https://www.bostonglobe.com/2024/03/30/sports/sunday-hockey-notes-predators-u2/ Sabres again will go home early The Sabres’ official time of death — a 13th consecutive season of missing the playoffs — will be any hour now. A five-win flurry early this month had them flirting briefly with the second wild-card seed in the Eastern Conference. They then lost three of four, including an 8-3 beatdown in Edmonton, and that was essentially the death rattle. For those who might have lost track, the Sabres have not qualified for the playoffs since the spring of 2011, facing the Flyers in Round 1 only weeks after fracking billionaire Terry Pegula ponied up just shy of $200 million to become the Crossed Swords’ owner. Outcome: The Flyers clinched the series in Game 7, despite the best efforts of Buffalo’s top scorer, defenseman Marc-Andre Gragnani (seven games, 7 points). Extra points to you this morning if you recall the hyphenated first name or that someone with the last name Gragnani ever played for the Sabres. A quick summation of the comings and goings alongside Lake Erie since April 2011. The Sabres have had: ▪ Four general managers: Darcy Regier, Tim Murray, Jason Botterill, and Kevyn Adams. ▪ Seven coaches: Lindy Ruff, Ron Rolston, Ted Nolan, Dan Bylsma, Phil Housley, Ralph Krueger, and Don Granato. ▪ Six captains: Jason Pominville, Thomas Vanek, Steve Ott, Brian Gionta, Jack Eichel, and Kyle Okposo, who was dealt to the Panthers at the March 8 deadline. ▪ A truckload of draft picks (103), including 19 in the first round. ▪ One owner: Pegula, whose payroll beginning in 2011-12, spanning the 13 DNQs, is now approaching $1 billion. That’s $1 billion and not a single playoff game.
