The PP has looked a lot better with skill guys like Rosen and Östlund replacing more of the power forward types like Doan and Tuch guys are actually moving and causing the PKers to work

Also isn't playing Bryson going against his greatest strength. I thought they signed him cause he had such a positive attitude being in the press box?

The issue isn't that one of the six dmen are hurt. I'd imagine most teams are down 1 dman this time of the season. The issue is the 7th guy is Bryson. You'd think a GM who is in the final year of his job would be a little more desperate to make an upgrade

This is what a real franchise looks like. Still want everyone from the Eichel disaster shown the door, but at least there’s finally a hint they’ve learned something. I would love to know if Ruff, Adams and TP were all on the same page in letting him go? This makes sense

I’m with you. At full strength, the team looked okay—which is an improvement. But injuries aside, 1 win in the last 10 shows it’s time to move on. Holding onto a long-term GM hoping things will click is like keeping an ex’s number—you know they weren’t great to begin with, but you convince yourself they could be okay if things were different. Most of the time, you’re better off cutting ties and moving forward.

Why? It's Sabres pace not Buffalo Sabres space ?? So Atlanta Sabres , really nothing changes I prefer they go to KC and come back as the scouts. Maybe the best uniform the NHL has ever had ? Of course , this board would have to be amended ?

It’s not just time to fire Adams — it’s long past time. And the truth is, TP shouldn’t just hand the keys to the next GM… he needs to hand over the entire damn car. Write the cheques, step aside, and stay out of the way. Unfortunately, I don’t see TP allowing that to happen

100% agree Not once have I heard that

I think this is just where we are in the cycle. It’s like being a Bills fan. During the 18-year drought, all we wanted was playoff football. When it finally happened, it felt amazing. But fast-forward to 2025, and now the expectation is the Super Bowl. Once you’ve had a taste of it, anything less feels like a disappointment. It’s the same for Leafs fans—simply making the playoffs isn’t enough anymore. They need playoff wins. Eventually, hopefully, we’ll reach a point where the only thing that really matters is winning the Cup.

But if they are a .500 team at full strength is that good enough? But no Stanley cups At the end of the day, that's what's it's really about

Like so many games this season, if this were just a one-off, you could live with it. most nights I think the effort is there and they look like a competent NHL team. BUT these loses aren’t isolated . They’re happening every night. Yes injuries have played a huge role but still something has to give If this was any other NHL franchise , you'd say "it's just not our year". BUT this isn't any other franchise, it's a circus of a franchise and it's time to get rid of the lead clown and Fire KA

UPL's biggest issue is he can be pretty good most of the game but then he gives up a stinker. They just aren't good enough to overcome it.

Hey that was still pretty good. Didn't score but you see guys with actual offensive imagination out there.

For those paying more attention Was Lyon pulled for his play or as a tactic by Ruff?

Awesome! Thanks for posting Definitely my childhood hero and a big reason I'm a Sabres fan

I thought so too

Just scrolled through the 1st. Sometimes I think if they didn't keep score the Sabres wouldn't be half bad really like the PP. guys were actually moving. Yes it was only for a minute but Östlund , Quinn and Rosen had it looking better than any other time since Bensons been hurt

if he's like Keller , he'd still be our best forward. I'm hoping he comes more of a bonafide top pick as he gets more accustomed to playing in NCAA vs CHL Where did anyone say "tank"? Not one person.

I've been saying that for years. he has a role and is a good player but there are lots of warts too

You would get good odds on FanDuel

Fire Adams and let JK make the decisions Ruff will know he is gone after this season but I trust him to give an Honest assessment of the players. let them figure out who is worth keeping. maybe there is a coach out there that helps improves Power. Remember the mess Dahlin was prior to DG? though my guess he isn't a JK guy. He did say it's easier to tame a tiger than to paint stripes on a mouse"

I'll watch football and look at the score on my phone from time to time. I expect them to be down by 4 in the first period.

Just made me think....Terry sells the team and they move to KC and wear those awesome Jerseys of Scouts. Who remains a fan? Honestly it's sad that having Terry sell the team and it moving , may be our only hope in seeing it ever turn around

Honestly, who's planning to watch tomorrow night?

That's why we need to come in last. guarantee we get one of the top 3 guys. hopefully this draft is worth coming in last for, unlike 2021
