Isn't North Buffalo at this game?

Dam can Zemgus drive the net from the face off dots when he wants to. Nicely done for him.

This right here in the bolded. I don't know what fans are expecting this off season, but no serious help is in route without a new standard from the ownership/management/coaching team that includes complete accountability, from top to bottom whereby if you don't perform, your ass is gone, it's that simple. Culture!

I honestly don't think it'll matter what any of them say except Jack. If Jack says openly, in an interview, he's lost his love of the game or he wants out, then and only then will we have hit rock bottom.

I'm sitting here watching a real hockey game with real NHL hockey teams, man, what a difference. It's been so long, so, so long since we've seen good hockey here in Buffalo I'd forgotten what it looks like. What a difference.

I'm just numb to it. And watching McDavid in this one...……..sigh. So close yet so far...……...

Lazar is actually pretty good at these OT face offs

lol, well boys, looks like you get to play some more hockey tonight lol

Or the new case of deodorant just came in today

Hey look, a scorer was brought up from Rochester. This Wilson kid looks promising ? TSN's Lebrun reporting Murray in Anaheim listening on everyone, most likely to wheel and deal in the off season, especially his guys in their mid 20's...……...Rickard Rakell anyone?

Oh look, a thing happened...……...

Come on Risto, just drop'em and start throwing. Show them they can't stand in or around the crease and back it up with some ASS buddy.

2. is a falsehood. we'd get players back or we could sign a Pommer's, Vanek who are sitting on the sideline right now. That is not one of the reasons were not having a fire sale. 1. is valid, to a point, and I suspect additionally it's Botterill who is truly holding it up as he appears to like these guys.

Ladies and Gentlemen, I give you the 2018-2019....errrr…...2019-2020 Buffalo Sabres………….big round of Boooo's everyone now ?

It's still early, I wonder if WGR has Duane on hold...……………….

Grab a blanket and start early, cause I highly doubt a word will be spoken...……. Agreed. It appears the strategy is to ride out the season on the Horse they Rode in on...…………..

The games in Buffalo so...…………..yes?

Promoting the Deadline and Draft early? ?

Not clearing the crease, typical Buffalo. McCabe just standing there...…………….

"Welcome to NHL Tonight folks, where tonights pre-game "a team in focus" story is sure to be watched league wide. Players around the league are on high alert right now, with many of them running scared with the trade deadline nearly 2 weeks away. Fear has gripped those suspicious of being on the trade block, fear of being traded to the Buffalo Sabres, where enough data has now been collected to confirm the existence of the often speculated on Buffalost Virus, a disease which is running a currently unconfirmed 33% hockey player career mortality rate. Currently, the R&D personnel at the now famous Sabrespace Laboratories are continuing to crunch the numbers but have confirmed 32 fatalities to date. I spoke with 2 players this evening prior to the game Pierre, they are in full panic mode as they were both found hiding in the showers in the fetal positions in attempts to avoid contact with their GM's. This is an ongoing NHLPA emergency and we'll keep ya posted. Back to the rink." ?

Agreed, Skinner should be winding back up chemistry wise with Jack. The team is paying for a 9 million dollar 1st line LW'er, not a 9 million dollar bottom 6 LW'er. This is just beyond ridiculous now imo.

Disgusting. Even against Detroit, while at home, to give the fans some excitement RFK still refuses to play Skinner with Eichel for a full game. Just unacceptable.

I've been speaking on it for sometime now. The Culture, I mean, I realize the players aren't the greatest, but there is enough talent on the roster to be doing a bit better than they have points wise, but the game play...…………..yikes, they are hockey players that look more like the keystone cops, that has to be Culture. What in the blue-bonnet holy hell is going on in that locker room for accountability only now to be rearing it's head publicly? Especially given last years downward spiral, I'd have thought this past December someone, anyone, Eichel as captain,, Okposo or maybe even one of Sheary or Girgenson's would have spoken up and said hey, WTF are you all doing out there? We look like a 3 legged dog trying to hump a beach ball, let's get it together...…...ya know.

So what mode is the team actually in right now, sell or buy and try and catch up? Where do fans think Botterill's mind is right now?
