And Genny Light......screamers

Big body, net front presence attempt?

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? 🤣

Shhhhh.... Ancient internet filter secret 😉

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.

Why, he taint wrong.

Oh I don't know, I'd lick it before I'd stick it

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!!!!!!

We may not make it to January.

People blaming the power play, poor D play, bad shootout goaltending, terrible puck luck on the finish, just remember, this was all brought to you by Terry Pegula. Under Pegulas ownership, this organization, a once proud brand, has been completely destroyed. Expect this to continue, no seriously, resign yourselves to the fact that none of this is going to change anytime soon. I'm rooting for LA lately, but I also like the Avs.

It's funny, because yes, I did read it in his voice 🤣

Another goalie terrible at the shootout. The playoffs are nothing but wishful thinking this season. This team isn't going anywhere, they've regressed and their is no help coming. Maybe Adams makes a move next off season, who knows really. Powerplay is hopeless, looks like the players only completely show up in the 3rd. Not much more to say except this organization has serious holes all over the place. Ownership, Management, coaching, roster, I don't see the playoffs next seadon either to be honest. So much damage done to a once proud brand.

Wayyyyyy to much passing. Shoot da Puck!!!!!!

That hit the side of the net 🤣

Your hanging a tuff in the front, I won't lie and say a comeback win is possible, just play those front 3 like they have no tomorrow, because they probably don't 🤣

Why would you do that? They probably look better on meds 🤣

Well, technically, Adams didn't lie. He said the playoffs were the goal this season. Then you have Granato saying last season they learned offense, this season they would learn defense. So.....Adams did lie, Granato wouldn't know what defense is if someone painted a giant D on his fence at the house, the players in the meantime look like a midget league team most nights, key bank arena is filled with opposition fans most nights because Sabre Nation is actually shrinking in numbers and those left just don't care, which is a mirror reflection of the product on the ice. We need to sacrifice a live chicken, at center ice before opening faceoff, some candlesticks and sage burning and the entire roster needs to wear garders during the games, to keep their shooting eye balanced. Did i miss anything?

And........here comes the tidal wave.

Way to much passing.

We have to be the worst power play team in the league, no? I mean, I doubt this power play could score in the AHL and I think it would rank in the bottom half of any of the CHL leagues.

Has anyone figured out the riddle on why they have not addressed the power play yet?

Power play still sucks
