Not surprising.

Tom Brady?

I'm trying, I really am. But this team is so much like the 14/15 team it's beyond disheartening, it's utterly defeating. I now fully understand ROR's emotions. That's really all I can say.

Sigh...……………….why bother posting it, I've said my peace...……………. I'd like to leave you with this, you believer's of this organization...………………….. "If you believe, your a fool, sorry but you are". I'll sit back and watch from here. PA, count me in for the Pegula bunker, I'm beyond a visitor now, I'm drawing up designs for the 6' thick concrete wall and anti-bunker busting bomb ceiling.

Touche' sorry man, it just...………...well...………….you know...…………..

WHERE IN ***** ARE THE FINISHERS? YOU KNOW TERRY? THE GUYS THAT CAN ACTUALLY PUT THE ***** PUCK BEHIND THE OPPOSING GOALIE IN THE NET!!!!!! I AM SO SORRY ALL, I AM JUST SICK OF THIS GARBAGE...…..AFTER SO MANY YEARS, ENOUGH IS ENOUGH!!!!!

I #$%^ing hate this team right now. I've waited, I've been patient, I gave this management and coaching staff EVERY opportunity...…………..but ultimately, I am beyond unimpressed. ***** YOU PEGULA! If this is the best you can do, let me tell you something, I get MORE JOY out of a 10 minute session with MY CALASED HAND then I do from YOUR ***** hockey team!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I am so ***** tired of this CRAP product put on the ice. ***** you Pegula! You are 100% responsible for this mess as the owner. And as a fan, I have 0, YOU HEAR ME...……………….0 faith you can bring a STANLEY CUP to Buffalo. You SUCK as an owner. Face it, your horrible! Sorry all, but I've just had enough...…………….breaking point has been achieved!

Please! No one is blinded. We all recognize he is a decent 3/4 D man. His mistakes are glaring however. No matter what you personally believe, when he costs momentum, games and in turn, points, it's apparent he isn't a complete package NHL ready. Stop with the "but, but, but he's this or that". He is what he is, a developing d man. He doesn't deserve the slot, Housley agrees. Why? Because like some of us, he doesn't have the blinders on, he's cognizant of the kids short comings.

My Brother, a tad bit older than myself (I'm the youngest at 50) used to get so freaking pissed when he'd click on some link and this appeared. I'm talking he'd do damage if he had the person in front of him. lol Me, I'd just laugh and laugh, because it's happened to me many times as well lol Soooooooo, I take this means the prom queens are out as far as an after dance doggy-style dance, BUT...………..we might get some after market MAKE UP trade so we remain focused on the end of the year exams?

how many dubie's before they posted it? That's important ya know ?

Long over due. All though, I hope there comes a day when we can all just celebrate being human beings day. With that said, actively awaiting scouting list for tonight's game. Hey, I love the tea leaves, what can I say...…..now, if we only had someone here to read them...………..:)

That is awesome. My favorite Sabres.

And deservedly so. Pilut may look good at times, but he's made mistakes that have directly cost this team points in the standings or momentum in a game, neither of which can be remotely construed as good things to have happen. The narrative that Pilut is "the answer" is equally as bad as "Scandella is better than he looks recently". As for the Staff, it isn't the Rochester or scouting staff keeping Pilut out of the line up, it's Phil's coaching staff. The Rochester coaching staff has heavy input to Botterill on development tracks, Botterill himself has stated on several occasions on the conversations Taylor, his staff and himself have, none of which included Phil.

I'm actually surprised we're still close to a playoff spot and it's Feb. 1st. 25 days to make decisions on players staying and going, 7 game home stand within that time frame. While I don't believe Botterill will do nothing, I also don't think any big moves are coming. Turning my attention to the three 1st rdr's I can see those players starting to appear in 2 to 3 yrs from now depending on how well Botterill and staff draft.

Just watched Hunter Killer. Wasn't that impressed. Enjoyable, but nothing to write home about.

Maybe the scouts and coaching staff identified a couple of things they felt he should work on before coming up. I'm going to deduce that is the case. He's 23, I fully expect him up full time next season, maybe on Casey's wing.

Moving D does bring the most logical. I am interested in that targeted D man of yours though. Maybe, hard to say how he would have performed, the NHL moves much faster than the leagues he's played in to date.

I agree. If we move a couple of depth players it'll be for picks or depth players on short deals in return imo. If this team is going to push for a wildcard spot, Jack, Sam, Zemgus, Casey, Rasmusx2 are going to have to step their game up a couple of notches. They have it within them to do it, the question is will they?

Duchene for sure would make one hell of an impact. And obviously Panarin would be a huge impact as well. But wait, there's more...…………...how about Botterill sign Skinner, then trade for both Duchene and Panarin? That would immediately thrust the Sabres in to a playoff contention tizzy. Would it work? Who knows, but it would be a major shift in the power structure of the both the Atlantic Division and the Eastern Conference. Could we afford it? Who knows.

That was definitely boarding on Eichel, but, the refs take a couple from every team I guess, we were next on the list I reckon. Just come home and rip off 7 wins in a row.

Just win the game, OT, shootout, regulation, whatever it takes, just win.

Refs letting a lot of calls slide I see.

Pace picked up.

I would like to see rookie Girgensons come back. He floats a lot I've noticed.
