The team sucks because there is no identity of who they want to be and how they want to play. I don’t remember which coach it was, maybe Granato, made them an offensive team that sucked on defense. That team was fun to watch. Then I suppose the plan for year 2 was to make them more defensive? Which didn’t work or happen, and the team hasn’t seemed to have any plan or identity since that season.

The saying is, go big or go home.

Yes, I am the lean beef

How does it feel to live with a noose and a chair already prepared?

What an a$$. Thats 10 drinks in your system within an hour. On a Thursday at 430pm when people are trying to get home from work, and buses are bringing kids home. AND he had kids in the car. Should be fired on the spot. And I find it hard to believe this was a one off incident and zero people in the organization had any idea there was a problem.

Josh threw for 251 yards in the 4th quarter.

Wow.

Derrick. Henry.

I will return again. Think I came in 1st or 2nd last season. Don’t remember.

I’d rather be 12 than 11. For half the draft you’re gonna be taking players I wanted. Yeah but with 7 and 17 you get more balance. 12 and 13 then a VERY long wait until Round 3 12th pick.

This board certainly does have “elites.” I’ve witnessed it in my 15 years on here.

Can we pick a game that involves palm trees?

After some self-reflection and introspection into this topic, I came to a realization. For the past few years, I’ve blamed my declining interest in the Sabres on their continued poor play for so many consecutive seasons. I realized today, that the timeline of my declining support/fandom coincides with RJ. As a kid, I watched the start of most games on TV with my parents, and fell asleep to his voice on the radio at bedtime. As a teen, I began making a point to watch every single game, even if it was a recording, around 1997. In 2005, I started driving from Rochester to Buffalo for about 20 games a year, and stopped doing that in 2019 when I didn’t see an end in the ineptitude - I felt invested in the team, but didn’t feel it was being reciprocated. During the 22-23 season, after RJ retired, I missed some games for the first time. Then RJ died. In 23-24, I watched maybe half the games. Last season, I only saw a handful of games, and a lot of times I didn’t even know when they were playing. It’s sad. It’s almost a crime to me that RJ never got to hoist the Cup, and that the Sabres had to play such terrible, directionless, passionless hockey in front of him for the final 14 years of his life.

Sorry, I was having problems with the fax machine.

I’m in.
