Game sucked but I feel like many people forget what this teams expectations were for the season. Everyone knew coming in that they were several pieces short of being a good team. Then they won some games in electrifying fashion and now most people are incredulous as to how the Sabres can lose these games. I got your answer. This team was never that good. They are still missing several pieces they need to get over the hump. The kids are still learning NHL hockey, zone coverage and defensively responsibilities. This team is almost exactly where they were predicted to be. On the fringe of the playoffs, most likely in the outside looking in.

Can one of the Canadians in this thread answer why y’all struggle so much with descriptors for 1st round draft picks? Every Canadian I hear (and wherever Paul Hamilton is from) cannot get this term correct. The most common I hear I “first pick”, “ First overall pick” (even though said player was not the first overall pick, just a first round pick).

HumanStinky! Where ya been!?!?

They don’t ***** around with anthems in Chitown. Damn!

Four Horsemen Nice!

Nooooo, say it ain’t so. We need a Hiney Stroka.

This X 1000. The good will they have banked the last calendar year is very tenuous. We’ve been down this Charlie Brown, Lucy path before only to get the ball taken away EVERY SINGLE TIME!

Sounds like it slithered away

I couldn’t agree more. Every draft needs one a-hole.

Unfortunately, none of the reinforcements bring things to the table that the Sabres are in desperate need of. Hitting, toughness, aggression, agitation. More shooters and puck movers. Sigh.

The Sabres getting treated like *****? What ever works for you I guess.

The league wants it this way. They do nothing to dissuade it. They actually promote it.

I like KO giving it to Barkov but I need other players to step up similarly

The kids need to stand up to the bullies or they will get disrespected continuously.

Me? Plenty.

Production costs?

I thought 42 didn’t do anything egregious. It was pretty tame. Optics were worse than the intent. I’ve seen less called tho.

Alex if you are going to take a penalty, make it ***** worth it and leave a piece of the other guy on the ice

I love DC but this team really needs a Tkuchuk type more. As long as the league is going to let punks like him get away with murder on the ice and penalize other teams for trying to keep them in check, I want at least one of those guys on my team.

The start time doesn’t bother me, it’s the fact that many US employers don’t acknowledge today as a holiday.

I think Slipknot summed it up for all of us: People = *****

Sarcasm emoji? ☹️ I’ve worked for 2 companies the last 24 years. Neither ever has MLK day as a holiday. Sigh.

No one needs to worry about the Rochester D.

It’s a paper transaction just like Quinn & UPL earlier this week

Can you send my boss the memo? Please and thanks. 😀
