid of them. Gotta go hard with talent or not ya gotta go hard.
I'm crying when I was a kid I cared so much about my sabres. I still hate Philadelphia.
Keeping HCDG as head coach is exactly why our organization is in the dinosaur era. Fire this guy !!!!!! Or make him an associate coach. Bring in a proven winner. Playoffs or beat it mentality. Firing HCDG would've woke this team up. Blow out or trade away #21-#28-#78-#71-#6 . I hope we trade all listed and bring up our AHL Jiri, Rosen, Savoie.
Bring in Ruff !!!! Demote HCDG to associate coach.
Sabres need a PRESIDENT OF HOCKEY OPERATIONS ASAP
Although I grew up a Ranger fan I have also been a Sabres rooter since their first year. There is a lot of talent on the Sabres. I just don't get it. It's very frustrating and perplexing.
If you're a vet, are you gonna come here and wait 3 or 4 years to win? While we build it for the long haul as Kevin likes to say, get your a** in the playoffs, be competitive immediately. Not not make a trade because we might give up one of the prospects. Most teams are trying to win not see if you can gather the most prospects. They haven't figured it out you. Trade your prospects as well as keeping some and build a winner , we just hold them ALL
There is a lack of understanding and acceptance from our fans on where this team is at. You would think after 13 years of suffering that they would understand we are on our 3rd attempt at a real rebuild after 2 disastrous attempts. Our fans are too fixated on making desperate roster moves just to make the playoffs. To hell with just making the playoffs! If we stay patient and do this right this young team will develop into a Stanley Cup champion. We need to trust Kevyn Adams because he knows what he’s doing. Far more than the reporters, podcasters, or fans. What happened this year happens to a lot of young teams and is all part of a maturing process. Last year was exciting but we will not win a Stanley Cup playing like that. We had to learn defense this year and therefore adjust how we play offense. They have to play through it. Stay the course!
Some Sabres fans criticize Pegula for being too involved with the Sabres. (draft table, etc…). Say he should be hands off, like with the Bills.
Others criticize him for being an absentee landlord.
Until the Sabres win, Pegula can’t do anything right.
They traded for a guy who had 3 major concussions, very risky move by an amateur GM. Like when Darcy signed Ville Leino and didn’t know the guy had bad hips that needed injections before games.
Positives: Levi is looking amazing in AHL, UPL looks fantastic, cap situation is excellent, talented players signed cheap for many years. They just need to bring in some veterans who have won something, ditch Girgensons and Okposo.
I’m afraid things will never change with Pegulas as owners. Sabres are a write off or something bc it’s been the same since Terry took over.
Raising ticket prices every year and seeing what we see is what they are gonna get at home until they become a true nhl team.
Mike it really wasnt like that when we had ryan miller either we had a stud and maybe there were more than 4-5 teams back then with studs but many were like they are now 2 goalies sharing the crease.
I dont think the Sabres should fire Granato unless Rod Brind'Amour will be the couch of the Sabres. I think the Sabres ruined their reputation in the league with firing so many coaches. Now if Brind'Amour is willing to sign with the Sabres, I think we end up in the Playoffs next year.
Now the Sabres MUST fire Christie, Ellis and Wilford. Then try to hire very good recent players, like can Girardi be a replacement coach? Look at Vancouver with Adam Foote and Sergei Gonchar, can the Sabres get good recent players like these 2 that can help out the current players.
Like can you get Ryan Callahan to come an be an Assistant coach? Ryan is from the WNY area, he was a player who battled hard in his career. Can you take him and plug him as an Assistant coach? Brian Gionta is another. We are seeing former players of this caliber be way more successful coaching the younger kids that the old hard nose coaches. Look at Andrew Brunette of the Preds. There are other examples as well around the league. Can the Sabres get off the old never haves of the league and bring in Successful players of this league to take over this team?
Good commentary on coaching in nhl
The transformation of UPL has been spectacular actually
