In 1997: -Gas was $1.30 a gallon -Todd Collins was the Bills' starting QB -Clinton was our President -"Un-break my heart" by Toni Braxton was the top song on the radio. -I was 3 years old. Anyone got anything else?

I agree with what Miller is saying, especially since the players have given up on him just as much; however I don't love how openly apprehensive about the current situation. We all are Ryan, just keep it suppressed a little more and hang in there just like everyone else.

Darcy sounds disgusted by the players, and rightly so. They gutted Lindy this season by totally giving up on him.

Well done :clapping:

They played unbelievably bad in the first and last two minutes of the game. Which sucks because in the other 46 minutes they played well enough to win.

Unbelievably frustrating.

It was like Boston had a 60 minute powerplay.

Well that was a waste of our time.

Well that was a chippy call at the end. Liked the period though. We were out-possessed but we definitely had equal amount of quality chances. Kaleta absolutely bullied Campbell.

I hope Thornton plays so he can get his a** beaten again. Thoughts on McCormick over Grigs? Is it just because it's the Bruins we're playing?

I would say Crosby but being that he can't stay healthy (understandably) I have to pass. I can't decide between Malkin or Stamkos. If Stamkos had a little more postseason success I'd take him but Malkin has been around and won more so I'd probably take Malkin.

Hey, we won last night. none of this until we lose again!

I'll be sold on their "not quiting" if they go out and blow up the Islanders on saturday. Nassau has always a house of horrors for them.

No, what would the players have to gain other than pressure from the media and the front office?

I'll be that overanalyzing guy here: did that save the season? ...you know what never mind. Pretty sweet though.

For me, when they suck I allow myself to miss weekend night games. Other than that I have no excuse.

I'll be honest, when it comes to coaching i don't know a much about hockey as I do about football being that I actually played. But it seems to me hockey has less to do about schematically beating your opponent as it does having your players trust in your system and as of right now it seems like that's the last thing the Sabres have going on. So who cares who we replace Ruff with for the time being, let's fire him now and promote someone who might be able to pull that off, at least until the end of the year.

Ruff: "we need better goaltending". Sir, while you may be correct, the truth is we need better coaching.

Where do we start other than the coaching? There's s many things wrong with this team that it has to be the system they're playing in. just for once I'd love to hear Pegula make an educated, impassioned comment on the state of the team. Nothing about building statues or crap like that, something actually pertaining to the quality of play.

"Starting today, the Buffalo Sabres reason for existence is to be tethered to two out-of-touch sad sacks from the late nineties and hope that pays off."

Not trying to be the "I told you so" kind of guy but I knew letting Gaustad go would mean trouble for us. Given I wouldnt have turned down the Predators offer for him, but I at least saw the tremendous value of that guy.

God this is frustrating. It's the same with both our teams: slight optimism met with bitter disappointment.

Correct me if I'm wrong: we're one for our last 8 games?

ANNNND game over because we can't win faceoffs. nice.

that was our shot
