    Well on their way to another garbage time improvement, I suppose?

    That does seem to be the trend for the last 10 years.  Is it sad that I would still sign up for that?  ***** being 3 draft slots higher.  Play like you care.  I love the Sabres and so sick of booing them / looking forward to non-game nights knowing they can’t disappoint and piss me off.

    I've decided to go into every game expecting a 9-4 type shellacking. If we get it, oh, well. if they decide to play, then I win twice.

    I just want an entertaining game at this point.  My expectations of playoffs are gone.  Can we just have as little fun watching the team downtown once in awhile?  Just acting like they care will be a huge improvement.

    Man, the fans who get on here and scream for better, who get mad after every loss because they still think we can win- those are my peeps. You can see where this long journey through the desert has taken the most effect when you see posters throwing in the towel 30 games in.

    The expectations for this season can’t change. That would be the worst precedent of all to set. It was about winning. Get as many as you can over the final 50. That can’t change. It must not change: the soul of the franchise depends on it 

    I knew I liked you.  

    Quinn finally back now too. LFG

    What message was sent to the roster in the off-season when Quinn was injured and everyone knew that the organization had lost faith in Olofsson and with rumblings that Tuch's health was precarious and with the league's deepest prospect pool and with 7-8 million in cap space, they opted for a competition in camp between rookies to fill a vacant top 6 position on the team?  In this, seemingly, most critical of seasons, the message I think was clear:  management did not consider this a critical season.  No help is coming.

    Benson the player and person is not the issue:  he is a breath of fresh air.  That he was even an option for this team, in this season, is the issue. Now they are doubling down on their mistake.

     

     

    Yep.  It was an unbelievably frustrating offseason watching GMKA reluctance to do much of anything.  All of these issues looked obvious to most fans yet KA basically sat on his hands.  Frankly, I’m surprised KA isn’t taking more heat right now.  This years failure is more on him than anyone else.

    Skinner had scored 345 times. Maybe Benson already has better defensive awareness but it’s still a lot for him to live up to overall. People acting like Benson is a lock to be better just never learn. 

    Skinner puts up the points for sure.  This team gets killed because of their team defense on most nights.  Benson sure looks to have a much better 200 foot game imo.

    If they did that to me, they’d have to immediately discontinue the pressers indefinitely because everyone of them would be filled with expletives without much coherent thought.  

    To be honest I would like to see this.  I would like to get the sense that they actually do care.  The way he has his team coming out to start hockey games, particularly when they've had such a rough stretch, seriously has me wondering if he does care or what the hell is going on here.

  7. Another infuriating thing I noticed was coming out of the tv timeout in the third period, half a period left and I think Sabres were still down 4-1.  It’s an offensive zone face off and meatballs had the fourth line out for the o zone face off.  It’s as disappointing as it is shocking with his decisions sometimes.  
     

    I go to the arena not entertained more than I am.  I think I’m ready to see if the grass is greener on the other side.
