Let not pretend like the Bruins under the Jacobs and the Sabres under Pegula are even remotely comparable.

If we stay at 9 I'm wishing for Carter Bear but ultimately hope it's traded for a proven player.

When you have the talent to succeed but continuously make excuses and have no accountability eventually you end up having to look in the mirror. You can blame everyone else, but at the end of the day, they are the ones on the ice not getting it done. In life you can either make excuses or get results, never both. All the players on this team have done is make excuses.

But if the last game in FLA is any indicator of how tonight's game will go; drinking a shot when the SC is shown or mentioned during the broadcast will leave one significantly more sober than they'd be if they drink one every time Travis and Taylor Swift are shown/mentioned. Is there NO media at all that those 2 don't polute?

Ah, further back. Agree with Sam. I always thought they worked to keep Jack, but were unsuccessful, and ROR was more about the Sabres wanting to dump him than the other way around. But that entire COViD team was them happily sending them out the door: McCabe, Montour, Hall, Risto, Staal… I guess the tried on Ullmark. Curious what will come out of the Peterka situation once the dust settles as to the whys and the spin. But all that really matters to me is the result.

The game I knew Mattias Samuelsson had no place on my team.

Adams doesn’t want to know because he might have to tell Terry that he’s the problem and Adams is all about self-preservation. It’s easier to just say they don’t want to be here because what can you do? They’ve made up their mind they want to leave.

Because they don’t have a history of refusing to spend when the team isn’t making it.

^There’s one (see emoji reaction)

Ya he’s a mofo

Reason for hope: the Bills have the strongest roster they’ve had since the 90s. As for the Sabres, maybe dimwit KA gets lucky in a trade for Byram, Peterka, etc

Nothing. They are heading for another rebuild after they ***** the bed next season. This season they will lose Peterka and Tuch. After next season it will be Tage and Dahlin. One player will not save this team.

So don't beat up a guy from another team beat up a teammate to reset the culture? Sure, why not. Might actually win a fight that way. Team broke with Lucic Miller and it has never recovered.

If folks are watching the game tonight, don't drink a shot every time they show or mention the Stanley Cup in the building. Your loved ones need you alive tomorrow.

Adams isn't smart.

Can we just trade Pegula and 23 first round picks to the city of Boston to bring the Jacobs back home?

I thought we were all in agreement that like 96% of the problem with the Sabres was the org as whole. Especially after that Fairburn article that linked Pegula to Adams on basically day one. Ya learn something new everyday.

And the mofo's running the show don't seem to be smart enough to ask these guys who've all said they WANT to be here in the past (most of them multiple times as they've had multiple end of season interviews with coaches and management) what THEY (management) need to do to get them to continue to feel that way. IF your metric and a key factor in what players you want is a player WANTING to be a Sabre; well wtf are YOU (management and ownership) doing to KEEP these guys wanting to be here PLUS getting other players that aren't here to have the opinion that Buffalo IS a good place to play hockey and those other pleyers would wear the sweater WITH PRIDE?

I feel like if we had just one guy ready and willing to carry out a little locker room justice on a guy like Samuelsson, that would be the kick in the A this team needs. Sure, Samuelsson might cry his way outta town, but I'd hope the younger impressionable players would take note and get on board.

Remember when we hated on the team for switching to video scouting?

Maybe instead of looking for anyone else to blame and trying to leave these players should take a good hard look in the mirror and realize that they are the problem collectively and that they have the ability to provide the answers as well.

12 years. But otherwise, yeah

You are right that there is zero chance that half the roster will be flipped. And that would be the right approach to take. There needs to be a few consequential moves to change the roster dynamic. I have little confidence in KA but as @Thornypoints out the $$$ should be put on Jarmo.

It just reveals what we already know....this team is full of coasters who don't want to get their hands dirty and put in the work. It will be sooner than later when Tage adds his name to the list of people who will demand out of here. I started to think that it would be best to relocate for a year if you knew you could get a brand new team after the 2025 season. Either that or trade Dahlin, Tuch, Peterka and Tuch and start with a whole new group. It can't get any worse than it is now and maybe the next group will offer entertaining hockey once in a while.
