    If true, that there was literally no option available (which I don’t believe can possible have been true, especially because other teams have addressed GT) then it merely seals to illustrate how poor of a decision KA made on Ullmark, when there was apparently no viable backup plan available 

    Letting Ullmark walk is really going to end up a Whalers trading Ron Francis level ***** up isn't it?

    Yes and I have used a lot more swear words watching the team this year than any year before this combined. It changes something in your psyche 

    I keep thinking back to that preseason game vs the Pens when Crosby (who had less to prove than anyone on any roster in the entire sport) instigated a fight. He wasn't content to lollygag and not give his best effort, unlike all our guys doing victory laps for accomplishing nothing and being lazy and out of shape. That's why he's Crosby and we are the biggest losers in hockey history.

    As good or as bad as you think VO is...when you sign Cozens to the extension you did, you can't have him disappear because one of his wingers isn't optimal.  

    He's not a superstar getting paid $14m, but for $7m+ (and we want to think that is a bargain), you need to expect Cozens to be able to carry lesser teammates, not be brought down by them.

    VO isn't just "bad", he is a boat anchor who sucks down any line he plays on. There are very few players in the league who could carry a guy who is that bad.

    Keep in mind that it has never, ever been so simple to make the Sabres a shoe-in. Not since the co-captains were here. Do one or two of these three simple things, and we'll see you in April! And the clown just sat there with that goofy grin for six straight months. Completely insane

    He is petrified at the thought of giving up one or two of our 5,435 undersized forward prospects to fix holes so obvious they can be seen from space.

    The Amerks were more talented, but wanted to play pond hockey too often. No commitment to defense, peeling off checks, turning the puck over etc. The organization in general, from Buffalo down, just doesn’t have the appetite to commit to playing responsible hockey. I don’t get it. 
     

    Appert even called out Rosen by name in his post game interview for his abysmal effort on the OT goal. He never calls out players by name in a negative way. That was surprising. 

    They organization is still too busy taking a victory lap over missing the playoffs by a point.

    This is why some of us were hard on Kevyn for this summer. Until the things that sunk us last year don't sink us this year, his offseason is going to look obscene for a team trying to push over the hump, with players documented by @tom webster as really wanting the help. 

    You would think a guy who has made several good trades while in a position of weakness (Jack, Sam, Risto) would make more trades as he seems pretty good at them.

  7. That was honestly one of the absolute worst sporting events I have ever attended. Only ones comparable:

    Mets-Dodgers game 4 NLCS with Soscia hitting the game tying 3 run home run off Doc and killing my dream of going to the WS with my dad.

    Bengals-Jets last game ever at Giants Stadium. Just about the coldest event I have ever been to, Bengals down 31-0 at the half and it was over.

    Sabres-Leafs 2019. 500 Sabres fans tops at KBC. Enough said.

    USMNT VS Costa Rica 2017 WCQ at RBA. Absolute disaster that set the stage for the unthinkable in Trinidad a month later.

    Too many goddamned Metrostars/Red Bulls matches to even list.
