A lot of Flyers fans want him gone but I don't think Briere or Tocchet does. Having said that they want D so they'd probably find a deal that works around Samuelsson (for the lineage) or maybe Byram. Tippett isn't what Sabres need though. Not imo.

In fairness to the comment, he does acknowledge that this is a "hockey market". That is something that has to be remembered and maybe the league needs to think about and go talk to Terry. Destroying an actual hockey market takes a lot of work and he's frakking it good. He isn't used to the fans being critical because he doesn't relate to 15 years of futility in an actual hockey market and how much that hurts. This happens with every new guy they bring in. They only relate to their own time frames. I don't think any of them stop and think "oh my god, for that guy in the stands it's 15 years". Nobody in the organization takes ownership of that and so it continues.

I’m not surprised by the outcome, who is at this point? However, when the game was still in doubt and we had a late PP, was anyone else hoping Ruff would throw caution to the wind and pull the goalie? If they score a shortie, who cares, but imho the odds of scoring 6 on 4 are significantly higher than 5 on 4 or 6 on 5 in the last 90 seconds. This team needs to try everything to succeed, why not pull the goalie?

Lyon looked like a beer league goalie. Team rallied to get back into the game. UPL did well. BUT for the love of God, Lindy stop pulling your goalie. This team is horrible when you do it. It is insane to do this over and over and get the same result. I hate Sabres hockey on November.

Like so many games this season, if this were just a one-off, you could live with it. most nights I think the effort is there and they look like a competent NHL team. BUT these loses aren’t isolated . They’re happening every night. Yes injuries have played a huge role but still something has to give If this was any other NHL franchise , you'd say "it's just not our year". BUT this isn't any other franchise, it's a circus of a franchise and it's time to get rid of the lead clown and Fire KA

At least they didn't humiliate themselves.

November 0-10 game Sabres swoon... wash rinse repeat... when will Sabres find a coach who can talk to young guys and still coach vets.... sigh

10-0-0 Duh.

1-4-4 in their last 10. What will be the result of the next 10 games?

upl with another soft goal. He let's in the soft fourth goal as the game looser. How in the heck are there not firings happening.

And though am not a fan of pulling the goalie early when down by only 1 under normal circumstances, would have given VERY serious consideration to pulling UPL when they gained control of the puck on the late PP w/ about 4-1/2 left to go. It gives you a 2 man advantage and you SHOULD be able to win all the loose puck battles as you absolutely can outman the PK on all board battles. Should the PP end with no goals scored, and you get a faceoff, put UPL back in the net until there's about 100 seconds left and try it again.

I imagine a loss like that must be even more demoralizing than the usual losses. They had some puck luck, some PP activity, decent effort level and still no result. The quit has to come out in some of them for sure. Can't imagine at least some of them aren't thinking how the heck do I get out of here? Watching Rosen try to defend McKinnon behind the net was just comical. They won most of the key puck battles. Team is hopeless. So which Cowboy Junkies song is next? Cause Cheap Is How I Feel? The Things We Do To Each Other? Still Lost? Spiral Down? When The Bottom Fell Out? Misery? The ones I want are, All That Reckoning and then New Dawn Coming. But more likely, We will Never Get Out Of These Blues Alive.

I used to always have the Sabres games on a full screen. Now the best I can muster on game nights is to have them be 1 of 4 squares in my ESPN+ multiview. That’s it. That’s all of the devotion I can do until major changes happen with this clownshow. I stopped spending money for tickets years ago, this is now the most they get out of me. 1 of 4 broadcasts.

I am an optimist by nature, but dang there is not much to hang your hat on. It is tough for me to reconcile an entire season down the drain in November. Again. It’s only frickin November. What else am I supposed to do all winter (that hasn’t even arrived yet). I was hoping the Sabres could finally help get me through the tough winter months instead of being the broken toy I somehow still like to play with. Survey Says? XXX

Start watching tankathon instead of the regular standings?

When does it stop?…… My wife told me to turn it off 52 seconds into the game. She said “This is your signal that the game isn’t going to go well, turn it off or you’ll get upset” Why don’t I listen to her?

If we can come up with words every night, then they certainly can. They're even being paid for their work. I need an endorsement for this.... Whatever happened to that guy's balloon rig anyway? Did it just crash down to earth and smash up someone's shed?

It wasn't a bad call. Under Granato they almost always followed up a true stinker with a full effort game and also tended to get some puck luck in that next one. They just didn't get the puck luck in this one and they forgot to come out of the gate with the full effort. Expecting a good effort in Detroit, but no idea whether it'll be enough to make up for so much of the regular lineup being out.

So if they lose to Calgary at home on the 19th does anything change?

Glad I stayed up for the epic finish

There's nothing left to say. It's past the point of no return with the current people in charge.

Well. They tied it up for 86 seconds. And the Sabres bow out in the end. Morale victory? No

"Share with me a common disaster."

Rob Ray’s incessant meaningless babbling commentary after losses, trying to suck up to Sabres ownership and management, by looking on the bright side is SO old after all these years.
