    Leave my unicorn out of it! Man I like the Bills and Sabres. Get pumped up every year to get get in the crotch. It what us die hard fans do. Do not look for an argument on my stance. Buffalo sells hope and I get in line. What section is Sasquatch sit?

    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.

    Doesn't work: this team played well until the GTG against Washington.  Many players need to learn playoff-level mental toughness.

    And how do you do that when you never make it to the playoffs?

    I haven't followed this thread and it's understandable about the negative sentiment, but you gotta love the passion from Cozens.

    This year is likely shot, but we've got the core of a good team and the worst is definitely behind us.

    ....Said pretty much every year for the last 10+ years

    The ONLY thing that matters is getting to the PLAYOFFS

    Your rebuilding till you do

    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...

    Wow, did losing to Washington take the starch out of this team.  They stopped believing.

    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.....

    Reality check here. We know this team is the youngest team in the league and shows its inexperience and inconsistency on many nights. It's been an exciting team this year -- until playoff hockey started. On a yearly basis, this is the time of year when the best teams tighten up, batten down the hatches and don't play pond hockey anymore. A good comparison last year was the type of year Quinn was having with the Amerks, but when the playoffs started, he was just shut down. Lots of our guys can't tolerate playoff hockey. We're just too weak and inexperienced and don't have the goaltending, defense or coaching to compete with this different and non-forgiving brand of hockey.

    This collapse at the end, especially with the tougher back-loaded schedule, was all too predictable.

    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........

    That’s entirely on the Sabres to correct. We’ve been season ticket holders for decades and while we give the tickets to relatives and friends rather than sell them, I resolved not to attend another game in person when they lost 3-0 to Philly at home back in January. And I won’t until I’m convinced they have re-earned my in person patronage. They are one of the worst home teams in the league. And that’s just not our fault as fans.

    I can’t blame my fellow ticket holders for selling them and recouping some of the cost. I see many Boston fans sitting in seats surrounding ours where normally people we’ve known for years would be sitting. When the Sabres are back, the fans will be as well. In the meantime, letter from Dahlin just aren’t gonna cut it.
     

     

    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.

    Swayman has been great and has anticipated well. That last try by Mittelstadt was a great example. Swayman knew Casey was there and was already sliding over as soon as the shot came from the point.  He also has Sabres players shoot the puck at his chest. (Cozens.)

    But Swayman also benefits from the 5 guys in front of him doing their jobs: not giving the Sabres room to make plays. On the other hand, the Sabres chase the puck and leave players open. Bing-bang-boom.

    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....

    This is on Granto and maybe more Adams. You can't use NHL to develop your Prospects and NOT have this happen to you when teams are honing for the Playoffs.

    Peterka, UPL not ready. UPL wasn't even playing well in Rochester.

    Starting to question Adams approach, STINKS right this moment

    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
