GDT / Winnipeg Jets @ Buffalo Sabres Sun. 3/3/24( MSG/ WGR Radio
Billznut replied to Shoot da Puck's topic in The Aud Club
Terrible to give up the late goal after a pretty good period. But it is what it is with these guys. Usually it’s an early goal that kills them. At least they didn’t do that. -
If all these crybaby players are having this hard of a time with some boos can you imagine how they will feel if we actually had a hard ass coach in here like Torts, maybe even Gallant. I doubt we will ever get a top notch coach in here that would actually coach these guys hard, but boy it would be entertaining and comforting knowing these players wouldn’t be getting coddled behind the scenes anymore.

Sabres’ Refusal to “Salute” Fans Confirmed
Billznut replied to That Aud Smell's topic in The Aud Club
Just another embarrassing loss today to a team you absolutely can not lose to. This team deserves EVERY bit of derision directed their way. I was glad to hear some booing at the end of this pathetic game. I’m still amazed people actually spend their hard earned money and devote 3-4 hours to attend these games in person. Watching on tv, no big deal. But you couldn’t pay me enough to actually attend a Sabres game anymore. Gave that crap up four years ago and haven’t had one second thought about the decision since. -
Thompson hasn’t been the same player since the midway point of last year. Just look at the stats. It’s night and day. He got injured last year and also teams figured out a better way to neutralize him. He has not been overly effective for well over a calendar year now. I highly doubt we will ever see the Tage from October 2022- January 2023 again. Maybe for small streaks here and there, but his league domination is gone.

Sabres’ Refusal to “Salute” Fans Confirmed
Billznut replied to That Aud Smell's topic in The Aud Club
All I know is this latest idiotness from this losing franchise has made it soooo much easier to tune them out and care even less than I already did during this 13th wasted season. I can’t wait for Okposo to be gone and hopefully about half this current roster. If ever a roster and quite frankly an entire organization needed blowing up, THIS one most certainly does. Of course it’s not the owners fault, or the GM’s fault or the coaching staff’s fault or the players fault. It’s the fans fault for this pathetic effort this year. And remarkably there are posters here who actually believe it IS the fans who are in the wrong here. Unfreakingbelievable. -

Sam absolutely stood in front of the net and took punishment consistently wayyyyy more than Tuch has ever done. The vast majority of Reinhart’s goals in Buffalo were of the “garbage” variety. He’s still scoring that way in Florida too. -

I’ll be thrilled when Skinner and his asinine contract are off the books here. The sooner the better. -
I believe the Kings have lost 11 of their past 14, something like that. But had just won their last game the other night. Sitting in a playoff spot at the moment but still make the move. It’s always amazing how other franchises are at a completely different level of expectation than Buffalo. Losing isn’t accepted in alot of places. It’s so common, plentiful and accepted by the Sabres.

Power doesn’t have a nasty streak in him at all. I don’t know if that will ever change since that’s a personality issue. In comparison, Tyler Myers was very soft at the beginning. He has gotten a little more nastiness in him as the years have gone by, but even now he’s still pretty soft. -

Agreed not with this current coaching staff or GM. And if you fire both Granato and Adams, you always have the chance that the new regime doesn’t like a lot of these current players (who could blame them) and they blow up the roster which could result in another season or two delay. Honestly we could easily be anywhere from 2-3 years away. -

I definitely don’t blame fans who thought this year would maybe finally be our breakthrough year after last seasons results. But I still blame KA for not doing enough to upgrade the team in the offseason and being satisfied way too easily. I was uneasy back in July when it was apparent we weren’t adding anyone meaningful to the roster. I started dreading this exact season coming. Where the next step wasn’t taken and it shouldn’t have been assumed by Adams that it would. He had the cap space and assets to do whatever he wanted. He chose to basically stand pat and count on progression of the youngsters. -

Yeah I mean that’s been the problem the last couple times around. That’s how we ended up with Ralph and then Granato. No real coaches were interested in coming here. I have no doubt Pegula would really have to offer a huge salary and apparently even that wasn’t enough in the past to get Babcock years ago. -

I’m hoping an 0-3 west coast trip would be the final nail in Granato’s coffin, wishful thinking I know. But if they were to lose all three and then have 9-10 days off before their next game, there will never be a more perfect time to make a coaching change. Just food for thought. Although I’m sure even going 0-3 on this trip won’t result in any changes. But maybe now Pegula will have more time to pay attention to his lesser toy and actually get embarrassed enough to call for a change. -

I would really really love to see the arena empty on Monday. Between the storm recovery and the Bills game at 4:30, there is a perfect chance for Sabres fans to embarrass Pegula and legitimately refuse to show up for Monday’s game. I’d give anything to see it. But I know there are still too many Sabres fans that are gluttons for punishment and keep going to these games. Pegula won’t change anything until he is embarrassed enough to where he feels he must make a change. Please stop going to these games.
