I talked myself into feeling positive about the Ruff move this summer. It was great nostalgia seeing him yucking it up with Razor and some of the older guys in those offseason videos. But as soon as Toronto fired Keefe on May 9 I was like dang, i wish we would have waited and hired that guy. Then of course he goes to NJ.

Dang, was hoping the Sabres would surprise us this one time, and come out score, take a lead and get a big W today. Now another multi-goal first period deficit. Didn't we lead the league last year? Not giving up on this game by any means, but we have to score the next goal. It's not an option.

Good. Caps were nothing this year. Glad they’re making tee times

Sorry, but i hate the re-hire thing. Hope im wrong but i was wanting a proven coach from outside the organization.

No to Ruff. You don't go backwards, forge ahead with someone from outside the organization.

Anyone have that meme where the Sabres player is holding golf clubs over their head in place of the Stanley Cup? I need that image.

I always harp on desperately getting the loser point as opposed to the brutal 1 goal regulation losses. Buffalo has 30 wins and 5 OT losses. The NY Islanders have 29 wins and 14 OT losses. Guess which team is in the playoffs as of today.

He wasn't in top form that's for sure but I won't blame him. It feels like he's taken the L for several 2-1, 3-2 type games where he's played well and wasn't rewarded. Didn't he lose a 1-0 game too? The Sabres should have had 6 goals yesterday at least. Yes, they are all kicking themselves for "gifting" Anaheim their 4 goals but no NHL team is going to play a perfect turnover free game. That shouldn't be the expectation. And UPL has bailed the club out on the bad turnovers for the most part.

That’s why the 7-0 win was fraudulent. makes their stats looks better but the team can’t win low scoring games. Need to trade some of the younger guys and get experience here. behind the bench too.

No team loses more home games in regulation than the Sabres in the Pegula era. Sell the team Terry! Such a bummer that on Feb. 7th the Sabres are basically playing exhibition games till the end of the season.

I would not go to a game with free tickets, and I was a huge fan for 30 years with seasons.. But anyway, this team has no culture of winning and making the playoffs. It's really hard to blast off with a bunch of young guys. I don't know what the exact answer is? Teams with the culture of winning like Tampa can get injuries and call up a bunch of guys from the minors,,,and they still win. Maybe not at the rate they used to, but the expectation and culture in is place. Maybe Buffalo needs to swap out some guys that have no history of team success for Vets that have been there and done it.

Say it every week of every year. They just cannot get enough losses to OT to at least get a point. Especially at home. So many regulation losses.

Yep. I’m always saying, other NHL teams are down, have rebuilds, Win, have down cycles, rebuild again, Win, etc… all the while the Sabres stay at the bottom. Think of all the examples like this. It’s really pathetic with this franchise. Please sell the team Terry! any owner would do better, just by accident. and you wouldn’t have to upgrade the arena. Just sell.

Too bad for Dion Dawkins. Seems like recently every game he attends and bangs the drum, the Sabres get boatraced. Seattle is just one of those teams that we can’t beat.

Seth has better hair. Hire Seth. (coming from someone who’s dome looks like Donny Meatballs).

Seems like a lot of opponents “get right” vs Buffalo after a poor effort in their previous games. Meanwhile the Sabres should be the most desperate team every game based on years of ineptitude. But anyway, hopefully it’s a good game for the boys. The Leafs let in so many soft goals the other night it’s going to take more effort and hard work today.

It’s like the players had a pregame meeting and decided, Let’s get Don fired tonight. And they executed to perfection.

I like Donny. He’s a good hockey man from a solid family. too bad this team laid him out to be axed like this. But it has to happen.

Over the past how many years, there can’t be a more miserable NHL franchise. I don’t think there even is a 2nd place. No franchise is close to the misery Buffalo fans have endured since Terry bought the team. I’m at a loss for words.

Wow, didn’t we beat this team by the exact same score last season? it’s payback time for sure.

Pegula got very lucky Mcdermott and Beane worked out the way they have. But i give Pegs full credit for interviewing and hiring them. He needs to sell the Sabres. They have been nothing but crap since he’s owned them. absolute garbage. and the arena needs upkeep repairs asap

I actually thought Jack Quinn being back was a great omen tonight. lol

Been saying it for 2 years. Sell the team Terry. They are absolute ***** with you as an owner and nobody, not the best hockey minds in the word can get out from under it in Buffalo.

Lol. Feels so normal to have a depressing home loss. How pathetic that is.

Assuming they start UPL for Arizona. I’m gonna give the big guy the benefit of the doubt that he was a bit sluggish coming off his 10 day illness. He should be better as a backup to Levi. For now Levi is the man though.
