I don't even know where to start with that post. Maybe with the idea that fans should ignore context when evaluating each season. An argument could be made that the drought should be put to the side in fairness to the players who aren't responsible for all of it. The fans' displeasure this season has a lot more to do with performance vs. last year IMHO. When the team started .500 over the first 20 games then had a terrible 10 game segment in late November and early December and THEN got routed by the woeful BJs at home, all bets were off with the fans. They chanted for Don's head once. He has gotten off easy. I can't even believe we're having this discussion.

Did he say anything about the players not stick saluting?

And then one day... It's like a miracle... It will disappear.

Credit to @johnwawrow for asking one tough question. Granato said the team wasn't dealing with pressure well. John asked wasn't that what last year was for? To learn that skill? "It's a process!" Don started to get a little snippy. Not used to being questioned. Hoppe had his hard hitter... Comment on how Krebs' line was the best line on the ice in the first. Lyskowski... Is Tage trending up? Mike's been tamed but did come up a direct question about Skinner. John also had the temerity to say it's about wins after Granato claimed the Sabres have made many strides in areas that needed improvement. The coach said, "Obviously" it's about the wins. It's not obvious to a lot of us that winning is what Sabres hockey is about.

Brian cackles and now off on a silly tangent. Tone. Deaf.

Brian is off to a slow start on the postgame. Appropriately somber. Make no mistake the cackles will come.

I didn't hear it. But I have a cheapo TV. Stop. They did not dominate.

Fair or unfair to ask Dahlin to score there?

The Tage chance... No review? If it was a playoff it would have been a 10 minute look.

They got this. Late tie and shootout win. But it won't feel satisfying.

Is this the inevitable result of "just put pucks on net"?

That needs to go in.

The Ducks are not going away. Says Dan. I really think I'm losing my mind. Am I being gaslit?

I hope Cozens is OK. He's just not there.

End of shift for Cozens?

The corpse of Okposo awaits a pass that never comes. I was open! So didn't everyone's Siri just start playing NHL standings?

Saw them at Fantasy Island in 88. They all had some GI bug. Not pretty.

Were you anally probed by the aliens? Hope you got Krosko!

I see the dysfunction this way. There's talent on display and the work ethic has been there but they look like they've never been coached to win hockey games.

Leaky.

Huh?

Low post then off goalie.

OK take this game by the canned yams.

Pretty close. He's a bit too clever. Here come the Buffalo Sabres.
