Welcome -- on that on the list of about 830 on the lovely sunny Friday morning happy Friday thirteenth that's this site. You're here and I. Would like what are you gonna point that it is gonna go home its stance idled at. -- just superstitious on every. Not just like our -- -- life superstition not just sports players I'm watching it seemed that I really want to where I'm sitting in a certain position doubles them to line. You know. Her if I'm. Team Meyer I'm wearing the same closers -- that same -- answer on for the next on you know us Leah writes. Higher remember when I've played hockey I -- in weigh in we've it's my finger and I had -- -- yeah. And once real good games and to this day. Well here's the. -- in the hall of fame and Iowa State obviously that's a Smart move -- -- -- -- 8030550. To join -- Paul Hamilton -- a -- 9 -- are so. Ted was here yesterday and again you know as you that's maintained for the last few months. Talked about you know guest -- in the -- coming back and they only evaluate him in the fourteen months since -- Google is on the team. Why they like Garcia -- so much at least at this point that they decided it would be the wrong move to make change there's. Well I I think they came in with a lot of respectable but a Lindy Ruff carries a lot of respect around the national shockingly. Team Canada one of them to. Peter coach for the world championships. He apparently has turned them down for about. He's been their coach for them before. He was in the finals to be the Olympic coach. And Babcock turned them down Lindy -- would have been the Olympic coach. So. He's it's. You'd go around other cities. And almost to a man like if you talk to another writer another broadcaster another hockey person. They think it's hilarious that people of buffalo one hour ago. To a man I have not left this city and had anybody tell me that when the rough is as horrible coach and and should be fired. Anywhere he he's just around the National Hockey League he cares a lot of us well. Let me ask you this then because there are other. Hockey report that was say the exact opposite is true. Fifty people mean Bucky says that he between yes it Bucky Gleason that. Fifty people call astonishing. That there still -- career it's Darcy I think it's more so -- easiest on your part not -- that's what he writes OK you're boy you were about Darcy. A lot of what buck here so there are people who -- Are -- -- people people that want to be GM's like I sometimes I wonder that about a guy who used to be GM and I want a job. And there's a billionaire owner I would say it I'm astonished. I just I sometimes I do want not to say the wrong but I wonder that. And some of the people would have reasons. Other reasons to say that. Wanna take that much for. But you know they would have other reasons to maybe have. Bad thoughts about -- here whatever. I've said this for a long long time. -- -- cursory you're gonna talk you don't have a huge problem the problem I have with -- is. I do not like the way I want a more aggressive general manager. I want a guy that doesn't sit there after the trade deadlines today you know maybe we should have made a deal earlier. Because he believes in you mold your team in the offseason that's his belief that's how he feels you build our club. And you don't mess with that you wait four to gel and if you have to tweak it at the trade deadline you do that's the way he feels it's. I just want somebody who's more aggressive that. When they see it's not working try to do something about it instead of saying well we're just gonna be patient. The Philadelphia Flyers were the best example I was sitting here talking about for the flyers game. And the Saber game the other day how they have three really good defensemen on their lineup. Stronger. -- Ross and Grossman was out. And when -- and -- a five of the six defensemen they addressed were really good NHL defensemen. With the weather flyers do it when somebody goes out we go if somebody else we don't. Bring up five guys from the HL. And have five or six defenseman from the HL yeah. We goal they got -- ego trip and I act Grossman. I mean that they still with the good players not want to throw him in and Kohlberg -- I'm missing some sorry that Carl Carl. They have five of the six guys were guys sees Syria. Average you're above average defenseman and they've got three. NHL defensemen sit on the shelf. So that's that's the way they handle it which is little -- The sabres don't wanna make that trade in December. They don't want to make that traded in here because that's not the time you make moves you make woes of the trading deadline so. When you get injured in and you've got three or four defensemen on the shelf. You just call up three defenseman in your 3-D now in -- HL defensemen. All of those 8030550. Fear questions. He's with a still 9 o'clock -- your own -- here on W jogger right ahead. Good morning gentlemen and get a cut a couple of questions. How do you explain -- pit lane. Good because we can evaluate players and we think that every time at all so. Our problem they have aren't gonna constructed the sabres like to prune through the flyers are dependent. Top political team well he has been well he's big here apparently he doesn't think -- it's an important part of when he back TP. -- -- -- -- -- Well you would try to think about may have been a general message it doesn't take our fatalities and important part of when he backed -- well thank you very much. Through things and Brian Burke thinks it's really important his team is terrible. But. Darcy has started to go more that direction all their last couple drafts you know the league has changed since the lockout ought to block out it was speed and skill and they had speed and scale. And they were slowed the party this is true. To get physical and bigger but they appear to be going that way. Correctly -- arm wrong two -- Missed the weeks now incorporated Philadelphia. It holds up the flyers organization as. These that we have to we have to be that we have to have this player this player whatever I just did it myself when I talked about defenseman. Com and since -- as many -- wonder how many parades they've -- -- very big win today they -- if they were also there in the playoffs all the time what do they want. Well it's -- and it got a lot of that's what I hear it when the club Paul what that why does everyone fired nursery here it would be rocked the flyers because it well I'll say -- -- pretty tells me what have they won. So I'm gonna use the same criteria. To the flyers that they have they want they haven't missed the playoffs six times and Reuters Bruins yes they've won something penguins yes they've won something. If you wanna follow the people who -- a blue print of this penguins. Come in last place for five years. And then you can do with the penguins did you interact Malkin you can draft Crosby can draft -- -- ball and -- have a real good team. But you're gonna have to be -- the number one bit to do that four out of five years so if you wanna follow that blueprint that's how you do it. Let me ask you this -- his maybe his point about Philadelphia I still think like Philadelphia's in the playoffs and like you said Philadelphia that when they bottomed out hit rock bottom they just don't -- that's not supposed with a goal here to -- I understand that but at least there in it. You can't win the cup if you're not in the plants there and play more often than not but. What about the type of team they've built in the fact that I don't know I don't I mean. You look at Pittsburgh Pittsburgh is Crosby -- I don't look at Pittsburgh a team you're afraid to play against there are some tough guys to their -- and this point -- image because ever not people like to point out well. Without Crosby Malkin last year they -- made the playoffs yes and and they lost in the first round yeah. But they're not they're not known for like a big physical right oh god you're playing the language you're gonna get your head handed -- Philly and Boston is a better example of that and the action as the guy I think called yesterday and said the same thing that black and he said yes you're dead on we have to make the team part of the play -- so what about the key to think that. They have this format what they wanted to do in the and they decided. This is the workings of a blow it off by Jeff Carter by Mike Richards let's get a goaltender because. Maybe goaltending is more important that we think it is. They do this this model has -- work so within the last two years the flyers have changed their model. They've got heart know who. Is willing to hit Kirby and -- I'm not too sure he's gonna make -- face to face them with Leno lesser ones in between -- com. Stronger of course is off or got it over and although they got to come out right although Jody Shelley who run around. You know its fourth liners but you look at their other three lines van riemsdyk -- air. -- rule that. Agog her where's the toughness there I mean that's not it's it's it's they're skating transition team now they. They do what Toronto does that -- they do it better. You know how Toronto -- all over the sabres. They want escape with you now and sure I mean if if it gets tough they got the guys who can show off over the top guy. -- I I thought it was hilarious when the tally it re air. And the line brawl started. Everybody was involved in the fight except. It -- you stand there -- -- -- Brea was hurt he got up he stood next to him for awhile and then you could see him like. Just kind of bend over skate to the bench and 46 just stood there with no partner ever pretty else was going so. That was the music so certainly they're willing they're willing to go. But I think it's a bit of them they're not the Bruins. When it comes to skills with toughness they're not even close. It's and the sabres this year Paul were to in my in my opinion at their best. During that stretch right before they ended up falling apart. Because they were skating scoring team. They were the best they've been on the rush in years you know converting on 21 ones with anybody complaining about how soft they were banned that you score goals the researchers saw. They scored 47 goals and twelve games before the very amber. And that's one goal off before -- game in 1212 street games. So we -- They they turned around and part of it was I mean Foleo was heading I mean in and that helped any I. Part of the culture is going to change because I think -- drops going to be your regular I think the only knows going to be irregular I think right now it's going to be right. And I think Myers has said many times for him to be effective he's got to be somebody used. Physical and using the body you've got we're Gere who's willing to use the body. You've got Webber who's willing to use the bodies so. Slowly but surely the culture is starting to change here four to address what black said yesterday. If if were if they're gonna -- -- forgot -- of course you also I like Cody McCormick is a fighter but two years ago we scored what equals or some. I want to get a little bit of production on of that spot. And four and had thirteen points I think that's -- oracle bought fight anybody. I didn't like the fact he chased for geared down in the meaningless game but he normally doesn't do stuff like that he's a pretty honest player. And and now a good teammate and he's he'll -- most of his fights and you know he'll. -- I don't want Jody Shelley. I don't want some guy who's just some guerilla that you throw out there that you're here you're on pins and needles opening -- get scored on. -- and you've got. You know three quarters of the people who stands a good beat him in -- skating race and just I don't want that guy I want a guy like Orton or somebody that can at least bring something a little bit to the table. More than just. Beings you know some guys that stages fights halfway through game. All list your calls coming up 8030550s. Gonna stick -- one more seg will get his thoughts on. Whether at receivers are headed in the right direction brought up some of the names about players that are going to be around next season we'll talk about that we get back 8030550. Lines are open to -- the sabres question or comment for Paul. 88550. To five feet to get the update from cheer on W --
