It worked for Peterka. At least as far as getting away from Adams and this franchise.

I just had a terrible thought. They finish last in their conference again and Terry follows the rumored plan. Adams to POHO, Jarmo to GM, Karmonos leaves, Ruff to Advisor, Appert to HC, Leone leaves, Prospal leaves.

Anyone else done with UPL and Lyon? They need to rid themselves of 1 if not both and hand the keys to Ellis for the remainder of the season.

That’s it for me today. For those of you still filled with hope or gluttons for punishment, will see you here tomorrow. Goodnight. Go Sabres!

I can just see Terry’s logic now. He hired this Jarmo guy to teach Kevyn how to be a GM. Kevyn still doesn’t know, so Jarmo must be fired.

Quite often effort isn't the issue...not any more so than other teams. THE ISSUE is a poorly constructed, low skill level team that isn't helped by coaching or management. 41 shots and ZERO goals???? 6 goals allowed??? Players aren't skilled enough to pass and shoot with accuracy. Defenders are unable to help keep the puck out of the net! Coaches aren't coaching strategies that these particular players are capable of playing. Duuuuh??? 👍 Yep.....what will it take?🫤

Back in town for Thanksgiving so decided to make it to a game for the first time in about 5 years. Even felt the need to take my youngest to his first NHL game with me. What a mistake that was. Think I officially broke him. He never wants to go back again!

I want to see Norris in the lineup. Has played a total of 4 games out of 50 since joining the Sabres. 3 last season and 1 this season. Now he is day-to-day. Time for him to show up and earn his keep. No point in saving him for some playoff run. Maybe he can give a spark to help salvage the season from an entertainment perspective at least.

I didn't say that Pegula will do anything. Just pointed out that firing Adams sooner is way better than later. I have no confidence Terry will do this. Greenway and Bryam were already signed this past off season to the tune of 10M combined. They were trash signings. They are dead weight and need to be traded ASAP to clear space to sign better players. Doan, Kesselring, and Benson are RFAs. How many other GMs other than Adams has difficulty signing their RFAs? He overpaid Power, Cozens, and Quinn, and completely lost Peterka. Sure, Doan, Kesselring, and Benson could play hardball against Adams. If Terry were awake, that should make him want to replace Adams ASAP to win over those RFAs, if possible. And I doubt the decision on Tuch has been made yet, because it's not a stand-alone decision, unless the decision is to let him just walk or trade him for only prospects, two of the worst and laziest decisions possible. If you want to sign Tuch, or trade him in a 'hockey' trade, Adams is going to have to move other players. Again, sooner that happens, the better.

It didn’t take 8 games.

Try it. Without checking scores I look at my clock & check game about 2 hours in. Usually the same score or effort. I've watched 12K+ & probably more hockey games in my life rough guesstimate. Played the sport personally up to a decent level. Even if.. when they get good enough to trust for a season... I don't how much I'll watch. Pegula has crushed this fan base! They can't even make a 8 team playoff in 14 years. Remember when the Sabre's made the playoffs, broke our hearts, but still had a chance to win it all years 75-2010 or so? There is a deep cancer with this organization. What a waste of a ravenous fan base.

Can you add the NJ debacle?

Yes, they are all RFAs. They could seek offer sheets or refuse to sign but it's unlikely.

Thank goodness I was out enjoying some gluhwein at a local Kristkindl market with my lovely wife and a good friend. Doan, Kesselring, and Benson are all RFAs, too - right? I mean the could refuse to sign, i guess? But that is not a great business decision.

After tonight it just feels over. They had 41 shots and actually didn’t shoot enough. How does that happen? And the first 2 goals against feature the puck popping from behind the net, to the front of the net, to in the net, with all the Sabres watching.

Greenway and Byram are already signed through next season.

Kevyn Adams or Mike Milbury. Who is worse?

2 Steps Forward 10 Steps Back. Same old situation with this team. The cycle continues

I’m pretty sure the decision on Tuch has been made already. If Doan, Kesselring, and Benson know what’s good for them they won’t sign. I’m sure they will sign Greenway and Byram. You’re crazy to think Pegula is going to do anything about the GM mid-season. If he was, it would have been done already.

Can't bring up Leone. Appert is right there. He's been prepped as Adam's hand-picked HC for the last 2 seasons.

Adams does not have the competence to make that trade. The Sabres will wind up with another RHD, a 3rd line tweener, and the 29th pick in the draft. And Kev will throw in a 2nd rounder, just to drive us insane.
