We rarely go to the net like this terrible team does against us. 

[Someone Tell Me What Owen Power Does Well?!?!]

It's hard to believe a 21 year old can get better.  This hardly ever happens in the NHL.  By now he should be fully developed and peaking.

Trading away our franchise center and a 500pt winger for pucks, AND loosing our 1A goalie (without replacing him) would make it pretty obvious that he (in fact) is not at all committed to the success of this team.

Or he really has no idea how hockey works. Take your pick. 

Haha, trading for pucks.  That's so funny and I've never heard that before.   Do you post by yourself or is there a team behind you?

No one said the players don’t care about Buffalo or the fans.  There is ample evidence they do care,  

Questioning KA’s commitment to winning is a legit question given how he has constructed the team.  The thread asks a question and posters are welcome to argue either side.  I believe that the organization isn’t committed to winning, but it’s certainly possible, as someone posted above, is that KA is simply incompetent and doesn’t know how to move the team forward.  If you believe that KA and the team is committed to winning, you are welcome to say so and bring any evidence you have to support that contention to the discussion.  Maybe the argument is that he is committed but his timetable is longer than the media and fans want.

 

No it isn't a legit question. You saying it is,  doesn't make it so.

Merry Christmas Sabres brethren

I wonder if having the most TOI and most games played, would increase your chances of being on the ice when a goal is scored on a team that's 14-17-3?

I don't possess that eye for prospects.  Nice to see someone you felt strongly about, coming through.  I get intrigued when posters like you get that way about a player.

I'm sorry but UPL has just flat out gotten better.

I remember when Liger started telling us (that didn't know) about a young man named JJ Peterka.  We kept a close eye on his development and he's proving to be working himself into the player we all hoped for. 

Good on you JJ.

I don't follow junior hockey, so who are the Sabres tanking for NOW?

You think this is tanking?

[Do you care about the Sabres anymore?]

I definitely still care.  My issue is I have to find, what I would consider,  reason for hope to care at a level of keeping up with the team game by game.  

I lost that when Lindy left.  I lost that when the O'Reilly thing happened.  I lost it when the team built with Eichel and Sam was complete and didn't work. Etc....

I'm still following daily but I just don't know what we are right now.  Heck last year it was clearer.  We were a goal scoring team with no defense and no goaltending. 

This year we're no defense, decent goaltending and dramatically lesser offense - and the team is seemingly built.  I'm disappointed basically and I don't see a reasonable answer. The crazy thing is I like almost all the players but dislike them as a team. So I suppose I'm also frustrated.   

I want that reason for hope, as mentioned above. I'm unsure it's there and leaning towards pretty sure it's not.  And that sucks!

Is Robinson forcing us to like him?  He's been a nice contributor.

People blaming the power play, poor D play, bad shootout goaltending, terrible puck luck on the finish, just remember, this was all brought to you by Terry Pegula. Under Pegulas ownership, this organization, a once proud brand, has been completely destroyed. Expect this to continue, no seriously, resign yourselves to the fact that none of this is going to change anytime soon.

I'm rooting for LA lately, but I also like the Avs.

Totally understand the frustration but I could never say something like this.
