Paging @JohnC ....

This has been said 100's of times over the past few seasons. KA is going to be promoted, not canned. Meanwhile, Terry is finalizing the Sabres budget for 2026.

Minnesota is on a 9-0-1 streak while averaging just 3 goals per game. What does that say about team defense and goaltending? This is going to be 4-1 loss.

Yes but referees with even a bit of a brain call it a major so they can review it and than reduce it to a minor if warranted

And the band plays on...

Right, those are the current rules. But since they allow for reviews of other non consequential crap, why stop there? If a player is injured cleary by a missed call that could be a major (or even jsut head contact) why not look at it.... College has targeting rules. Just seems weird that a league that is pretending to care about player safety allows a foe a review of 1mm of ice but this is a big Oh well, we didn't see it, carry on

It's a win win. The Sabres win, yay. Sabres loose, one game closer to ka getting canned, right? Right????

You're going to be disappointed when Adams is made POHO, Jarmo becomes GM and Appert is named HC. We'll give Tuch an 8 year deal and make no other changes. The year will be 2055 and UPL will still be our starter. The misery with this team is unending.

Apparently it bears repeating. It never matters what the other team has done previously while playing the Sabres. They are the antidote for teams playing the night before or mired in a losing slump. No worries, your Buffalo Sabres are here to make sure everyone’s favorite team get a leisurely game to play where only a modicum of effort can propel you to the W column. Who the hell knows if or when that’s gonna happen but probably not on a road trip.

Who's the forechecker with anger management issues in this draft?

Can someone fire Adams and replace the coaching staff please???? At this point even Torts would have an improvement.

Both teams are coming off a game last night and are playing their third game in 4 days. Sluggish pace expected. Wallstedt played last night, so the Sabres don't have to play a goalie whose numbers look like this: 7-0-2 1.93 GAA .938 sv%. They can't possibly get goalied tonight by a backup, right? (I still was certain that they were going to take Wallstedt with the Rosen pick since they hadn't given Ullmark a multiyear extension.) How is Gustavsson against the Sabres? A career sv% of... .938. Well, #####. This is either a game the Sabres magically show up for and net 7+, or they get 0 or maybe 1 really early -- tell themselves good job, and get shutdown the rest of the way.

Depends on how long he wants to sign for. If he hits FA, he's probably going to sign for 5 years max. With the Sabres, he probably could sign for 8 years. But if both parties know that he's definitely not signing with Buffalo, the Sabres should be working on moving him NOW. And a competent owner would not want Adams to have anything to do with that deal. Too bad the Sabres don't have a competent owner.

I don’t see the game, but they only review if it has already been called a major.

Without beer goggles, here's my Debbie Downer: I expect the Wild forecheck to crash and crush our D. Certainly wish things were otherwise. Go Sabres

It may have been made by Tuch already. I’m sure he is not happy that the Sabres took a hard stance on their price. Looks to me like he’s fine walking into free agency. Tuch and his agent know the Sabres shouldn’t be playing hard ball at this moment.

Bring it of scoring funk is a moot point. The team skills is not at the NHL level and they’re no where close to being a playoff team. The only reason why they’re still in it points wise right now is because the rest of the true playoff teams in the east have played like ass. A double digit losing streak is most likely in the immediate future for the Sabres that will cement them in the bottom of the standings for good.
