With this current roster minus Jack and Sam they are far more likely to finish with 55-60 point than 80. Even with Dahlin it's the most putrid roster in the league by miles.

People simultaneously ranting about needing to change the losing culture while calling for getting rid of the few NHL players we have so that we have a roster that's lucky to win 15 games and gets killed on a nightly basis is itself quite a disconnect.

I have learned the situation with Sam stems from an altercation with Tage a few weeks back:

"David May, European Cup winner and multiple time Premier League champion..."

If he did he'd resign and tell Pegula to hire an actual qualified and proven GM.

Because the guy coached multiple teams for years and almost never missed the playoffs, something this fetid tub of dogshit organization hasn't even done once in a decade. He's as close to a Barry Trotz (remember how he got tagged as a "playoff loser" for years until he wasn't?) as we are going to get.

Go to Boudreau and give him whatever the hell he wants. We need a credible proven coach who commands respect and brings credibility.

So Jack is going to be traded and the guy charged with pulling it off is a GM who is just about the most unqualified GM hire in hockey history. Yeah...

The team being bad isn't what broke him. The team ***** with his health and wellbeing did. Seriously how hard is this to understand???

No hockey person of any repute is coming to this organization. This is the Chernobyl of hockey, the most toxic organization in all of pro sports.

Anyone who thinks Jack is in any way the bad guy in all of this is so monumentally dumb that I marvel that they are even capable of breathing.

Then this team is trapped in a living death forever. Simple as that.

Me: I couldn't possibly hate Terry Pegula more than I already do. Terry: Hold my beer...

"You tell Kevyn to protect Tage OR ELSE..."

Anyone who grew up in CT in the late 80's-early 90's and was a rags (or teddy bears) fan is worse than Stalin, Hitler, Mao and Peter Karmanos combined. Also it's very clear by his not even having done an interview for the 50th anniversary celebrations he wants no association with the Sabres whatsoever so yeah, screw him. May he fail as miserably as an exec for his beloved rags as he did a player.

Unfortunately that was several years back before he became a leaguewide meme.

Why don't people understand that the single biggest reason Risto hasn't been moved is that his value around the league is so pitifully low that keeping him and hoping by some miracle he figures it out is the only real option?

How do you save a group of giraffes stranded on a sinking island? Simple: Build a giRAFT: https://www.google.com/amp/s/www.livescience.com/amp/raft-rescue-stranded-giraffes.html

We are playing teams fighting for either positioning or their playoff lives with half our starters out and being forced to use the 4th and 5th goalies on our organizational depth chart and having to undo all the damage that conman inflicted on everyone. Being competitive under those conditions is an incredibly positive sign. If we resign Ulmark and find a competent professional #2 goalie making the playoffs next season is well within the realm of possibilities.

Have any other crap hot takes you want to share with us?

Giraffes. Lots and lots of Giraffes: That is all.

Let's rename Key Bank Center to: #TeamMagicGiraffe

After reading that the team was interested in bringing Miller back for this season before his likely retirement and Ralph nixed it made me want to waffle him right over his head with a Balls Mahoney level chairshot.

Send them to Camden, NJ as that's far far worse.

The past decade of Sabres hockey??
