Boosh is active tonight.

Wow. Boo. cheesey goal

Hello Teammates, Punch checking in. TNT. Let’s get rolling.

Looking forward to a win tonight. Go Sabres!

This is a true comment and the poor performance of the team is the reason for it. That and the lack of star players. I still don't get why it is ok to trash the fans like he did. He was here a long time, and he extended his contract. He did some good things in Buffalo and some good things within the community, and then he pretty much threw it all away. It sounded to me like the behavior of a person that is not mature for his age and experience.

I just asked PA why he thought Jack's blasting of Sabres fans was rightful and there you go with your obsessive defense of Jack Eichel. I am interested in why PA thinks that. Your opinion on anything related to Eichel is well documented. Then you go blaming the baby boom generation for the onslaught on Jack. Do you really think the majority of the twitter and message board fans are boomers? If you want to talk about a lack of self-awareness, or any awareness, then look no further than yourself.

Ok, I'll bite. Why was it right that he trashed the fans?

Coaches talk to the players one way and to the media another. I don't think you can go ape$hit after every loss, there are 82 games.

I enjoy your posts a lot although some are inside jokes that I don't get. DG is not the problem right now. It is lack of experience and too many injuries in one position. We have very few vets and the ones we have (Skinner, Girgs, Kyle) have never won consistently, if ever in the NHL. This team could be in some ways like the Islanders of the late 70's. Lots of talent and young high-quality players that needed a few years to blend and learn how to win. Of course, they had two excellent goalies and we have none yet.

Punch checking in. Just got back from The Legendary Blues Cruise #37 from San Diego to Baja Mexico and the Sea of Cortez. I am tired. We lost. Dahlin did not play. We are missing a lot of defensemen. The teamed played hard. Ran out of gas late in the 3rd. Goaltending might not be good enough to consistently win. Sick of losing to Tampa and Florida. Got it, going to bed now. I am tired.

I never said the fans will come when the team wins. Others have said that but not me. I go think they will, everyone Ioves a winner. I said the excuses like “the experience”, the arena, the music, the food, the bars, etc., is all BS. Hockey fans want good hockey.

I think there is a lot to disagree with. Did the old Aud suck because it had crowded halls, few food choices, crowded bathrooms, etc? How many great bars and restaurants were outside the old Aud and adjacent to it? The old Aud’s antiquity was the experience. That, and good hockey, All Star players, and a team that was popular and embedded in the community. In the best years the experience was the game, not the bars afterward. Many people bring a kid to a game, do you think they stay out all night bar hopping? The current arena is not great but it’s no much different than the average arena in most cities. There are bars and restaurants nearby if that is what you feel is needed for “the experience”, downtown Buffalo is so much better now than the 60’s, 70’s, 80’s and 90’s. The music inside changes with the current pop culture. The only thing I agree with are the ridiculous costs of tickets and food. That is true everywhere, in every city.

The Bills never mattered in the 70 and the early 80’s. There was a time every Sabres game was sold out no matter what the Bills were doing. The problem is we have a recent history of bad teams and no Star players. No big name all star players. Since the Hasek era and with very few seasons as exceptions, the Sabres are the Washington Generals of the NHL.

Sounds exactly like last year. Everyone was buying 300’s and moving down. The ushers didn’t even stop it.

Muscle weight. This cannot be 3 L’s in a row. Home game and time to fix things.

No, no yet. Which prospects are being blocked? Savoie had a look and went back to Juniors. No one in Rochester is going to help right now. No one in Europe is going to help right now. So far Quinn hasn’t been able to push a vet to the bench. JJP is doing ok. The prospects are all in their correct places

My only dispute is the second sentence. I agree with the rest for now. But I think this could turn around with 23 and 10 back and some time to get things clicking.

I go back to the days of the AHL Bisons and the Aud without the oranges. This pains me. I was at the Saturday Matinee against the Panthers expecting a big crowd and lots of young fans. The crowd was sparse. I only saw the last 4 minutes last night It looked and sounded like we were the visitors Adams wants to bring the fans back I am sure of that. His sense of urgency may not be as high as I would like it to be. There is no doubt that WNY has an entire generation of young fans that live the Bills and do not know the Sabres.

Sounded like the Habs were the home team on their 3rd goal. The 100 level was 90% Montreal jerseys. Yes. I am expecting a bigger home crowd after a 3-1 west coast trip. I was expecting a bigger Sabres crowd and a win. Agree. The younger fans have never seen a good product. The amount of Star players is embarrassingly low since Hasek era teams. The older fans probably prefer to watch it on TV.

We are not going to suck. At least not by design. No way will I watch them if the ever do that again. I am already concerned about attendance at home. I watched 4 minutes of hockey tonight and it looked and sounded like a Montreal home game. This group has to figure out how to climb up to playing respectable hockey and be consistently hard to play against. I want to get the fans back.

See the bold above. If true, that would be my complaint.

Stop it.

Gallant effort my azz Rayor. A home loss to Montreal is unacceptable.

Terrible play trying to pull the goalie. Obvious icing by Buffalo. Get to the damn red line.

Hello Teammates, Punch checking in just in time to see Cozens tie it up. I am in beautiful San Diego. On another “I’m retired road-trip”. I will be heading out on Saturday on a Blues Cruise down Baja and into the Sea of Cortez. Go Sabres! Muscle Weight.
