again it really wasnt the Ds fault. Cant count the number of brutal sacks..
They were better in the 2nd half but they gave up 20 in the first half
McDermott and staff were able to make corrections at half, just like they did last week. BUT when are they going to have a game plan that can stop the run right from the opening whistle? Why does it always seem to take a half to figure out what their opponent is doing?

Allen is crossing the 30 barrier and we wasted his youth with mediocre coaching and a GM that can’t draft. This team is the NYJ without Allen.
And as Sabres fans we know it is never going to change. Beane and McDermott will be here through Allen's entire career and then some
when does Pegula become as vilified by Bills fans as he is by Sabres fans ?

Seriously, who is fired first Ruff / Adams combo or Beane / McDermott?

The coach is broken. Isn't he supposed to be a defensive guru?

Why are you trading for defense prospects? You know how many defense prospects we have? I can't imagine a worse scenario than taking a top 6 forward and trading him for ANOTHER defense prospect. No.
I want them to trade for a guy who could come in and play now, or at least really close.
that knocks Bryson off your game day roster and then you will have the chance to trade Power in the offseason in a real hockey trade for a top 6 -
tonight it was obvious that something has to give with the Tuch situation!
you simply cannot have a guy wearing an A out on the ice playing like it's Sunday afternoon game of shinny.
Here are the teams I’m contacting and seeing if they have any interest in Tuch
1. New Jersey Devils
With Hughes out long-term, they could use another forward. Would they consider moving Anton Silayev? Probably not — Casey feels like the more realistic target.
2. Montreal Canadiens
Reinbacher is their top RHD prospect and likely too rich for them to move, but maybe they’d consider dealing their top LHD prospect, Engström.
3. Vancouver Canucks
Their best prospect, Willander, is almost certainly untouchable. But Kudryavtsev might be available — a shutdown type who already has some NHL games under his belt.
4. Utah Mammoth
They’ve got both Simashev and Lamoureux — massive defenders who are either in the NHL (Simashev) or close to it (Lamoureux). Maybe they’d view Tuch as the kind of piece that could help push them into the playoffs.
With Tuch being the top prize in this year’s UFA market, hopefully the Sabres can capitalize and land a better prospect than you’d normally expect for a player on an expiring deal.

Looks disinterested
He's sulking cause he can't get $11 million a year for 8 years.

Tage's comments about taking the Flames lightly is a real indictment of Ruff and Dahlin.
At least Dahlin showed up
can't say that for the entire leadership group.

Dahlin looked fine for the most part, if anything he seemed to start trying to lug the puck to much due to passing issues.
Thompson was hit or miss most of the game. Good shifts, bad shifts; effort was there but he was constantly getting hooked and held by Kadri and never once got a power play from it.
The 4th line looked motivated but Dunne is effectively a liability in any shooting or passing situation.
Muel looked solidTrying to think if anyone else looked ok; Ellis the goalie wasn’t bad. The back up sat on the bench well.
The No Goal on Dahlin was a joke and seemed to scare Thompson from going net front the rest of the game. Not that I blame him honestly.
The bad:
Pretty much everything else including the Powerplay being limp
Power, I have zero clue what to do with him. He puts up solid analytics most nights and looked great for the short time he had Kesselring but his net front defense is less effective than if you put a literal pylon out front.
Byram, what happened to you tonight?
Quinn is a glass blunderbus with a scope. He’s either making them or himself look bad, problem being it tends to be the latter
I’d love to know why this team takes anyone lightly? Why would these players ever think they have any right to believe they are far superior to their opponent? Treat every ***** team like you did the Oilers and Panthers; that is what they all should look like to you!
Now do Tuch? One of their Assistant captains

This is how the Sabres slowly kill their fans little by little. Every year we get that tiny glimmer of hope where they look like they might be becoming something and then they deliver an absolute turd of a game like this one.
The most winnable game on the schedule. Bottom feeder team tired on a long road trip should be easy pickings but Sabres have no fight, lose every puck battle, play shoddy D as usual and even quit on home ice with 20 seconds remaining. Disgusting effort all around. Usual suspects all garbage. Timmons really turning into garbage now too. There is absolutely nothing positive you can say about this game. Just pure absolute trash.
Games like this (and we get them every year and more than once) make me hate this team and want EVERYBODY fired and EVERYBODY gone.
Yep, this has been the story for about nine years now. They string together a few good games, creep back into the playoff race, and then a team they should beat comes into town for a mid-week game—and the Sabres completely lay an egg.

I'm at the point where you just sit Tuch until you find a trade for him
this team can not have guys who wear Letters to be passengers and that's where we are with Tuch
he obviously isn't happy the Sabres won't give him $11m * 8 years
Get a good young dman prospect and let's get on with it.

Is there anyone out there that Tuch is a $10 million plus player?
the contract is obviously effecting his play
sign him or trade him, don't let this drag out.

There is no excuse for this loss and the loss against the Blues
but it's been a staple of Sabres hockey for years

Tuch had the best seat in the house on that one
seems extremely disinterested.
down by 1 in the 3rd and you give that effort???staple his ass to the bench

If you can trade him for a good young dman, I think you do it
that then allows you to trade Power (who would have more worth than Tuch) for a top 6 forward.
you can't add Krebs and / or UPL to either deal as a sweetener

sniper
last season I wanted Samuelsson gone more than anyone.
Seems I was wrong about himHopefully there will be a day when all Power haters are wrong too

We can hate it as much as we want but unfortunately it was the right call

Nice Job Dunne. Completely blow a 3 on 1 and then take a penalty in the offensive zone on same shift !

That didn't prevent him from making the save.
Prevented him from coming out, Tage skated into the blue paint.
Hope I'm wrong

Like I said , no timeout. Let them work through it

Krebs and Malenstyn don't offer anything that can't be supplied by Kozak and Greenway. If I'm in charge, I'm chopping Malenstyn first, Krebs 2nd.
Am I the only one who disagrees 1000% with this take? Are we looking at stats or actually watching the games?
Malenstyn is exactly the kind of fourth-liner we’ve been begging for: blocks shots, kills penalties, plays with energy, hits, and can skate.
He’s a lock on my roster, no question.

Anybody fired after the Calgary debacle? Why not?

He is just going to let their contracts run out. No one is getting fired.
