The years just continue to beat you down. Some can still fight it and stay positive that everything will be OK, for others, they have been beaten down so much that you get to the 'I'll believe it when i see it" mentality.

And how do you do that when you never make it to the playoffs? ....Said pretty much every year for the last 10+ years

Were they also going to the game on their Unicorns to sit next to Sasquatch If they thought there was going to be a 'Crushing of the Bruins' they are beyond Optimism and more into the Delusional category

Wrong, just getting to the playoffs isn't good enough. If your not a cup contender its better to miss the playoffs so you can get great players through better draft picks. Thats what was said all the time here when the Sabres were Tanking for Eichel...

Most likely, I was also going to say that I would complain about the fans being there for wanting to see this in person......

But I also wouldn't want to play Goalie with the defences play in front of me either.....

Bad Goaltending?

Because they are mostly in Black and Gold with B's?

I would rather believe it is the lack of support by the Front Office not wanting to risk losing precious Picks and prospects, or deviating from the 'Future' plan by showing faith in this group that they could make the playoffs with a bit of help..... Instead of rewarding this group with getting further then people believed and being in a position to make the playoffs, they are told the future is more important and that just making the playoffs isn't going to help their development.....

It will be an easy poll going over to the 10 fans still in attendance and ask them who they boo'd

Its Buffalo sabres hockey, just keep lowering your standards as the seasons goes on if you want to be pleased with it.....

At teh start of this game Bostons announcers were actually talking about players being rested for the playoffs.......

Bad Goaltending!

Then its a good thing they won't attempt to make the playoffs until we are ready to be a dynasty and are cup favorites. At this time of year, the best teams & teams in contention for the playoffs also have a confidence boost because their management showed faith by making some moves to improve their teams and get them what they need for a playoff push........

Not really, they never said the Goaltending was bad......

4 Bruins coming in on net, 2 Sabres defencemen back with them and 3 forwards just strolling in from the blue line behind the play........ I have seen soccer players score with less of a 'Kick'......

I'm saying that its been something going on for years. People talk about the amount of opponents jerseys in the crowd but its something season ticket holders consistently do because they can make money off it

TP is too busy posing for his statue Bills fans are building for him at their new stadium...

Why would the Sabres care about 'correcting' that issue? The Pegulas got their money when the season tickets were sold And its been going on for Decades, even when teh Sabres were good that the arena would fill with Leafs fans and some of the other big teams fans because Sabres fans are always looking to recoup the cost of the Season tickets by selling the hot games to opposing teams fans.

Is there anyone who does this anymore?

Atleast 2 of the Bruins goals where from Bruins players who were left wide open on the other side of the net as the defencement were standing around UPL and 3 others skating into the picture from behind as the pucks in the net....

I have said it before, I don't think any player has even been ruined by spending too much time in the minors, but MANY have been ruined by being forced up early. But when your only plan to build is to use the draft and fill the occasional hole with lower level players and reclamation projects, this is what you get

Granato and Adams are in way over their heads, but what else is new around here Atleast they have Picks and Prospects!

He doesn't upset the chemistry! It would be much worse for the development of this team to try and upgrade and get into the playoffs where they can get playoff experience, even if they end up getting blown out.

They aren't there right now, or when the Leafs are in town......
