Forecheck

Couldn’t agree more. But I think Pegula is super gun shy now to fire people so quickly. That has become his reputation around the league and was told that by McClellan during his interview process. Botts definitely won’t be fired during the season and I bet Pegula won’t do it after the season either. They will somehow find a way to give him at least one more year. Which is just another year wasted.

After Botts screwed the pooch on the O’Reilly trade, GMs all over the NHL think they can do it to him again. He’s not being offered anything fair. Not defending him. I want him gone. But he created the mess he is in. He won’t be able to get out of it.

Lol that is definitely strange reasoning. I feel the opposite

Commence the Sabres inevitable collapse

The Bruins are the varsity, we are JV

Hope we get a good goalie someday. In addition to the other dozen things this team needs

And just like that. Game over. Lol

Are you surprised? Nothing happened

Sabres are giveaway machines.

Botterill would have to be woken up first

Who could blame him though?

Exactly. And this is how it will be going forward because we have no other players that can consistently contribute at an elite level. We will live and die with Eichel.

Hate the OT and shootouts. Also Buffalo isn’t good in them. Much rather go back to the old days and just have a tie.

Yep me too, sitting with my dad in the blues. One of the best and most memorable Sabres games ever. Everyone felt like we had a great shot at winning the cup after that game 3 win.

I’d say it looked like men against boys to me. It’s nothing new.

Sabres are so weak and pathetic in their own end. They all need to hit the weight room. Embarrassing.

That’s why the Sabres used to win every year. Talent. The 70s were amazing. 80s were decent. Haven’t had nearly enough of it the past 7-8 seasons.

Working less and less this season. Wouldn’t be surprised if it’s the last one. And even worse having to listen to idiotic Dunleavy who still has no clue how to do play by play.

Good riddance

Every one of these “special” nights has seemed rushed and hurriedly put together. Which is a shame because they’ve had months to plan how to make this season and these presentations something to remember. At least no alumni almost fell on the ice tonight. Progress I guess.

Well Hutton tried to lose at the end of regulation. He made sure he did it OT. Terrible goal

I can’t think of anything more boring to watch than this team attempt to show their “skill”. Other than Eichel, not a single one of them can hit the broad side of a barn with their shots. I know this “showcase” is more for the kids to see their “heroes”. For an adult I can’t imagine anything worse.

Exactly. It was one thing 4-5 years ago being at the bottom of the standings when we had lots of draft picks and tons of cap space. Remember when a lot of people actually worried how Murray would even get to the cap floor? Lol. Now what is the Sabres excuse for another bottom of standings season? No picks stockpiled. No available cap room. Things are even WORSE than they were 5 years ago. Let that seep into everyone’s heads for a minute.

Sabres have lost 12 of their last 15. Wake up Pegula. Your joke of a franchise is utterly lost. IF you care at all. We don’t need a minor little trade. This team needs a major overhauling. And it’s far more mental than anything. Please get a proven winner to be in charge of hockey operations.

Any other team with this kind of constant losing for weeks, people get fired. Not this franchise. And that’s why they’ve been at the bottom for years now.
