Perhaps, but they had gone the free agent way first, which got them nowhere. So unless Pegula signed those guys himself, which I suppose is entirely possible, what other options did they have?

I never said he wasn’t succesful, for a time. However, I am saying that by the time he was fired, he hadn’t been succesful for a long time. And that he was the guy behind the tank strategy. Like it or not.

Tim Murray, while clueless, inherited a mess. Regiers succesful trades were ancient history by the time he was fired, and pretty much ended with getting Briere for Gratton, and Drury for Warrener. Fact is, he had been behind the curve in terms of building a succesful team for years. Steve Bernier, Brad Boyes, Cody Hodgson etc. weren’t exactly steals. His free agent signings backfired as well. Christian Erhoff, and Robyn Regher anyone?

You’re right, they lost to Boston and Philly, my bad. Ruff, no. Regier? You’re damn straight I do, he was the idiot behind the whole tank strategy.

They made the playoffs once, after black sunday. The dreaded “Core” of Roy, Stafford, Pominville, Myers, Ennis, etc. were equally as insufferable to watch, and were the very reason “the tank” became a strategy. Believe me, it was here before Pegula, as much as I dislike the guy.

Adams? This culture was here way before Adams, I distinctly remember Derek Roy and Jason Pominville and their “how’s my hair” brand of hockey, way before Ruff and Regier were fired.

I’m sure the Sabres would’ve been really angry, had we done something similar. How dare anyone expect them to work? The audacity…!! Look…. The other team just got lucky, a bounce here and there, but at least they came back and scored two goals, right? These guys make me want to throw up.

Nothing. I’m sick of rookie coaching staffs, and underachieving “company men”. I want someone who’ll call out players in public when they don’t show up, and tell the owner mind his own f’ing business, or take the bench himself. I’m sick of feelgood BS and cuddling. Will it push this team over the hump? No freakin’ clue, but cuddling and feelgood BS sure as ***** hasn’t either, so have at it I say.

I don’t hate the person, but I do so loathe Thompsons lack of effort, and always peeling off after losing the puck or having his shot stopped. Show some freakin’ heart and win that thing back, or jam it home! Lazy slacker! Campbell threw some pretty memorable hits too, when called upon.

On the plus-side, we sure know how to draft, huh? Too bad we suck at everything else…

No. Clearly, KA sees no need for changes, hence the on-ice product remains the same.

Failure rate : 100%. Flawless failure.

Sabres have always let their goalies to get run without breaking a nail. I’m surprised other teams don’t do it more.

Guy has the easiest job in the league - Doing ***** all. God, everytime I think we can’t possibly do worse, an assclown like this guy opens his mouth, and proves me wrong. How do such incompetent IDIOTS end up in jobs like this?

We have expectation to win installed? Since when?? Why am I always the last to hear of these things??!!

Girgensons in only an NHL player in Buffalo.

I’d actually prefer it that way…

KO has done f*ck all than collect a huge paycheck while never making the playoffs here. Goodbye, and good riddance.

This! The oldest trick in the Sabres playbook! The late season rally! There’s a reason they say “you can’t make the playoffs in November, but you can certainly miss them”. That should be painted on the freakin’ locker room floor!

I would rather miss the playoffs for an additional 12 years straight, than have either scumbag brother on this team.

Because we’re not scoring enough goals to play that way this year, and if not for UPL, we wouldn’t have last night either. First win of the season when scoring less than three goals.

Totally agree. Way too wide open for a road game, UPL stole this one. And what was with the complete slot collapse after the Jackets pulled the goaltender? Standing around just waiting, and letting them pass it around like that? It’s 6 on 5, not 4 on 3! Our luck the Jackets are crap!

Play without home fans, because the fans are so meeeeeeaaaan, apparently. Another crest on the jersey seems to work?

No.

The atmosphere is “toxic”? The team has been hot dogshit for over a decade, but the atmosphere is “toxic”? If so, then it’s for a damn good reason. These guys are bums, nothing more. Always looking for excuses for being bums. Have been for over a decade.
