The nitwits on WGR going on making the Pens sound like the dynasty Islanders when at this point they are propped up by Sid, Malkin, a horseshoe up their ass and the officials they have in their back pocket and how keeping it close against them was some sort of achievement. If anyone watched the game it was clear this was like when in soccer a traditional power plays away against a relegation candidate and just gets a goal, goes through the motions and collects the 3 points to conserve energy for the tough upcoming matches.

Does everyone realize that the Pegula's net worth has gone up $400 million since last April according to Forbes?

"This is Buffalo Sabres hockey!" Me:

The Pens have completely just phoned it in tonight and are winning this game relatively easily.

I have very little faith that Adams isn't going to get sharked as bad as any GM in history has ever gotten sharked if an Eichel trade happens. I'm expecting Ron Francis trade level bad.

Jesus may forgive the Pegulas for what they've done to the Sabres but I sure as hell won't.

I for one can't wait to see Sam traded for some draft picks in the next 2 drafts that are all but a lock to be 1999 level dogshit.

We need to pair Cozens with Tage because an even toed ungulate (White Horse) and an odd toed ungulate (Giraffe) is very balanced.

This entire thread is a great example as to why so many people in the sport have such a low opinion of fans.

If there is a God the Jackets fire Torts and we hire him and kick Ralph upstairs. We desperately need a guy like that who will come in, kick ass, take names and hold people accountable.

Gallant wouldn't be a suck up toady PSE yes man so there's zero chance that ever happens.

I'd be happier for her if her parents hadn't done what the Rigas family failed to do and killed the Buffalo Sabres.

We just got beat on home ice by a Devils team missing almost all of their relatively few good player and were outplayed by a significant margin. There is no way to sugarcoat things, to quote Michael Ray Richardson: "The ship be sinking."

What will the excuse for this wretched performance be from the Stooge Brigade online and the trash Buffalo hockey media? How will they cover for St Ralph the hockey genius?

The price just skyrocketed because they know now they have us by the nads.

Fair enough. Just remember reading a lot how he was often in Radar's doghouse his first several years and it clouded my view. But the point on Hedman was true so I'm batting .500.

Reality Check: It's common knowledge that PLD wants out of Columbus so he can play in a big market. Does that sound like a guy who wants to come to Buffalo?

When the other team has clearly phoned it in and said "Here, have two free points" and you "dominate" and still lose I don't want to hear "Well, we looked good". No, you had a game you should've won but failed to. Seriously, how many of you think this team isn't going to end up 0-6 to start the season at this point?

Years back before Marvin Lewis arrived and there were at least winning seasons in Cincinnati there was an editorial cartoon with Dick LeBeau inspiring the team by saying "Let's go out there and lose by less than we usually lose by!". Listening to Ralph on the postgame felt a lot like that. Talk of moral victories and encouraging defeats personify the losing culture he was allegedly brought in to change. Losing needs to be made unacceptable because as long as playing well in defeat is celebrated than losing is all we will continue to do. For God's sake make winning the standard for this organization that it once was seemingly eons ago before it became the dilapidated outhouse of pro hockey under Terry and Kim.
