Well, now that we’ve gotten the fly by out of the way, shall we commence to dog fighting skills? I’m off to Disney World, hope this team figures it out, and soon.

I suppose so. I just feel the whole thing needs a severe shock to the system. That may make it worse before it's better but this path will lead nowhere different from where it's been. Really won't matter who gets hired though if it's still terry's vision, Terry's choices/favorites, Terry's idea of what type of hockey (and type of players) and so forth. new management needs autonomy and I don't think terry will give that.

I’m not sure I want him as the GM or anyone that is currently in this organization. I actually want the whole hockey department fired, from top to bottom. Almost like starting an expansion team. The scouting department isn’t good enough with as many picks as they have had and you don’t really have much to show for it. I mean how many more smallish players is this team gonna draft. We need players with some size that have sand paper in their game. All upper management gone, all the scouting department gone, head coach along with assistant coaches gone, and yes even the strength and conditioning coach gone. This is unacceptable with what has happened to this franchise. They are the laughing stock of the entire league. What happens with Tuch? Do you overpay him or do you move him? If he gets moved then how much longer before Dahlin and Thompson want out? Then Byram will want out once his two year deal is up. The cycle will just continue and nobody wants Adams to make any trades because he doesn’t get enough back in return.

With Kekäläinen as GM it could happen.

Games like this make me want to hire Tortorella to bag skate them into submission, subtract half the roster and create enough chaos to build something new out of. I know I know, dinosaur, over the hill, not the guy we want. I don't care. I just want to hire him to punish these guys. They deserve it.

I've said it before and will keep saying it until they do something else. Hire Rick Dudley as Senior Advisor. Give him free reign to hire/fire everyone else.

Problem is I don't think moving Tuch for a prospect does anything to help this team. It'll just further the narrative of being a farm team for the league and players all want out. You going to tell Dahlin to wait another year or two? I think you need multiple trades and a roster overhaul. Change the direction. Moving Tuch in a larger package or a roster reshaping for next year is a better sell to everyone.

Ruff, the Captain and Assistants didn’t respect the Flames, the fans, or themselves.

They don't battle. They don't seem to care. They accept losing too easily. I hate to say it but it is just like Shorsey. "they don't hate to lose". In all these years they have had a broken culture and they do not fix it. They just think it will fix itself and it doesn't. Fine and dandy for guys like Tage to say they took them lightly but where was he? What was his mantra? I did the work with Detroit so it's your turn tonight? Was that it? It has to be every game. Every shift. Every loose puck. It just never is. Lazy stupid team.

We came out flat and the Flames came out flying to start the game and to start the final period. That’s both coaching and lack of player determination. The Flames wanted it more than we did. Confounding until you realize the team quit in the final minutes. It can only get worse after it sinks in this will be another year of no post season play and it’s not even Thanksgiving.

Colorado is good. Da’ Flames are 32nd.

tonight it was obvious that something has to give with the Tuch situation! you simply cannot have a guy wearing an A out on the ice playing like it's Sunday afternoon game of shinny. Here are the teams I’m contacting and seeing if they have any interest in Tuch 1. New Jersey Devils With Hughes out long-term, they could use another forward. Would they consider moving Anton Silayev? Probably not — Casey feels like the more realistic target. 2. Montreal Canadiens Reinbacher is their top RHD prospect and likely too rich for them to move, but maybe they’d consider dealing their top LHD prospect, Engström. 3. Vancouver Canucks Their best prospect, Willander, is almost certainly untouchable. But Kudryavtsev might be available — a shutdown type who already has some NHL games under his belt. 4. Utah Mammoth They’ve got both Simashev and Lamoureux — massive defenders who are either in the NHL (Simashev) or close to it (Lamoureux). Maybe they’d view Tuch as the kind of piece that could help push them into the playoffs. With Tuch being the top prize in this year’s UFA market, hopefully the Sabres can capitalize and land a better prospect than you’d normally expect for a player on an expiring deal.

I would fire the entire scouting staff. Whoever decided to sign Geertsen must have never watched him play last season. He was invisible

Yeah, haven’t really been a fan of Greenway.

1 win in regulation in the last 9 games since 15 minutes a night, 2 points on the season, and a minus 5 Jordan Greenway has come back to suck even more offense out of the room. PLEASE PUT ANYONE THAT CAN SCORE AT ALL IN FOR HIM.

Why are, of all teams in the NHL, the Calgary Flames reigning supreme in the Sabres barn? They usually win IN Calgary, but they look like trash against them in Buffalo. The exact opposite of their provincial neighbor Eulers. Why, for as good as he played the rest of the game, did Samuelsson take the puck away from Ellis only to give it to the Flame? Why did the NHL overrule the refs on a call that it took the Calgary coaches more than their entire timeout's time to decide to challenge? And why is Seth Appert still devising the Sabres power play? IF there was ANY possibility the Sabres MIGHT score on one, they wouldn't have risked the challenge and possibly having the score tied less than 2 minutes later. But the Sabres PP is hot trash and doesn't scare anyone. Why, after looking good together for 5 periods did Byram and Timmons decide to look like the pair that was playing in Detroit before Kesselring broke? They were horrible in the 3rd. Why, do we have Quinn, Rosen, and Bryson out on the ice at the same time? Why did Tuch look so disinterested out there? Why did Doan try to pass when in the slot and then get the puck back along the boards near the blue line and decide to shoot from there? Sooooo many questions, so few answers. ???????????????????

That’s code for terrible effort. Im sure Calgary didn’t respect us either. Not enough talent here to take nights off - or give just 75 percent. They can’t do it unless the goalie stands on his head. Getting down 2-0 can’t happen in a game like this.

Bills are playing Saturday after going tomorrow night? Wow, the NFL schedule really is getting nuts. 😉

Lol

The real indictment of the entire Adams era is this Sabres team falling apart in the 3rd against the worst team in the NHL

Not with this front office and coaching staff. Everyone needs to go. They need to start fresh, a new GM, a new scouting department, new coaches, even a new strength and conditioning coach. This team sucks! Couldn’t agree more, the only reason why the Bills are where they are at is because they hit a grand slam with Allen. I don’t have much faith in Beane either.

He’s not even worth close to that. He’s maybe 6 million tops

This is not a team. It's just a bunch of individual players who have no clue, no common goal, no direction, no idea of how to spell the word win. They need some serious guidance which they are obviously not getting. There is no consistent passion. Shirley Temple hockey.

I really hope they are embarrassed. That was bad.
