Looking back, the season was lost before it even began by AdamsÂ
1) should have brought in a vet goalkeeper to pair with either Levi / UPL
2) should have found a replacement for Quinn in the off-season
3) should have filled the spots on the 4th line by signing the best available physical forecheckers available in UFA market. Â Would have been great to get someone who they could rely on to win a faceoff too. Â Hathaway was a UFA that he could have signed as an exampleÂ
4) KO could have been signed as the 13th forward not regularÂ
Adams , like a lot of us, were blinded by last seasons results.  I can openly admit I was wrong about this team  I hope that Adams can admit it as well and make necessary changes today!Â
Agree with your assessment. Nothing wrong about being wrong but it's important to admit when you are. So far I've been wrong as well as they haven't played up to my expectations.

Dan Dumbleavey is to announcing what Dany Heatley is to safe driving.
Seems like he fits the bill for this (dis)organization.

Time to part ways with Samuelsson. He is constantly getting injured
Big concern for sure.

UPL has been solid tonight
Our problem so far this season is not goaltending. It's mostly everything else.

Seriously all we've said about goaltending???? We can't freaking score!!!!

For clarity, there was only one network "driving the country crazy" with their inaccurate "reporting" today. And that was Fox News. The other networks I watched today were doing their job.
Absolutely. They couldn't wait to promote they're narrative and it backfired on them. I don't watch much cable news because all three are not legitimate news channels. The court ruled years ago that they're entertainment programming but they're still allowed to use the news itle.

I feel a little bit like this tonight. It was close to being a near perfect road game. But, they just couldn't get the one last play they needed to seal the win, whether that be a 4th goal, a big defensive play or a save. So much of that does seem to relate to experience. I'm not making excuses. It seems the best we can hope for is that they hang in there until New Year's, don't fall too far behind, get Thompson and Quinn back, maybe sort out who the #1 goalie is by then, and then get on a role in the 2nd half.  😬
Â
I hope they do get on a role. Worried about goaltending over the long haul. Also talent on this team is pretty good overall but they need to mold good talent into a good team. That requires maturity and coaching and with that comes confidence. Not sure if all those ingredients are there yet.

Bills because they're local team. I do watch the NFL regardless if Bills play. Hockey? Sabres as our local team. If we didn't have local hockey team I'd probably not watch much hockey at all. Baseball I'm a Mets fan. Growing up in the Golden years of baseball I still love the sport.

How did KA believe that Levi was ready to handle at least 40-50 games, and then to make it worse, Plan B was UPL & Comrie?
ÂHe should be fired for this alone, but now he will compound the problem, by refusing to give him time in the AHL.Â
Not sure I'm ready to say fire him but he definitely deserves to be scrutinized over the handling of the goaltending needs for this team.

The French Connection. Ah, those were the days. Great to have been a fan then. He was the greatest Sabre of all time in my book. Happy Birthday!!

I disagree. While I believe Levi's floor is higher than 6K's ceiling, he's not there yet. So far this year 6K has been the better goalie. Today, Levi is not our #1, neither is 6K, I believe rotating them right now is the correct thing to do until one of them forces their way into the crease based on their performance.Â
No, you're not.Â
Does "6K" have a real name? Asking for a friend.

Did you read the post? We dont know who Kevyn was on the phone with, what they asked for, what he said no to. You can't just say that Tarasenko or something is the only guy we could have signed. There are whispers that we were in on Hanifin, but he didn't move. Presumably kevyn balked, because that has been his MO. we want him to "lose" the trade to make us better, because that's better than staying bad because he is paralyzed to do ***** anything. He is losing the war to win a battle. I don't have to tell you any move i cant know was possible. I just have to point to the standings, and point out how obvious our unaddressed needs were. God knows we spent all summer talking about them.Â
 The point I'm making is we don't know. Seems you're agreeing. Fans sometimes state things as fact when they don't know it to be fact.

Been down with Covid so turned it on only long enough to see two goals bang,bang. So not feeling well I admit to not watching the game. One thing I will say when we talk about young talent is sometimes you haven't had to be that hard working you got by on your talent but then you get to the NHL and everyone has talent. Also a collection of talent may not be a good team. Do the pieces fit together. That's where the GM and coaches responsibilities come into play.

Moves that got made are not the only moves the Sabres could have made.
With all do respect. Once again you say moves. Not specific at all. Living room GM's.

I wonder sometimes does VO just not care enough? Great shot, little effort?

Your cheapest bet would be Fubo I think. You'll just miss out on TNT games. I'm at $90 right now.
Not sure where $130 is coming from, even if I went with Spectrum I would be paying around $90..for 12 months. Then it's all bets are off mode both with the cable package and with the new "free" Xumo box which is only free for 12 months.
Â
I've stuck with Spectrum Select. That gives me all Sabres games. My total monthly is now up to about $150. $60+/- is for internet. I'm a Mets fan so by sticking with cable I get SNY. Seems can't do much better anywhere else.

I’ll only succumb to this 6k nonsense if we also start calling Jost, hard J. Â
Why don't we just use names? Seems so silly.

Dan D. And Rob Ray blather on about other things while the action is happening far too often.It doesn't really ruin my watching of the game but it's bad for folks listening on radio.
Skinner is receiving a pass in the slot which he fires to try and complete a possible hat trick and they are talking about something else which has zero to do with the action happening live. " Yes Dan, I need to pick up my scripts for dementia when I get home ! "Â
Stuff that should be discussed during dead time.Â
Exactly. Save your freaking chatter for after the game at your watering hole. We went from the best to probably one of the worst broadcasters.

Tides turning...tighten up guys.

Huge goal for them.Â

Please stop these penalties!!!

I think most any notable player would turn down trade to Buffalo if it's up to them. The franchise has only themselves to blame. I've definitely converted to the anti Pegula team. Seen enough. I put all of this on ownership. Fortunately for me I've also come to not really care that much and pretty much stopped watching games at this point.
