Great take

I’m fine with that stance, it’s one I subscribe to. I was giving an optimistic view to a completely unreasonable and almost impossible scenario.

The trade deadline is waaaay too late for the Sabres to make meaningful changes. They are hanging by a C hair right now. The time for change is now. The trade deadline this team will be buried.

They have to go on a ten game win streak and then play .700 hockey the remainder of the season. Sounds pretty far out of it to me.

Only if they do it right

I’m not sure why anyone is concerned what the other team’s record is when it clearly makes no difference to this team. They can lose to anyone and they can beat anyone. It just doesn’t matter.

Glad you guys are coming around

Holy ***** does McDermott need to learn this. The Bills have easily been the worst defensive Hail Mary team in the league under his tenure and he hasn’t changed it up.

I have heard almost no one give Lindy kudos for the job he’s done this season. Most fans are teetering on the fence of whether or not to keep him.

Even when they win it’s not without head shaking moments

I stand corrected. He’s definitely making a difference

Why would I want to do that? Let me find the intersection in the United States with the most traffic fatalities and stand there until someone dies. I think we all know the Sabres deficiencies, comparing them to a good team is just going to result in more frustration and pain. I’m personally not in the mood for it. I’ll watch, smoke a little and hope for the best. If they don’t perform well, it’ll be background noise while I game or smoke. I don’t need additional self inflicted wounds.

Can we just limit this forum to game day threads? All the conjecture just gets fans at each other’s throats. It’s exhausting.

I just want something, anything to hang my fan hat on. Not a lot is being provided at the moment.

I expect more from a first overall “generational” defenseman. That’s always been his problem and now Owen is facing that. These guys will never live up to their draft hype. Ever.

Östlund has been injured most of the season. Based on the limited amount I’ve seen him, he is years and I mean years away from being an NHL player.

Great. I guess we can hang our hat on that. Winning games. Not so much.

You call out every mediocre player on the Sabres vs our HOF in waiting franchise defenseman who someone managed to completely miss on a puck that he had dead to rights. He needs to never make that mistake. He also needs way better situational awareness. Several times a game he does something that makes me ask if he understands fundamental hockey. I’m genuinely curious. He makes the most difficult play almost exclusively.
