GDT: Oilers at Sabres 3-9-2024 12:30 start MSG
thewookie1 replied to spndnchz's topic in The Aud Club
The end of the game was plain ludicrous thankfully we made it not matter standings wise but I do feel bad that Power lost his goal. Next game will pretty much decide the season, a win against Detroit means we can still go 3-0 against them and as such gain 6 points on them. Just to add, Skinner was benched almost entirely after the 2-0 SHG and Peterka was benched halfway through the game -
Chicago was the first to use it when Kane got legitimately hurt and had a timetable set for the last week of the season; so instead they gave him the extra week and used the small cap bonus they got to grab two players. Next came Tampa who used a combo of injuries to manipulate the cap but only enough for a couple depth pieces Vegas has turned it into a farce by LTIRing their captain 3 years in a row among other players in order to acquire more and more outlandish acquisitions

Other teams do have interest in him jame, they literally said he was pursued. He’s overpaid though.

So we tank out the rest of this year??

Just keep fighting to the end -
Is the Sabres biggest issue upfront the lack of an elite forward?
thewookie1 replied to GASabresIUFAN's topic in The Aud Club
I’d still say he’s elite unless you want to say the same about Pasta in Boston. -
Well I sure hope he does because if we need another GM we’ll be waiting for another rebuild or watch a guy like Chirelli continuously embarrass us with trades that are mind numbingly stupid.

I just feel depressed after this; we are effectively trapped between endless mediocrity or even worse or Pegulas sell and we are moved to Houston or the like and I want to die because my favorite team has been literally stolen from me. It feels as if they are completely content with just endlessly playing the development card and not pushing to make the playoffs barring a fluke occurrence akin to last year. People should picket the stadium and wear paper bags on their heads. I like many fans are sick of endlessly waiting for the "right time" I firmly and whole heartedly understand its hard to make moves, it's hard to sign players and build a team; but then at very least show some freaking emotion and anger. Tell the media the year hasn't been good and you are looking at options for making the playoffs next season. Tell the the youngsters play hard or play in Rochester next year and/or during games you'll become well acquainted with the bench. I'm a patient fan that tries to see the good in most things but this press conference just feels like WAKE THE ***** UP!!!!!!

I'm starting to feel like we'll never have success again. We'll never have a good team and if we have any hope of team growth they'll get sold and moved thus ending any purpose of being. It just endlessly sounds like he purely intends to use prospects and pray they find their way to greatness while retaining specific players whom are favored by ownership for any reason.
-
It does honestly feel like we never intend to improve; just pray that youngsters eventually figure things out. He was shopping for a vet Center and will continue in the summer but continuously has added about his faith in the prospects.

Somehow, Olofsson has survived 3 years of being trade bait.
-
Anything about our day being done?
-
Well for some unknown reason the Pegulas love Girgensons like a son.
-
Vegas must be stopped, this is honestly absurd. They'll have a nearly 110 mil cap team this postseason
-
Weekes mentioned it was geography based
-
As I said on Twitter, hopefully that has more to do with the elevation/oxygen deprivation
-
That would honestly be hilarious and fascinating The ultimate battle of culture vs player

Sabres Trade Erik Johnson to Philadelphia for a 2024 4th Round Pick
thewookie1 replied to Brawndo's topic in The Aud Club
We'll always have that one goal he scored the was the GWG against Chicago that was a beauty Vet Defenseman that won a Cup, probably how we sold him to the Flyers -
Sabres Trade Erik Johnson to Philadelphia for a 2024 4th Round Pick
thewookie1 replied to Brawndo's topic in The Aud Club
2024 4th and no salary retention to Philly. Well we have our slots still but it still leans into the belief Pegula hates paying players who aren't playing here -
They did keep it running until now and there never seemed to be a competition for #1
-
He seems very happy and enthusiastic but doesn't seem like a guy who hates to lose. He gives me a lot of Skinner vibes. Headcase isn't the right term but his persona feels like a major problem for winning.

Personality wise, 2 players I wouldn't touch with a 30 ft pole are Zegras and PLD
