Podcast appearances and mentions of Ralph Krueger

Die beiden Jungs haben einen Unternehmerclub mit lauter spannender Eigentümer von Unternehmern. Zweimal jährlich trifft man sich. Zum Austausch. Immer dabei ein internationaler Speaker. Diesmal war der legendäre Ralph Krueger dabei. In einem Workshop legte er sein Erfolgsmodell dar. Dann analysiert Michi den lieben Oli. Wie ist er so als Cheffe? Wie tickt er? Wo sind seine Stärken? Und ist Michi ein Klon von Oli oder eben doch nicht?

With it being Jeff Skinner's 1000th game, Sneaky Joe takes the chance to look back on Skinner's career to this point, where he is at as a player right now, and what the future looks like for Skinner in Buffalo. Will Skinner play a playoff game in Buffalo?Plus, why Skinner will go down as a great Buffalo Sabre, and just how high can he get on their all-time goal list? And we can't have a Skinner episode without diving in on surviving Ralph Krueger. Support Us By Supporting Our Sponsors!eBay MotorsFor parts that fit, head to eBay Motors and look for the green check.

On this episode of Talking Buffalo, Patrick Moran is joined by Mike Harrington, longtime writer and columnist for The Buffalo News to partake in a candid discussion about the state of the team he primarily covers, the Buffalo Sabres. After showing so much promise and missing the postseason by just two points last season, Buffalo has went backwards in a lot of areas, including the standings are now a lock to miss the playoffs for a 13th consecutive season. Mike assesses several reasons why this happened with a woeful power play being one of the biggest. He also talks about how the home game environment inside the arena lacks compared to many other teams around the league, with an emphasis on the Sabres dull game day experiences not being the fault of fans. He also surmises that Buffalo should cut down on their afternoon matinee games in effort to improve the atmosphere. In the wake of New Jersey just firing former Sabres long-time coach Lindy Ruff, Mike has opinions on if he thinks Ruff reuniting with Buffalo could be a possibility if Terry Pegula does fire Don Granato after the season, citing that Ruff had interest in the Buffalo job in 2019 before then-general manager Jason Botterill chose Ralph Krueger for the job. The guys also talk about the pleasant surprise UPL has been in net and spend a little time imaging what the city of Buffalo would feel like if they finally won either a Super Bowl or Stanley Cup. That and plenty more.

Larry Huras prägte das Schweizer Eishockey der Neuzeit wie nur wenige. Von 1994 bis 2017 stand er insgesamt 18 Jahre an der Bande von National-League-Teams. Er wurde zum Mann für schwierige Missionen, führte als Einziger in der Playoff-Ära drei verschiedene Mannschaften zum Titel: 2001 die ZSC Lions, 2003 Lugano und 2010 den SC Bern. Stets schlagfertig, war er auch ein Traum für die Medien. Und auch in den schwierigsten Zeiten verlor er seinen Humor nie.Fribourg war 2016/17 seine letzte Station auf Schweizer Eis, seitdem lebt er im Sommer ausserhalb von Toronto und im Winter in Utah, wo er seinem Lieblingshobby frönt: dem Skifahren. Anlässlich des SCB-Legendspiels kehrte er für einige Tage in die Schweiz zurück und nahm er sich Zeit für den «Eisbrecher»-Podcast. Darin reflektiert er seine Reise durch die Schweiz und die heftigen Reaktionen, die das Eishockey auslöst.Was ihm besonders geblieben ist: Wie er während des Playoff-Finals 2001 mit den ZSC Lions gegen Lugano in der Boulevardpresse zuerst als Clown und später als Magier dargestellt wurde. Solch überschäumende Emotionen wie im Tessin habe er aber sonst nirgendwo erlebt, sagt der 68-Jährige. Nach Niederlagen sei er in Ambri gut beraten gewesen, sich nicht in der Öffentlichkeit blicken zu lassen.Was hat all das in ihm ausgelöst? Und wäre er bereit für einen letzten Tanz an der Bande eines National-League-Teams? Hören Sie doch selbst, was er dazu sagt!

On this episode of Talking Buffalo, Patrick Moran is completely fed up with the ineptitude of the Buffalo Sabres and goes on several tangents outlying why he thinks they are the worst organization not just in the NHL, but of all four major sports. Over the past few days the Sabres went to Minnesota and beat a tough Wild team in overtime on the road, only to return home and inexcusably lose to a terrible Anaheim Ducks team, a team that actually swept both games against Buffalo. It led Patrick to realizing both games are a microcosm of a Sabres organization that perennially finds ways to blow anything good they got going. Patrick backs up his case by reciting tons of notes, ranging from their woes this season and going back throughout the entire drought that sees no end in sight. Along the way he throws out a bunch of terrible free agent signings, extensions and trades GMs made, Ralph Krueger playing 30-goal scorers on fourth line and a host of Sabres from the 2015-16 that all went on to achieve great team success--- after leaving the Sabres organization. He also goes through five other major professional sports organizations that deserve consideration but arrives at the conclusion that only the New York Jets even belong in the same conversation as the Sabres. That and plenty more on today's extremely animated and opinionated episode. ♦♦♦♦♦ Follow Patrick Moran/Talking Buffalo Podcast  Substack: Patrick Moran's Substack Twitter:  @PatMoranTweets.

Als Beat Forster im Januar 2001 mit 17 erstmals in der NLA auf das Eis geschickt wird, gibt es noch keine Smartphones und keine sozialen Medien. Chur spielt in der höchsten Eishockey-Liga, die Berner Young Boys dafür nur in der Fussball-NLB. Kurz: Es sind andere Zeiten. Aus dem Teenager aus Herisau, den die Davoser Trainer-Legende Arno Del Curto beim 9:1 über den HC La Chaux-de-Fonds aufs Eis befördert, wird aber bald schon ein ganz Grosser – und ein ganz Böser.Sechs Meistertitel gewinnt Forster mit dem HC Davos und den ZSC Lions. Er nimmt an Weltmeisterschaften und Olympischen Spielen teil und triumphiert am Spengler-Cup. Und dabei geht er den Gegenspielern ordentlich unter die Haut. In der Allzeit-Strafenliste der National League stehen nur Reto von Arx und Martin Steinegger noch vor ihm. Mittlerweile ist der Haudegen jedoch zahm geworden, das physische Spiel passt nicht mehr zum schnellen, modernen Eishockey.In wenigen Wochen wird Forster 41, er ist natürlich der älteste Spieler der Liga. In der 63. Episode des Eisbrechers gewährt er Einblicke in seine lange Karriere, die Ende Saison enden wird. Er erzählt, warum ihm die Jugendförderung am Herz liegt, wie es für ihn war, wenn ein Gegenspieler nach einem Check liegen blieb, was er mit dem EHC Biel noch erreichen will – und natürlich vieles mehr.

Seine Jugendtrainer sahen sein Talent als Stürmer, aber Renato Tosio wollte ins Tor. Es war ein guter Entscheid. Beim EHC Chur gab er bereits mit 16 sein Debüt in der 1. Mannschaft, mit den Bündnern stieg er zwei Mal in die Nationalliga A auf - beim zweiten Mal nach einem denkwürdigen B-Final gegen den SC Bern.Die ganz grossen Erfolge feierte Tosio aber erst nach seinem Wechsel in die Bundeshauptstadt. Mit dem SCB wurde er vier Mal Schweizer Meister. Doch Tosio war im Schweizer Eishockey viel mehr: Der heute 59-Jährige wurde zu einer Schweizer Goalie-Legende, die auch in der Nationalmannschaft ihre Spuren hinterliess.Entsprechend vieles hat Tosio zu erzählen. In dieser Episode des Eisbrechers spricht er über die Anfänge in Chur, über den Wechsel zum SCB, über seiner unfassbare Serie von 655 bestrittenen NLA-Spielen hintereinander in 14 Jahren in Bern und von seiner heutigen Arbeit in einem Golfclub - und über vieles mehr.

Mit 79 Jahren kann sich Slettvoll noch an jedes Detail erinnern. Und er nimmt kein Blatt vor den Mund. Als er 1983 in Lugano angekommen sei, sei man auf Schweizer Eis einfach wild herumgestürmt. Erst mit einer Videokassette aus Schweden, die seine Frau Elisabeth bei einem Besuch mitbrachte, konnte er seine Idee vom Kollektivspiel vermitteln. Und mit seinen intensiven und vielen Trainings läutete er eine neue Ära des Professionalismus ein.Als Lehrer schwer erziehbarer Kinder führte er die Spieler mit Härte und Einfühlungsvermögen. Slettvoll war besessen vom Erfolg und auch bereit, seine Spieler die Fäuste sprechen zu lassen wie in der legendären Schlägerei 1987 gegen Ambri. Diese Art von Selbstjustiz sei nötig gewesen, sagt er noch heute. Und er spricht über die «Hassliebe» mit Berns Coach Bill Gilligan, die beinahe auch in Handgreiflichkeiten endete. Doch als er 1991 das Nationalteam übernahm, wählte Slettvoll ausgerechnet den Amerikaner als Assistenten.Leidenschaftlich und direkt redet der Schwede über seine Schweizer Zeit, die sein Leben so sehr prägte. Als er auf einen Spieler zu sprechen kommt, den er damals an der Hand nahm, und der heute selber Trainer ist, stockt er kurz. Das berührt ihn. Slettvoll schreckt aber auch vor Kritik nicht zurück. Die Zeit mit Ralph Krueger als Nationalcoach sei eine verlorene gewesen, sagt er. Die Schweizer hätten sich unter dem Deutschkanadier nicht weiterentwickelt und viel zu defensiv gespielt.Die WM-Silbermedaillen 2013 und 2018 liessen auch Slettvolls Herz höher schlagen. Aber wem drückte er damals in den WM-Finals gegen Schweden die Daumen? Hören Sie doch selbst!

At last the Sabres season is over and fans are... sad about it? That's a weird, new feeling that Lance and Joe will try to get a handle on. This week they discuss the vibe carryover and if it's a real thing or not. The Sabres final media availability had a "end of summer camp in a summer camp movie" kind of feel to it. Can we say "vibes" enough? Maybe... but they discuss what it'll take for the Sabres to be a real postseason contender and it's not just goaltending. The guys also discuss the work Don Granato has done and - you won't believe it - but they also talk about how that makes Ralph Krueger (and other past coaches) look in retrospect.The Amerks made the Calder Cup Playoffs! But UPL is hurt and that stinks for a multitude of reasons.

After a 4-goal outing in Montreal, Jeff Skinner now has 20 goals for the season and is on pace for 36 goals. Sneaky Joe breaks down why Skinner is playing the same as he has the last two years, but is just being used different by Don Granato than Ralph Krueger.Plus, Joe previews Sabres-Islanders and looks the best bets for Tuesday's game.Support Us By Supporting Our Sponsors!Built BarBuilt Bar is a protein bar that tastes like a candy bar.

We know you all enjoy when we poke at Ralph Krueger and since it's Valentine's Day consider this our box of chocolates and roses for you because Jeff Skinner has thrown off the shackles and piled up goals (1:30). What makes that all the more fun is he's part of a legitimate top line for Buffalo joining up with Tage Thompson and Alex Tuch (16:00). But... the Sabres are still a losing team (SORRY GANG) and Mark Pysyk was just recently scratched. Something funny going on there with him and the rest of the defense? (27:30)We go off on a small tangent discussing non-Sabres NHL stuff (we got some nerve) but it's OK we'll couch it as part of hot stove talk for the trade deadline in March (40:00). One thing that's really not cool is seeing Devon Levi not even playing for Canada at the Olympics but it is cool to see Owen Power flexing his youthful might (45:00).

We start off talking about the latest Sabres COVID cases and lament that there may be more (0:20); but at least the World Junior Championships are underway and Owen Power is the main attraction for Canada (3:00); there are some other Sabres prospects like Jakub Konecny, Isak Rosen, and Nikita Novikov (8:50).J-J Peterka is not playing for Germany so would you let him and other Sabres prospects play for their countries in the Olympics? (13:55)Development has been stressed in handling the young guys in Rochester and we get into discussing what Amerks coach Seth Appert has provided the organization in his role there (21:04)The fans want Krebs! So when are they gonna get Krebs?! That and more about doing things the right way in the AHL.(28:53)The taxi squad is back and are the Sabres even going to have one? If they do, who the heck do they put on it? (42:16)Know who should be up in Buffalo? Mattias Samuelsson, that's who. Reward your younger dudes who are ready. (49:01)The guys promise to stay consistent and will really try not to talk like football coaches (53:25)Hey, remember Ralph Krueger? He could be our ticket to content!

It's Casual Friday on Talking Buffalo Podcast, which means Patrick Moran is joined by Noted Hockey author, sports media personality and friend Joe Yerdon to talk about a variety of topics, including an in-depth discussion on the Buffalo Sabres shockingly hot start, not being worried about the Buffalo Bills, Joe's new venture into sports writing and a “Starting Five” draft consisting of Favorite Tom Hanks movies. As this podcast episode drops the Sabres have won all three of their games. Joe talks about several of the players that've contributed to the Sabres fast start and albeit a small sample size, if he thinks its sustainable. He also talks about how much different the team looks under Don Granato compared to when Ralph Krueger was the captain of the ship and the guys talk about if Jack Eichel actually brought toxicity to the locker room. On the Bills side, Patrick hits on thinking Buffalo should've won in Tennessee on Monday Night but ultimately got the result they deserved. That said, with games upcoming against Miami, Jacksonville, the New York Jets and Indianapolis there's essentially no reason to worry. They also talk about Joe's new writing venture, Noted Hockey (click that link to subscribe for free) including why he started it and what fans can expect. They wrap up with this week's “Starting Five' selections of Tom Hanks movies and here's a spoiler alert---neither selected The Green Mile.  All that and much more.

In this episode, Craig Custance and Sean Gentille recap a busy night in the NHL playoffs. The Penguins, with a struggling Tristan Jarry between the pipes are on the brink of elimination, after Jarry delivered a pizza to Josh Bailey for the Islanders win. Custance and Gentille praise the work of Spencer Knight in his playoff debut for Florida and wonder what the Cats should do with Sergey Bobrovsky. Plus the guys discuss Kyle Connor's triple OT goal in Winnipeg, and Connor Helebuyck holding Connor McDavid to one goal in the Jets four game sweep over the Oilers.Craig and Sean welcome Don Granato, the interim head coach of the Buffalo Sabres to the show, and chat about the steps he and the Sabres took after he replaced Ralph Krueger behind the bench. Don, a superior development coach talks about the veterans who helped him fit in, as the bench boss in Buffalo and working with young players like Rasmus Dhalin, Casey Mittlelstadt and Linus Ulmark. He also talks about his association with Auston Matthews who has brought his game to a new level with the Leafs. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

On this episode of Talking Buffalo Podcast, Patrick Moran is joined by recurring guest, friend and sports media personality Joe Yerdon to discuss the Buffalo Sabres 2020-21 season, some of the player season-ending press conferences with the media on Monday and look into how he sees the offseason playing out on the heels of Jack Eichel's fiery presser. Don Granato led the Sabres to a 9-16-3 record in his 28 games as interim head coach after taking over for a fired Ralph Krueger, including a 9-11-2 record following the team's epic 18-game winless streak.  Beyond the wins and losses many of the younger players looked considerably better under Granato, leading several fans and media including Joe to conclude Granato deserves legitimate consideration to become the permanent head coach.  Joe discusses why. However, that's greatly overshadowed by Monday's fiery Zoom pressers from several players, most notably Eichel who sounded like a franchise center incredibly open if not ready to become a former Sabres center soon.  Joe has his thoughts on Eichel's injuries this season and how the organization's handling of them has put them in a lose-lose situation with an already frustrated fan base. They also discuss non-committal comments from Sam Reinhart, Rasmus Ristolainen and plenty more. All this and much more.  Follow Joe on Twitter @JoeYerdon. ♦♦♦♦♦ Follow Patrick Moran/Talking Buffalo Podcast  Twitter: @PatMoranTweets.

On this episode of the future award-winning Talking Buffalo Podcast, Patrick Moran has a conversation with popular YouTube content creator and Buffalo Sabres superfan Melody Martin about her favorite team, her Sabres videos that have a strong presence on YouTube and her game night experience at Key Bank Center this past Saturday. For the first time all season, a limited amount (10% of capacity) were allowed into a Sabres home game last weekend.   Melody, along with her mother and cousin were among them.  Melody details what the process and experience was like, including a required app for fully vaccinated attendees, other protocols at the admission gate, what is was like being scattered throughout the arena and forgetting about everything else when Victor Olofsson scored late in the third period (a goal that she actually missed seeing). She also talks about her YouTube channel and some of its content, including a take on “Driver's License” that steps away from wit and humor and paints the picture of a deeply frustrated Sabres fans. The song is played on the podcast before the interview. They also spend a few minutes talking about the team, including the undeniable impact that firing Ralph Krueger has had of late, the significance of better backup goaltending, the improved contributions of younger players and a guess on if Jack Eichel is going to want to stick around for this continued rebuild. You can follow Melody on Twitter@MelodyNMartinand definitely be sure to subscribe to her YouTube channel, which includes all of her music and Sabres reactions. ♦♦♦♦♦ Follow Patrick Moran/Talking Buffalo Podcast  Twitter: @PatMoranTweets.

It's the first ever “Emergipod” edition of Talking Buffalo Podcast.   The Buffalo Sabres have fired head coach Ralph Krueger and Patrick Moran has a conversation with sportswriter Joe Yerdon about it. The winless streak reached 12 games on Tuesday night with a loss to fellow NHL doormat New Jersey and it was the last straw.  Krueger has been relieved of his head coaching duties less than two seasons into the job and with still another year and nearly $4 million remaining on his contract. Patrick and Joe discuss much of what got the Sabres and Krueger to this point, thoughts on intern head coach Don Granato, who the next coach may be, how much this currently constructed roster is even capable of improving regardless of who is coach, and plenty more. Patrick also tells the story of finding out the night before the firing that this was going on, which included him putting up a cryptic tweet before the New Jersey game was over.
