The thought of blowing it up and starting over used to scare the shite out of me but I don't really have that fear anymore. The alternative scares me more. Time to change the culture of this team.

To play the wrong note is insignificant, to play without passion is inexcusable. - Ludwig Van Beethoven This about sums it up for me.

Hopefully young, skilled, hungry players with a bit of a chip on their shoulders and something to prove.

Ted Danson looks a little upset behind the Sabres bench

Regier must have sweaty palms. There have been some good signs but few and far between. This is one boring hockey game.

Most people would agree that this team had and still has many problems. Lindy being one of them.

Grinnen bout MacKinnon

I realize he was playing the shooter. Thats obvious. I just thought he came out a little too far.

Well there is the fact that he could have gotten over to his right to stop the puck but no, not a bit.

Miller should have stayed back in his net more.

Ennis is creating a lot of havoc at times. Its fun watching the isles defence back up when he gets the puck. Everyone seems to look real nervous when he gets the puck with some space.

Well if I had 15 years of accumulated wealth from his G.M. job in Buffalo I wouldn't worry too much about it.

This is what this team needs. Guys holding each other accountable. This shouldn't have the country club atmosphere and at times it should be uncomfortable. For the ones trying to shoot the messenger that is exactly the attitude that got this team in their comfort zone of entitlement in the first place. Even Lindy was told to tone it down this year for fear of upsetting someone. What a pansy assed road to go down.

Happy Birthday d4rksabre. Lets hope the boys win. As always GO SABRES !

I've seen other N.H.L. teams on the bikes during interviews after the games ( canucks ). I thought all of the teams did this to wind down.It apparently helps reduce acid or cramps in your legs ? or something to that effect. Pretty sure all teams do it. Recently Bieksa was being interviewed in Vancouver and it looked like he was riding the bike during the interview until the cameraman panned down and he was just moving his legs to make it look like he was on the bike. He gave the cameraman shite for ruining the illusion. It was quite funny.

Whats that say about the Sabres as a team when people say he's a good coach and he'll win the cup one day but he just wasn't going to get it done here ? To me it says something about Darcys team building skills and his inability to build a roster that can compete with the best in the league. That has been obvious for years now but even as recent as last season there were some on this board saying we were 1 or 2 players away from winning the cup. Some were saying we could compete with Boston in a 7 game series even though we couldn't make the playoffs. You don't hear that now. The silence is deafening. Is everyone on the same page now ? Anyways. I was one of the outspoken calling for Lindys head and I don't regret it. A childhood idol of mine and a good coach and apparently an even better person and 'Buffalonian'. There's nothing wrong with having the opinion that its time for Lindy to move on and then after the fact still feel for the man as a person. I wish him well. Now this team needs to do the dirty work and start building a team that can compete against the best in the league and win.

This. I can't believe people actually thought changing the coach would miraculously make this team turn it around and go lossless. Firing the coach is just the first step in righting this ship.

Fire the captain,fire the captain,fire the captain.

This.

Terry has to hire a g.m. he trusts and keep away from the damn hockey department. He's in way over his head if he's making hockey decisions. Thats all this team needs is a meddling owner. If that turns out to be the case this team is in way deeper than I thought. But for Gods sake get a good hockey man to run the show.

Hopefully Pegula and Black are still weighing their options at the G.M. position and hopefully managements still working the phones.

They are who we thought they were. Lindy still needed to go. As does Regier. Change the culture. Right the ship. Anyone that expected a miracle turnaround doesn't know hockey.

You've got to be Jochen

Myers is useless

This.
