Panic? Give us a break. After 12 years we finally have a shot at the playoffs and you are ok to sit on your hands and wait another year? Trades were available out there to upgrade the roster and still not affect the long term cap. You believe the cr@p they are feeding you, that’s great. We have 14 forwards on this roster and 11 of them play the exact same game. Until Stillman, we had 7 defenseman on the roster (with Dahlin hurt) and nothing in Rochester. Name a playoff team carrying 7 defenseman? We have 3 goalies on the roster and none are a true NHL #1. Glad we didn’t waste any money on trades! Schenn is an $850k cap hit and he cost a 3rd round draft pick. He is rugged, solid, and has 2 Cups. Tell me how that hurts this team? Did you enjoy watching Joker get worked over and struggle to play extra minutes while Dahlin is out. Did you see him the last two games against big teams? How about that PK starring Lubyshkin? They cannot stop anything. The Sabres are above signing rentals I guess, they would not want to hurt the locker room or something like that. This is all about not spending Pegula money. That’s right, next year will be better. Sure. Great players will flock here. Oh Portillo. He is apparently too “intelligent” to sign with the Sabres, a team without a clear #1. Let’s see if Johnson and Levi sign soon. We can celebrate that, even though it’s commonplace for other teams to sign their picks. Don’t confuse fans being fed up with losing with panic. The Sabres front office has shown incredible patience, shall I confuse that patience as a refusal to compete? They appear paralyzed, but they call that sticking to a plan. So we will wait and play out the string, and hope that Dahlin and Tuch get back soon, and pray for goaltending, and watch them “be competitive in March”. Our new major milestone - still in it in March!!!! Be happy fan base, we are “in it in March”. That’s an accomplishment we can all rally around. So we will wait until the draft, and free agency, like good soldiers. We won’t panic or question a thing. We will wait and watch Adams finish this roster, complete with 23 players that actually deserve to be in the NHL. Because next year will be better. Next year, or maybe the year after …

New 6 when Dahlin gets back.

Cannot judge him on one game. Two things I saw are: he doesn’t back don’t from physical contact, and he does not skate all that well.

Hey All, I just got promoted to All Star at SabreSpace. Keep those cards and letters coming.

No. I wasn’t. We never had real control of the puck. The stats speak for themselves. We are a terrible team playing in front of an empty net. So do it sparingly.

This month is a gauntlet. No Tuch, Dahlin hurt, no reinforcements in trades, no #1 goalie on the team.

Schenn, Chyckrun, Orlov, McCabe, Ekholm? No thanks.

I prefer being in the playoff race and learning these lessons now. Tonight our coach got schooled, hopefully he learned a few things. Granato killed the last 5:50 of 5his game when he pulled the goalie and basically invited an ENG. Then he did it again on a PP with 4:20 left. Could have been 3-2 with a goal there and no ENGs on us. Instead it’s 5-1 and game over. You can’t pull your goalie on Boston for longer than 2 minutes.

No. We all didn’t say that.

They quit.

This was a close game for 50 minutes.

Great. They quit now

Dumb again. Just take the power play and score. You guys that like this tactic are probably buying bit coin

No. But I get your point.

Nice. If we didn’t pull the goalie with 5:50 left we would be alive now with 4:20. terrible tactics

Why is he pulling the goalie? Ridiculous

Orlov just added

Hall is a fake player

Ok, let’s watch our PK. Last I saw they were 30th in the league (and falling).

That one hurt

We Want 1 !

Looks like run and gun, high speed and skill to start with. Hopefully we get to the add goaltending and defense part of the game soon.

Defense starting to buckle too. That 2nd goal was a killer. we need the next one.
