  1. GDT 2/26/20 Sabres at Colorado 8pm ET, NBCSN and WGR550

    NINE ***** YEARS OF THIS *****. The skill level between that Colorado team and us is as deep as the one between the Kansas City Chiefs and the University of Kansas. I'm not in the mood to hand out Miz Participation Awards, I'm in the mood to see the guy who has left us with this trash roster and a virtually barren prospect pool pay the price for his malfeasance he deserves to pay. Seriously I was in Rochester tonight and all I could think is these are almost all quadruple A players who aren't going to amount to anything in terms of becoming NHL players.

    The icing leading up to that WPG goal was totally unnecessary.  The Sabres could have easily cleared the zone but dropped it back, got hemmed in and iced it.  TERRIBLE PUCK MANAGEMENT.

    It as Mojo who could have cleared the zone but instead dropped it back.

    It was like he was just standing there daring the Winnipeg player to skate over and pin him to the boards.

    Sabres Twitter is embarrassing, local recent hero Duane leading the blush worthy charge.  Get a hold of yourselves.  We are fans of arguably the worst franchise in all of sport.  

    THEY LOST TO A ***** ZAMBONI DRIVER. We could miss the playoffs for 50 seasons and it won't be as humiliating as what happened to the laffs tonight.

    Some of Marty's comments for those who can't listen to the link:

    "Work!" "His game is lacking in determination and structure." "He's like a zombie out there."

    "Not even working so he should not be able to play with Jack Eichel.  That's a reward."

    "I know he's frustrated but he can avoid taking bad penalties!  When things are not going well he always takes bad penalties.  Go out there and draw penalties; move your feet; get to the front of the net."

    "When they see the guy working hard, then there's a reward there."

    "Maybe with 10 games left, you try him in Olofsson's place and see how it goes."

     

     

    If putting Jeff back with Jack caused him to start tearing up the league and helps us win games who gives a flying fig if he "earned" playing with Jack?

  12. Jbot needs to go

    How exactly is Jbot responsible for the mistakes made before he got here? 

    By what objective measures is Jbot incompetent? Have the Amerks improved since he got here? Yes.  Is his drafting poor?  We don’t know yet but it is showing promise.  Is the pipeline better?  I believe it is, especially at D and goaltending.  Cap management?  Not perfect but considering this will be the first offseason with substantial cap space since TM spent us in oblivion, I’d say a passing grade.  What about trades? Mixed, some great ( Joker and Skinner) some good (Scandella in), some below average (Scandella out and Kane) and one terrible so far (ROR).  

    The next and most important question is are the Sabres better? They are on their highest point pace since before TM.  They are scoring more goals in real and adjusted terms and giving up less in real and adjusted terms since before TM.  

    This team is far from complete and Jbot has made some big errors (like not replacing ROR quickly) but the trend is in the right direction.  At worst he deserves another season to see if he can get the team into the playoffs.

    FYI Snow was GM with the Islanders for 12 years and Milbury for 11 years.   Not really legit comparisons with Jbot but posting without doing research is a habit around here. 

    Um, guess what other team I've been a 10 year STH for? Using them to make a point about stability above all is ridiculous.

    I only post here.  However, it's kind of sad given the circumstances that most everyone is saying fire Jbot already.  This organization needs to follow through with a plan for a change rather then change course again for the 5th time since TP bought the team.  The franchise needs stability.  

    I'm also not some blind loyalist either.  I have been vocal on my displeasure regarding the return for Kane, the Frolik/Scandella trade (I'm the person who called Frolik Sobotka 2) and agree that trading ROR for a mistake.  I've also yelled in many threads for Jbot to get off his butt and do something to support this team.  However, when I look at where TM left us and where we are now, I feel the Sabres and the entire franchise is much better off and moving in the right direction, especially with some real cap space this summer to improve the team.

    If the Cult of Stability meant anything both the Milbury and Garth Islanders would've matched the accomplishments of the dynasty era. Keeping a completely incompetent person in charge will simply give him more time to inflict more damage on your organization. The only way you get real stability is to hire people who are actually good at their job, and we need to find that person NOW because if we don't nothing is going to change.

    The Pegulas should be forced to be at this game so they can see what a sad pathetic joke of a team and organization they have mismanaged straight into the toilet. Let them sit there and watch this team get flattened in front of 18,000 Laffs fans having the time of their life, just like I had to last year. Maybe seeing this will make them feel the pain, embarrassment and shame they should already be feeling and they will take corrective action like firing Botts and our horrible failures that make up our scouting department and replace them with people who have the basic competence to do their jobs correctly.

    If Carcillo wants to stick with the high ground theme against the NHL in how it is their fault for not protecting players then he needs to also NOT tweet stupid stuff like this.

    But.. Dan Carcillo. Just continuing being the drama king as he was when he played.

    How hard is this for people who ask "Why does Carcillo behave like a guy who isn't in his right mind" to realize: it's because he ISN'T in his right mind? The guy is clearly brain damaged and reminds me of when Roddy Piper would try to speak out on guys dropping dead in wrestling and how things need to change but he was so insane he was unable to effectively do so without making himself look completely nuts and basically undermining what he was trying to say.

    I would get our third back and use an offer sheet, if anything just to make them squirm for always getting ludicrous sweetheart deals. 

    They are a great team in a great location, and I think everyone but Kuch and Point have no trade clauses on their contracts. Make an offer sheet high enough and they'll sweat, deservedly so.

    worst case scenario, life gets harder for  a division rival. Best case, you get a player.

    Remember those people who would tell us that wasting 3rd round picks on awful players like Jimmy Vesey is smart because those picks have no value? Yup.
