***** you Phil! Your the coach, if you can't change the way these guys play, then TALK TO YOUR BOSS to change the players THAT WILL LISTEN!!!!!!

I ignored nothing. The roster is equally as awful this year.

I don't put the over all record on the absence of Ryan. After all, there is solid data to indicate his presence DID NOT improve team position points standing wise. I mean, come on, they came in last place last season. But, with that said, my posts and overall point is that there is a larger problem than just the roster in Buffalo. My first guess, given the GM's short tenure here and he has no real ability to effect the roster emotion, is the coaching staff. Housley has to go in my opinion. It's just my opinion mind you, but lesser teams talent wise are doing more with less. Housley and his staff appear to be outmatched a majority of the his tenure here. It's time, the playoffs are at stake. Fire him today I say, and bring in Q or another that can change what is going on. Players have to be beyond frustrated.

Jack: "The learning experiences are far over now" No ***** Jack!!!! Show up!!!!!

Oh wonderful, so what your saying is that Pegula found his long lost son and they are willing to wait 15 years for that "CUPS" run? I think I just threw up in my mouth...………...a lot...……………..

I have to admit, it looks like the players left after the ROR trade are lost. I also have to point out, with ROR, the team was horrible as well, and while I way both the scenario's, will you concede we don't know if ROR would have changed this seasons events? Because honestly, I don't think he would have. But I do now agree with you to an extent, admittedly with emotions involved, that maybe ROR wasn't so much incorrect but also wasn't a solution for a larger problem residing here in Buffalo?

As much as it pains me to say this Jame, I am starting to believe you may be correct on this. Jack is no on ice culture changer to be sure.

what's the scouting report for scouts tonight? Is Sobotka being showcased or something? and Kane schools Dahlin...………...Kane with 4 points tonight......but NO, he shouldn't be a sabres, EVER ?

I sooooooo wish!!!! Thank you MakeSabresGrr8Again! That made my beer taste good in my nostrils lol

I'm not crawling out of the Pegula bunker, I'm still heavily pissed, but if they win this game, they are on a game by game basis with me. Win, I'm interested, lose, I am partial to the Avalanche, I lived out in Salida for several years.

Of course, make Cam Ward look like AN ALL STAR, by NOT FINISHING!!!! SMH

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.
