Agreed, officials aren't there to help the players, that's the coaching staffs job. They are there to enforce the rules set in place for the games. Officials officiate, coaches coach, players play. Simple.

I never claimed we are a Utopian Sports Hegamony. But we are all family, Bills, Sabres, Bandits and the rest. Hadn't you noticed, every season around late November, our family gatherings are a made for HBO 12 going on 13 part series? 🤣

No, I can't. I am who I am. Bitter at times, joyous at other times. That's neither here nor there though. When it comes to professional sports Fandom in Buffalo, I listen to those who are glass half full, AND, glass half empty. Because they all for the most part bring validity to various views on our beloved sports organizations. L one thing I don't do, is tell either they are a tiresome burden by complaining about them. Because in the end, they are my brothers and sisters, and through our common bond of devotion to our sports teams, I love them all.

We're Buffalo sports fans, we've more than earned that right to b I t c h and complain. In case your not aware, and I find it hard to believe you aren't, we've been s h I t on for half a century now. So instead of whining about the whining, why not just accept the reality of the fan base and move along.

Posted this elsewhere, but, even for myself, an over-reactionist, needs to renemeber..... Adams said the goal was to make the playoffs, but it wasn't the main goal. Sabres fans, and NHL fans in general, need to realize a few factual realities. When Adams took over, it's been rumored Pegula has a reputation for firing people quickly. This has been mentioned more than several times across multiple hockey media outlets, hell, NHL networks Weekes mentioned it 2 yrs ago. Local coverage, has mentioned it as well. Changing that perception means Adams and Granato, who have extensions, are staying at least through those extensions. It's also one of the reasons why no experienced GM or coach choose Buffalo, even with the youth talent over flowing on hand. 2nd, the youth. The team is devoid of veteran leadership, this isn't merely a choice by the organization. No vets of any real leadership quality want to sign here because they've witnessed what's happened in the past. The ROR situation, Eichel, rebuilding a rebuild and the extremely young age of the players. If it's going to be corrected, it's going to have to start within it's own existing ranks. And finally, it's the players caliber of play on the ice itself. Oh sure, Sabres can score a lot, like 3rd highest scoring team a lot last season, but without matured players, whose bodies have filled out physically, who use the physical game,l on defense, who have a goaltender that can show consistency, what you see game in and game out is what your going to get. Pegula, Adams, Granato, the players, what they need is time. Time to fill out physically, time to build true 200' chemistry, time to develop a goalie tandem internally, and lastly, time to show players around the league they are successful at it. Playoffs? While Adams may have said that is the goal, there are much larger issues with this organization where other goals supercede the playoffs, many of them by past self inflicted wounds. Sell the team? Not happening, Pegula has already said, the team will go to his eldest daughter, a Western New York and Sabres fan. This will eventually pass, but yes, the damage to the brand will take "TIME" to heal. Sabres fans, and hockey fans in general, should at the very least, take the totality of the overall larger picture into consideration when forming opinions on the the Sabres. At least, I would hope they do. Edit: oh, and while I may be now following 1 or 2 Western Conference Teams playoff bound to give me something to cheer for while our beloved Sabres trek this uphill battle, it should never be mistaken, I am blue and gold first and foremost. I have been, do now, and even in to eternal life, be a Sabres faithful. GO SABRES!!!!!!
