I grew up right there and always caught the Sabres when they came to town. Occasional non-Sabres games. Was always a Sabres fan though, not the Whalers. Were you Whalers first, then Sabres?
Also, how did you feel about the Carolina cup if so.
Was always a Whalers fan. Adopted the Sabres after they were murdered because they were the only Adams Division team I didn't hate (Hated the Habs and HATED the ***** Teddy Bear Scum). My wildest dream would be dragging Karmanos to the steps of the Civic Center and choking him until the ***** came pouring out of his nostrils while the entire city of Hartford wildly celebrated (and Governor Convicted Felon would be next).

The Whalers had as depressing an existence as it gets but until that fat pig Karmanos officially pulled the plug they were never as depressing and hopeless as this stinking pathetic shower of ***** franchise. The Whalers death causes me pain to this very day, there is not a day that goes by where I don't think about how much I loved them and how I would give anything to have them back. If the Sabres went away I wouldn't have that feeling of sadness, it would be the feeling of relief of seeing a loved one dying of some horrible disease finally being out of their misery and their suffering over.

I know, right. He should be trading our prospects for players with no trade clauses to the Sabres and trying to sign free agents that won't sign in Buffalo.
I mean, you're so right. You should probably repeat your post over and over. I'm surprised no one has brought this up, until right now.
I mean you can't make it up. It's literally the same exact posts in different thread titles.
5,000 days.
Can't make THAT up.

While Jack Quinn is one of the worst most negative value players in the entire league Marco Rossi is tearing it up in Minnesota.
HECKUVA JOB KEVYN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

As long as Pegula is the owner there is no hope whatsoever. He a sad stupid stubborn old fool incapable of learning from his neverending mistakes.

They were getting carved up like a turkey against Dallas with guys skating in on goal unmolested at will, I shudder to think what MacKinnon is going to do to them tonight.

The "do not look out of place but did not stand out either" is Helenius in a nutshell. It is pretty much how he has played every time I have seen him on junior or mens national team or Liiga.
That sounds like a pretty damning scouting report but how would a guy who doesn't stand out at any level end up a lottery pick? That doesn't make any sense.

The ending of this game does deserve to be remarked upon: it's well established that a team defending an empty net will be allowed to do almost anything and the refs will swallow their whistles. In all my years of watching hockey I can't recall ever seeing a team ATTACKING an empty net allowed to do whatever the hell they wanted with the ref swallowing the whistle until last night. That was insane.

There is no hope until Pegula is gone.
None. In a few years the "But The Bills Mafia" are going to find that out the hard way when he screws them up royally.

I have no complaints about the effort tonight, or most nights for that matter. What I have a grievance with is how poorly this team is, once again, constructed. We lose so many puck battles it's absurd. We are terrible against the boards. For a team supposedly built around skill, we are a terrible passing team. Our entire offense is disjointed and sloppy, so most nights it feels like we spend 80% of the game in our own zone chasing the puck around. Our forecheck is either non-existent or weak most nights.
KA has bungled this rebuild badly. I'm not saying we need to blow everything up. There are good pieces here, but we need somebody to ID which pieces stay and then get different pieces to compliment them. 3 wins was nice, but it didn't erase the enormous warts we saw during that long skid or for most of the last two seasons.
It feels like we're running in mud right now. What we need to be using the rest of the season to do is to ID who are really the "core" pieces to move forward with and who is expendable/redundant. But KA absolutely cannot be the guy making those calls...yet we're stuck with him until after the season. If they even move on then. Very frustrating.
14 years...
If you put a flight attendant in charge of air traffic control what do you think the result would be?
That's what making Adams GM was, and the results have been exactly what should've been expected.

I for one look forward to these kids coming to Buffalo and having their careers destroyed by the worst organization in hockey history playing with the last group of kids who were poisoned and destroyed and failing miserably.

We're drafting top 5
Doubt it. There are 4 close to historically bad teams in the west alone and you know we will win enough meaningless games to get into the 7-8-9 range.
This is literally the most hopeless team in all of pro sports.

Was in Bridgeport tonight and saw them lose 4-1 to Providence. This was not surprising as they have played 15 home games and won...
Once.
Yeah.

They’ll continue( TP/KA )to trip over themselves until they completely destroy the brand.
They've already accomplished that long ago, they will just keep digging the hole deeper.

The ghosts of Harold Ballard and Eugene Melnyk would like to have a word on this. The situation with the Sabres could still get much, much worse.
Both of them were awful but still had significantly more success than Pegula.

And he'll come into a roster of widdle kiddies with no leadership and fail and demand out 5 years later just like the last guy.
Nothing matters while Terry Pegula is still with us. Worst owner in the history of hockey and second place isn't even close.

Just to play off of these three posts all at once, given what we have seen from the team over the last few months, I think Terry has accepted that the team is going to suffer at the box office and with respect to season ticket sales. Remember, they get some help on the revenue sharing side of things from the league, so they aren't totally dead in the water even if their own ticket sales are in the tank. It's how Arizona stayed viable well past the expiration date on the milk carton.
They didn't "stay viable": The league was keeping the team on life support because they were desperate to remain in the market. I honestly don't think you understand how catastrophic a 6,000 season ticket base is (particularly in what is by far the smallest American market).

It sounds ridiculous, but it aligns with what we're seeing, does it not?
I'm not saying there isn't a better approach, like what you're suggesting (which I agree with). I just think they've decided to go with the plan of holding that cap space open and planning to pay guys even if they haven't hit yet.
I generally think they aren't planning to hit the playoffs in earnest until 2027. Any attempts at arriving earlier will be due to younger guys exceeding expectations.
Hope they enjoy drawing smaller crowds than Arizona was playing in Mullet Arena until then. Next season they have a good shot at having under 6,000 season tickets sold in a league still heavily reliant on ticket revenue.

Adams is uniquely horrible in that he simply is incapable of grasping the concept of roster construction. His trades and drafts have been nothing more than grabbing pieces with absolutely no regard to if they fit. The Byram trade was Peak Adams: Trades someone at a position where we are weak/have no depth for a guy who is completely redundant and adds NOTHING to what we already have.

Was there. We looked awful and had we been playing any other team besides Bridgeport we would've lost easy. Team looked like they were gassed from the night before and were really sloppy all over the ice but Bridgeport is beyond horrible and has only won once at home in 15 games this season.
