Players are happy and want to go to an armpit of humanity like Pittsburgh because they are always a winning team. Players would have no problem coming to Buffalo if the team was good, in fact the location bordering Southern Ontario would be a draw for many of them.

Good thing they traded him for a guy who has statistically been just about the worst player in the league at his position since we acquired him.

Can a horrid coach singlehandedly wreck a perennial cup contender? Yes: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/2010–11_New_Jersey_Devils_season

Halfway through they just hit a brick wall and had nothing left. Fortunate to get the win even though it was a bogus skills competition one.

The mistake with the soccer stadium was 100% the location. It's in the absolute worst area of the entire city and people did not want to go there (particularly at night).

Krebs should have his ass nailed to the bench for the rest of the game and be scratched the next game for that Risto level low hockey IQ penalty.

"bUt ThE bILlS"

The absolute best thing that can happen is for this team to lose all it's remaining games in uncompetitive fashion. It needs to be so ugly that there is no choice but to fire the entire coaching staff because if they come back with Donny and company next season is already over before it even starts.

Exhibit A:

They need an actual NHL quality coaching staff WAAAAAAAAAY more.

Could you imagine if Mike Robitaille was still doing the post-game show what he would be saying right now? Instead we have Pegula State Media trying to sugarcoat this atrocity.

Tonight is really the first time where I am really thinking this team will not be here in 5 seasons. This fanbase and franchise are dead and unless things change drastically headed towards the same fate as the Whalers.

Look at all the players this organization has churned through who went on to great success elsewhere.

Torts has a team with a roster that makes ours look like the 85 Oilers in a playoff spot.

Yup, the strategy of churning through players has worked out great... for all those teams who were shrewd enough to take advantage of our stupidity.

Imagine thinking any team would be foolish enough to offer their leading scorer for him? Seriously, could you imagine some team being dumb enough to do something li... Oh.

Good on Rivet calling Harrington out on his ***** here.

Sabres have missed the playoffs for 13 seasons and counting. The single worst team in the history of pro sports (1962 Mets) won the World Series in their 8th season. The idea that a half decade of being a league punching bag is in any way acceptable is completely ridiculous.

I get Granato is a real nice guy and everyone likes him but so was Rich Kotite and would you want him as head coach of the Bills?
