It’s because he is behind the play.

Byram nice play. Bryam bad play

They need the next one, and soon. Calling on you Tage. Get emotional.

Groan

Cozens nice shot on that one.

Montreal does want to be in last place. You can see that. I’ll bet they didn’t skip a practice either. But Terry brought the team cookies and milk yesterday, they had a nice talk, and then they took the day off. It shows.

If Zucker keeps hustling and working hard the Sabres will have no choice but to move him.

They look worse than the score. It could easily be 4-0.

No shots yet with 11 minutes to play in the period. Terrible team. They quit on Lindy already.

Laine alone. Tuch was way out of position

Terrible call. Call them both ref.

I don’t think it was in.

Huge break with the crossbar hit. Should be 2-0.

Good evening Teammates, 30 games and and we are play to staying out of the basement Bad start. Ugh MUSSELL WAIT

Really? Not seeing anything similar to the Bills. There is no current Sabre even remotely like Allen. They had Eichel, we saw how he was developed and supported and it was not good. The Sabres had "Diggs" already, his name was Reinhart, and they let him go just as he reached his prime. Hockey and football are not comparable. The draft in each sport could not be more different. No Sabres Coach could establish a culture and get the players respect like McDermott . No Sabres GM can compare to Beane. The Bills let Diggs, Morse, Davis, Hyde, Poyer, and Tre White all go after last season, most of them were captains. The media wrote them off, yet they are even better this year than last. Beane is simply light years beyond Adams. Adams should be modelling the culture building that McDermott and Beane did. All I hear is excuses.

Troops, we have no need for more supplies, more rations, more bullets. Everything we need is right here.

I did not like the trade either because I did not want to hand the 2C role to Cozens and I though Mitts was versatile and starting to become a mature 2-way player. I will add that Bryam has helped the team. Imagine the defense without him. Especially since Muel regressed. We might be able to get something for Byram when he tells he wants out this spring.

And if not 27, then 29? then 31? Sooner or later he will succeed. Right? He is telling us they are planning to make playoffs right now. He just hired a Buffalo hockey icon, they (TP/KA) better be planning and trying in earnest right now.

If it works. It’s not working now. Let it play out but so far this is more regression. I want Adams to succeed but I don’t know about his management and roster building skills, so far they are not on display are they? How many years will this take. Sooner or later the law of averages comes in.

Sure Pegula gets all of the blame. All of it. You can defend Adams, and some of what you say may be true. But he is a puppet and I have seen enough of his puppet show. I want a POHO/GM that is his own man. I want a guy that walks into a GM interview and won't take the job unless he has total control of the roster and the cap. Adams is not that guy.

Agree. Failure to add the right veteran pieces to a young team. Not that it is easy, but the results show he didn't do enough. Results do not matter in this organization. Winning is not the priority. Adams can smirk and tell you how no one wants to come here, the trade prices are too high, and all that other stuff - but that is his job and he is failing at it. Zucker will play hard and he will get traded to a playoff contender at the deadline. Greenway will probably want out too. It is highly doubtful that we will get two vets that are as good to replace them next year. The players talk to each other.

Please recall that Lindy gave this team a day off last week, the day before the Ranger game, when they were home. The result was dead legs for the first two periods, another one goal loss, and the crowd booing when they still had a chance with the extra attacker to tie the game. This embarrassing moment was highlighted by the TNT crew. If Cozens is "too tense" they should bench him and play Kulich in his spot. Practice is not punishment. Practice is what professional athletes do all the time. The better ones like to practice and they get others to like it too. They need work. Even a light practice, or special teams, something? Here they are already in the Bell Center, they have ice reserved, they have equipment, the video shows they were obviously dressed for a practice. Terry shows up with his words of encouragement and then they decide to skip practice. I find this disturbing. What messages are they sending? No practice - then skate them, no skate - then look at film. Instead, lets go out into the town, hit a few titty bars and slug down some beers. How about they EARN the time off?

So Santa came to visit the team and said he believes in them, but he has no new toys for them. There will be nothing under the tree, but he believes in them. The elves were just too busy with football matters I guess? No practice needed, they could just hang out all day instead. Go check out the city and have a little fun. Predicting another soft game, a blown lead, and a new place in the Eastern Conference basement.
