The Bills and Sabres could both be successful if he lets the hockey guy run it as Beane does the Bills. But Terry is a hockey guy and his GM doesn’t need any other execs and consultants. Meanwhile Florida GM Bill Zito made sure his exec consultant got his name on the Cup - that would be Rick Dudley who lives in WNY. Oh, and Peterka being the favorite was pretty creepy.

The team’s performance leaves the door open for firing. I got the feeling Kevyn is not going anywhere. Sounds like he is complying with the boss.

Like a guy his age. Seems to be a sharp guy.

If not you hurt his development. He aspires to more than 4th line.

Watch it. Lance and Sabres talk starts at approx 16 minute mark, when Lance leaves (approx 40 minute mark) Marek talks about the team for a little longer. What’s disheartening is it sounds hopeless.

I’m proud of Lance for going on Jeff Marek and providing the insight that he did. Marek has known the Sabres in good times. He knows what’s going on in Buffalo and the fans are getting fu@ked. He mentioned the fans several times. I feel more disheartened now than ever before regarding this teams future. At least I had the first 40 years.

We don't really know that. We do know that Lindy has them playing worse than Granato did. Most of the young players have regressed. What did Lindy do, help rebuild the do nothing 4th line? There were many other veteran coaches to be interviewed that were just as relevant Lindy. Another case of hiring who he knows and likes and can control. Terry is the root of it all.

It makes me feel more than ever that this team will never get better because Terry is going to run it his way. No veteran GMs will work for him if he has such control and so many guidelines on how to run the team. So much for hire the best, then empower and support them. That is too easy. I doubt I will purchase another Sabres ticket, lets see what the off-season brings. And BTW, once the players hear this interview you can bet they will be wanting out too.

Then Dahlin should get an academy award for best Acting by a bilingual hockey player He definitely talked to Adams, he is definitely unhappy with losing, in his rebuttal he said he never said “leave”. But he said a lot other things. I was really pissed last game and it’s going to continue.

Why do you think he Ruff is the future POHO? Will he leapfrog Adams to this position?

Maybe not in this organization. But successful organizations realize they have to take care of all stakeholders, especially fans that pay the salaries.

I know you have not been a fan. He has very little around him, sure wish he could be more like Bobby Orr and dominate, but he is not that generational level of great. Sorry, he just isn’t.

IDK. He seemed to like his teammates and was popular. Maybe 57 games is not sufficient time to make him a core player and pay him ?

Ask the national media in the USA and Canada and the answers will be fan base. The older era players remember the fans and understand they deserve better. Especially the ones that remember the Aud, which was a hard road game for any team since day 1. We had one great owner that cared about the team, picked out the beautiful Uni’s, hired the best front office that he could, hired the best PR and announcers that he could, fixed up the venue the best he could, and created a hockey experience and tradition that captivated fans in WNY and Southern Ontario. One great owner is responsible for this team to still be clinging to its existence. Terry knows this, but he fails to follow that blueprint.

True. Trade and retain is better overall. Donkey is a light weight player. Tage is fighting which no wants to see, and Benson is fighting, and our big stay at home defender is taking tickets in the crowd. If he played defense like Bill Hajt (a guy that didn’t fight but still played physical, smart, and strong) I wouldn’t care as much but he doesn’t. In today’s league you don’t have to fight, you just have to get involved and support the guys on the ice. Tuch isn’t a fighter but he took on Rasmussen (6’6” 225 lbs) after he blew up Bryson. Tuch also fought a Tkachuk. The guy is always for his teammates. He remembers the team meetings after the Tage incident. Donkey is still not getting it and never will.

Kane was available at the height of “no blockers”. When every Adams draft choice was a future all Star.

You can't. That was terrible. the Wings looked like a good team. UPL was alone out there. He was not good, but which impossible save would have made a difference? They Wings were all over him. The play of Samuelsson tonight was criminal. Quinn too. They contribute nothing. I would just stop playing them.

Aye. I have seen enough. Move him out.

Sabres killed their power play.

Tage backing up his teammates. Samuelsson doing nothing much - AS USUAL. Benson has more fight than Muel. Trade Muel and get a man back there.

He has done it before

Three more rookies is not the choice. Firing Adams is the first step. Fire all the coaches too. This is terrible hockey and I actually miss Granato at this point.

It looks like it. Dahlin has been quiet too, hardly noticed him tonight but he has 20+ minutes.

Samulesson backs away and actually lets Kane come in on UPL one on one. Incredible. UPL should break his stick over his head.

Yes. Sure. We need 3 more rookies on the team next season. That will help. Are you paying any attention to the last 3 seasons? He is one of the best analyst in the game. do you prefer Ray?
