JA is atrocious today.

If we continue to make defensive gaffes they will put 6-7 on us easy.

I agree...but Vegas did it in one year without any superstars. NYI are a juggernaut based on great coaching and depth. Even Philly is on the rise again after several bad seasons. The simple fact is there is no discernible progress after three years. It doesn’t take that long to see progress.

After 3 years at One Bills Drive: We are a win away from a second playoff birth. We have a winning/healthy culture. Salary Cap issues solved. Excellent drafting/trades. We have an excellent coaching staff. We have young talent being developed at virtually every position and have plenty of ammo to add next off season. Lots of quality depth players. We are on the cusp of challenging for the division. After 3 Years at First Niagara Center: Started with a Franchise center (that is like saying JA was already on the Bills roster when McBeane got there). We have not even sniffed a winning season. In fact we were two lotto basement teams. We have a weak/fragile culture. Horrible drafting and embarrassing all time worst trades (esp ROR). We have some of the worst fundamentals I have ever seen in every area on one single hockey team. Salary Cap hell. Ineffective coaching staff (2nd one). We have little to no talent being developed and no depth across the board. We are firing on the trade market with blanks. No chance to challenge anyone or even a hint it is coming. Thank God at least one is on the right road. The other is setting records in ineptitude. Happy 50th!

3 years in and the only progress made is the play of #9. Unacceptable. This year we should see clear progress like over in McBeane world.

Next up: Edmonton, St Louis, Nashville, NYI, Toronto, Philly... not looking good

5 wins. Another disastrous month that will end playoff thoughts by January. We will be full on studying the prospects before February hits.

What is JBot going to do now? We have trash to trade. He had 6 months to fix this in the off season.

There is no moral victory here. This team has won 4 games in a month. That needs to double at minimum. Need to start winning and putting together winning stretches.

Horrible dumb penalty loses us another game

Nice!

Edmonton 7 Sabres 3 I’m calling it early

???????????

You would think! #53 #9 #68 the rest of the game

Okposo should replace Mitts on the PP as well. He is decent there.

Horrible power play, horrible PK, give up the most short handed goals... 100% on coaching. This is a clear indication RK is over his head tactically.

??????????????

I told you!??

Someday we will score a power play goal!

Our power play found a way to cost us again

Risto with a nice shot!

Eichel puts a lay up and no one can convert

happy 50 years! Smh

I’m starting to lean towards “I don’t think RK knows what he’s doing” conclusion. But of course this roster is pretty grim.

I’m sure glad JBot got rid of one of the best two way centers in the game and replaced him 2 years later with a 3rd line winger from another team! Smh!
