I feel like it's fitting that I didn't actually watch Ralph's last game. Step one is complete. Step two is hire any of the proven coaches currently on the market. Just pick one. It's the only way to rebuild this organizations credibility.

So, who are the Sabres? Tune in tomorrow to find out.

I wonder if he's starting to figure out there's not too many players better than him on the team..

What is wrong with you guys!

For the nonsense?

Of course not. Be real.

We shouldn't be.

The Devils should be worse than the Sabres

I'll take "Sabrespace Posts from 2012" for $200, Alex.

Taylor Hall suddenly finding out he's still playing hockey

I don't think it's a question of what this means as far as the fans coming back. The fans will come back. But if the team itself doesn't start taking things more seriously there's no way they'll ever get players that want to be here, they'll get players other teams were willing to let go. They'll be stuck over paying for bad players forever. The team will go on and on being a black hole of sadness. The fans will come back. But only if the team, from top to bottom, figures out what it stands for and starts acting accordingly. Until then, it will just be hockey purgatory, where careers go to die.

Yup. It's about the identity, the character of the franchise. A sports team exists entirely due to human experience. It's an inherently personal thing. We develop intense feelings towards individuals and subsequently the team as a whole, and the business side gets to turn that in to profits. It starts with the personality, the principles, the ethos that binds the players together, and then binds the players to the fans. But this team, as it sits right now, has no character. It has no identity. It is entirely without meaning. The Sabres aren't the team that always plays tough, or always plays fast, or always has too many good goalies. They are nothing. An ancient pyramid emptied of its treasures and filled with nothing but sand and the subtle hints of what was. And you can only sit in this state for so long before it becomes permanent. Many would probably argue that it already is, that the Sabres will never recover from this. I don't agree, but I think if they're going to they need to start right now. What are the Buffalo Sabres if they are not to be a sucking void into which everything goes and nothing, not even the light, returns?

That's the thing: it does matter, right now. In fact, I would say the situation is as dire as it gets. It's about honor. It's about pride. It's about taking the soul of the franchise seriously. If they let this team look like this all the way to the end of the season, the message being sent is: we don't care. What good player would want to be part of a team that, in this moment, isn't doing everything it can to save its soul?

The more times Wawrow says it isn't happening, the closer we get to it happening.

Please god give us a credible coach.

Harrington follows him. Dude is gonna be pissed lol Looks reputable to me.

Imagine this random former FAN-590 guy having the scoop over anyone in the Buffalo media 😂 Jason Woolley follows him, for whatever that is worth.

I'm thinking about a certain goalie a lot lately

Cozens getting hurt really stinks. He was basically the only reason left to put these games on. Hopefully he's not out too long, this is valuable experience in a lost season.

This team is cursed

They might have been better this year if Jack had been healthy for a single game. They certainly aren't any worse without broken Jack.

For the Sabres or...?

Dahlin is not a threat and it's maddening.
