The ideal Sabres lineup would be for all of them to stay home.

So did the post 12-week rest meeting occur?

This exactly. It is the press and fans saying more. The Sabres followed their best medical advice. We will now see where he is after the medical advice. Are things improving? Worse? Then the medical experts, not th3 fans, will determine the next expert advice. People have to stop making things up.

There is luck in every draft but you have to have a plan. You have to have a clue what you are doing and make that plan work even with draft surprises. No one can argue what they’ve accomplished. The Sabres on the other hand…..

I agree with 99% of what the OP said. I, too, have been a fan since 1970. My father took me to games to see the French Connection, etc., and it was a team you could have pride following. There was a connection with the city and fans. That is all lost and seems nothing like what we experienced back then. I truly believe is has to do with management and leadership. The Bills are successful because they found Beane and McDermott. From there they built a team we can believe in. They brought in players with the right character. Doesn’t everyone feel Josh is a “Buffalo guy”? His work ethic and personality (don’t tell me when he jumped over a linebacker you didn’t jump out of your seat) fit the team and city perfectly. The Pegulas need to find the hockey equivalent of Beane and McDermott. That’s on them 100%. If they do, the posts here will change quickly. Until them, they deserve the criticism they are receiving by fans.

I’m not agreeing with the comment but if you would let it drop it would fade away. You are keeping it alive.

Who picked Allen in the draft? It’s about leadership.

I think you are absolutely right and the Pegulas have decided the Bills are the major sports franchise in Buffalo and the Sabres are a farm club.

How are they doing with the Bills? Look, calling people names you don't even know means nothing. I know you're angry, we all are. I think there's enough blame to throw around on both sides. I never felt Eichel was captain material and maybe they shouldn't have given him that role, but, who else? There's no quick fix. Prepare for continued mediocrity for at least several more years.

Fact. We’re only getting one side and may never know the clinical details. Surgery is not always the answer and can even make matters worse.

Amazing how they play in extremes. I imagine it is part of being a young team.

You’re being too kind.

Saving money.

Anyone who thinks this team is close is drunk. 🤣
