Did you know that Sabretooth is the second oldest NHL mascot behind only Harvey The Hound?

Sabretooth with 3 assists!

Donnie's up to #7!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

This team was as unprepared to start a season as any I have ever seen in my life. A serious organization would sack the coach and his entire staff after having done such a disgraceful and unprofessional job the second the season ends but there are no standards here except failing forever. Right now I would give anything to have Torts as our coach because he'd shut down the country club, hold people accountable and get results.

This will totally be stuck in your head for weeks.

Granato belongs in jail for keeping Levi out there to get eaten alive when it's obvious he has no business being in the NHL right now.

Don is our coach until his contract expires in 2026 because we have an owner who can't grasp the concept of a sunk cost.

Guys, think I found us that hard nosed physical defenseman we all keep clamoring for:

A friendly reminder: If you put together a team comprised of players we have lost/gotten rid of over the past 6 years it would be one of the best rosters in the league and a very strong cup contender. STOP. TREATING. THE. SYMPTOM.

R-A-T-I-O

This team will continue to be the armpit of pro hockey as long as Pegula remains owner. He is to hockey what James Dolan is to basketball except even more ridiculous and incompetent.

I'm sick and tired of the neverending ***** and at this point only a "Come To Jesus" moment has any chance of making that happen. Thirteen ***** years with no end in sight and doing the same stupid ***** over and over and over and refusing to change.

He has through next season because the multi billionaire who destroyed the franchise refuses to pay any coach to not coach.

I hope he plays and sets an NHL record for goals scored in a single game. This entire organization deserves to have its collective noses shoved into ***** in the most brutal and humiliating ways possible until they decide to act like an actual credible NHL organization.

I am not a mod but if I were I think I would be far more likely to remove the reckless, stupid and borderline defamatory one you replied to than yours.

He could hold the job for the next quarter century and if he accomplishes absolutely nothing tangible in that span (like, you know, making the playoffs) then the correct answer is "never".

This organization is a pathetic country club which is why Donny and his incompetent staff have jobs for life. Note how they no longer salute fans after their rare home wins after the Fire Donny chants? Too bad nobody in the local hockey media has the courage to point any of this out.

BUILD THE DAMNED STATUE

He is the perfect example of a guy who is smoke and mirrors that a shrewd GM would get rid of while he still had value before everyone else in the league caught on.

Team is 7th bottom in the league. Almost everyone on the roster has seen their play fall off a cliff. The coach and his staff are completely in over their heads with no answers and have their jobs because the organization has no standards and refuses to hire actual pros with track records of success. The GM who was the most comically unqualified GM hire since noted lunatic Charles Wang made his backup goalie Garf his new GM failed miserably this offseason and was fine with putting all his chips on a college goalie with 7 NHL games despite anyone with an above room temperature IQ knowing it would end in disaster. 13 in a row is all but a lock and it's painfully obvious nothing is going to change. This is the most incompetent failure of an organization in the modern era of the sport so yes, I think "bitching and moaning" about this isn't "shtick", it's a response to a situation that is completely unacceptable and needs to change.

Just to make things clear as I sense some people did not understand what I said: While Pegula is a simpleton who constantly does stupid things and gets conned like a mark at the county fair on a regular basis he is not evil, he is simply very foolish. Ballard is one of the most horrible people in the history of hockey (Google "Maple Leaf Gardens Pedophile Ring" which he essentially turned a blind eye to, and that's just the tip of the iceberg).

The key difference is that both are/were incompetent but Pegula is a clueless simpleton whereas Ballard was a sick and detestable human being with no redeeming value whatsoever. Sadly he is not currently burning in Hell for eternity as even Satan has standards for admission.
