The Sabres lost this exact game a week ago and nothing changed. Why would last night be the impetus?

Football figured it out. Points equal fun. Baseball figured it out. Runs equal fun. Hockey needs to get on the bandwagon when it comes to these silly overturned goals. *Basketball thought it figured it out with points equaling fun but this may or may not be the case.

I honestly have no idea why you wrote this in response to my post unless you're just trying to read your own posts as a get off. Enough for what? I made no excuses and didn't insinuate any.

It made sense in preseason when it was obvious that Dunne was 3x the player Geertsen was. Though the Amerks would much rather have Dunne in their top 6 than Geertsen as a 4W with less upside than Jagger Joshua.

This isn’t goalie interference either. It was just against the rules at the time.

So, of course not!!! It seems to be a popular sentiment that either 1. Terry doesn't care and is all wrapped up with the Bills and their success OR 2. He is too involved with the Sabres front office and basically pulling a Jerry Jones controlling everything because of his massive ego! BUT, could it be .......................... That nothing is presently happening because IF management does something dramatic it will confirm "the plan' has failed and this franchise is now in total disarray and people in charge don't know what they're doing. Hence signaling to the NHL there needs to be intervention. Could debilitating fear be paralyzing progress? I just can't get the memory of Terry tearing up years ago at his introduction press conference with some of those past Sabre HOFamers sitting in the front row. And now not caring about this franchise, it doesn't make sense. Thoughts? Answers?

I’m being told Lindy is sulking in his office.

The owner can spend as much or as little as he wants. The owner can hire whoever he wants. He can have a hands off or hands on approach to ownership. He can care or not. Those issues are all his prerogatives. In business, profitability is the measure of success or failure. In the sports endeavor, it is easy to measure success or failure. Your record is the basis for making a judgment. It shouldn't be a surprise that when you hire incompetents and then don't hold them accountable, the end result is predictable. When you continue to fail and then continue doing what you are doing, you don't have to be a clairvoyant to guess what the outcome will be. Isn't a generation of this foolishness originating from the owner's box enough? Excuses no longer resonate with me.

A move that makes sense is a nice chance of pace for this organization

I’m out of words and emotions regarding this team. They need a heart transplant. Not sure who or where their heart is but it’s faulty. Identify it and remove it. Frankly, I’m not sure how many of the current players I’d keep moving forward. Doan and Benson, maybe Östlund. After that I’m not sure any of these guys give a *****.

Some of us agree 100%. He is more interested in having poeple around him that make him comfortable. That won't offend him. That will take the arrows from the press and fans when things go badly. With the Sabres, its almost as if he wants to be coddled. Winning? Sure that would be great, but it has to be done his way.

Adam’s needs to be held accountable for this!

I imagine Guelli has this information. Would love to know his opinion. Or maybe he ignores it and focuses on the Bills.

Hope they do. He’s an ECHL level player.

I believe the organization has finally turned the corner.

I agree that it's difficult to know what Pegula thinks. Anyone with an opinion on that, attempts to connect decisions to translation of thoughts. Most fair minded fans understand that and also that there's reasonable potential conclusions that can be possible. My guess is he cares. It would make sense that he'd rather win and make more money as a result. I do wonder if some math can be applied to not spending like he used to? For example, if he spent to the cap or put more resources into the offices - would say an average of 75% full arena pay for that? I'd find that interesting and what could be gleamed from info like that.

So I guess I'll never use this meme during a game...

After seeing the replay, I was confident that the goal would stand. It didn't. Whether it was a good call or not isn't the troubling issue for me. This is a mentally fragile team, and the self-policing player leadership is missing. To my unschooled eyes, there was little intensity and sense of urgency throughout the game. We have a number of young players who are being given an opportunity to play due to injuries. One would think that they would have seized on that opportunity. They didn't. I have been a supporter of Quinn. In this game he was invisible. Tuch is in his contract year, and whether it is with the Sabres or for another team you would have thought that he would want to showcase his talent and worth. He seemed disinterested. Tage has recently played with some anger and pep. This was a good opportunity for him to show the coach that he should be our #1 center. Compared to the previous number of periods, he seemed to have coasted along acting as if this was a preseason game where one played knowing that your role was locked in. This lackadaisical attitude permeates the roster. Sure there are interludes when the team shows that it is capable of keeping up with the upper-tier teams. But the unappealing truth is that this team resides at the bottom of the heap because it deserves to be there. There is little organizational accountability because our owner has created a system where it is not upheld. When your owner is an invisible presence, it shouldn't be a surprise that the franchise turns out to be an inconsequential and irrelevant NHL franchise.

This is good, it is the right move. Now solve the 3 headed goalie monster next Too bad its not 2 moves, as we still likely dont see Benson till sunday

This is goalie interference.

Agree that's the situation not winning has put the new hure in. Rebuild or whatever gross term we'd want to use.

You may be on to something here. Checks the Nostalgia box.

Seems like a no brainer move. But with this organization, you never know.

Watch Boston claim him. They like his compete level. 😇
