It’s the norm

Sabres fans don’t have room to laugh at any fanbase in any sport

Skinner is awful

It’s time for me to log off

I’ve worked for owners who jumped for joy over piles of money to grab the pennies they could see on the other side. Maybe Terry has surrounded himself with people that can prevent it. Maybe…

A valuable lesson that clearly our org hasn’t learned from. Embarrassing to say the least. Just hoping I get a notification on 4/16 that Adams and Granato have been relieved of their duties. Then I hope they trade some of these kids for actual men.

He has been. My only gripe is that he’s a Bryson clone. No more 5’9” defenseman please.

Or no one wants to come here.

That’s too deep into the weeds for my liking. Who knows what he actually does but I’d rather not have the owner asking hockey questions. The new Italian guy should be asking Adams those questions. When his answers suck, which undoubtedly they will, he should fire Kevyn on the spot.

I’m all for a new head coach and I’m not sure I even want to mention the pathetic looking assistants. They need to be fired before they explode out of their clothes. Do the Sabres have a dietitian? Can the coaches get some advice? Sheesh.

How so many people exonerate the players is beyond comprehension. I’ve lost faith in Granato and Adams but to think a different guy with different words is going to make them a Stanley Cup contender is baffling. Do fans want coaches to bench Tage and Dahlin? Put Rousek and Ryan Johnson in their place? Or does the mean coach have to make them skate harder in practice? Is that going to light a fire under players who can’t be bothered to be ready to play in the National Hockey League? The team is rotten to its core. They all need to go. No one person is going to make them a serious team.

In a season of disappointment, this thread easily takes the top spot as the most disappointing. If they run any lineup out there similar to this season, I may have to stop watching. Who has faith that any of the players listed, who have objectively failed at providing the bare minimum of success, can provide it in the future? I don’t want to hear that a new coach fixes them. You can’t change a tiger’s stripes. These guys don’t have what it takes. They don’t compete, they don’t have mental toughness and they roll over at the first sign of adversity.

Rempe is a bit of a sideshow but I’d trade Jokijarju or the forward equivalent plus some picks for him. He’s not a great player but he brings things no Sabres does.

Parayko is among the leagues worst contracts. The Blues would give him away. Someone mentioned trading a 2nd round pick for him. That might be an overpayment. 🤣

I just don’t think you can have a team of passengers. That’s what the Sabres are. I guess Dahlin might not be but I find him very hard to like. Just not my style of player. If they had a Tkachuk, Jenner, Doughty, Trouba, Larkin, someone of that ilk, I’d live with Dahlin’s game.

Two things can be true. The media can over blow perceived discretions and the person causing the issues can also be a giant tool. They don’t have to be mutually exclusive. I was hammered and came at you too hard. Something I am willing to admit.

It’d would certainly give the org some balls

They need one more point to make the playoffs. I think they will be fine.

Power and Kulich is probably what it would take.

My father in law is good buds with Jim. I also worked with him back in the malls in the 90s.

Legit question, does TP still drill wells? Or he has gotten out of the business?

With him and Novikov in the org, they finally have some players with size that use it. But they can’t be expected to lead the way in that regard. They need players like Tkachuk & Trouba. Physical players that lead and other teams are leery of. The team also needs players that can drop the gloves. I’m not talking about Reeves or any one dimensional goons. Power forwards that stick up for teammates. Dmen that pounce on you if you look at the goalie sideways. Almost every good team has players like this. Buffalo does not.

Unless GMKA is trafficking meth, I doubt it.

He has fit right in. Big kid that plays that way. I vote for not.
