  1. Botts was actively shopping ROR well before the 2018 trade deadline. He clearly wanted to get rid of him. Botts is far and away the absolute worst GM in the entire league, a complete and total failure. Our roster is terrible, our prospect pool is mediocre at best (and at forward it's actually really bad), the drafting has been poor (passing on the leading goal scorer in the OHL for a dime a dozen defensive prospect, packaging late round picks to move up in late rounds, the infamous 6th round trade with the Leafs that was among the stupidest things in sports history) and absolute stupidity in handling player development (Tage and Mitts). There is no excuse for him not being sacked the second yet another non playoff (and very possibly another bottom 5 season) ends.

    Amerks win 3-0. Pilut with a EN goal. I tried to watch Casey throughout. Only heard his name a couple of times. I did catch him on a few odd man rushes. He seemed to go to the worst spot on the ice to create or capitalize on a scoring chance. He would slow down, swoop in behind the play and somehow put a defender in-between himself and the puck handler.  I don't know what he's doing. I'm not sure he does either. 

    Which is quite the testament to the amazing coaching he has been given by this organization. They literally kept a bad high school coach behind the bench for TWO FREAKING SEASONS and people can't understand why this organization is the laughingstock of the entire sport?

    Jack was here when Jason got here.

    Games like this are an important reminder of the roster Jason set out to put around him, after three offseasons of work. 

    I spent all of my anger and emotion on this fact months ago, and feel complete indifference today. Didn't even check the score of the game until 20 minutes ago. 

    Thank god for the Bills, because I've never felt less for the Sabres since I've known what they are

     

    And the worst part is that he isn't going anywhere for the next several years because he has conned our horrible ownership into believing he knows what he is doing when every shred of evidence says the exact opposite

    Well, I find that to be rather un-encouraging from Krueger on Eichel. No info, said update tomorrow. Wouldn't give any specifics. He mentioned something in the warm-ups, but wouldn't confirm it happened IN the warm-up.

    I'm thinking concussion symptoms presenting. 

    So essentially it looks like they worked Dreger and Vogl with the flu story to cover for what was really wrong. Always a great idea to outright lie to the media to make them cynical and not believe anything you tell them.

    Matthews shouldn’t even be an MVP candidate seeing as he’s got far more support around him and isn’t blowing his teammates out of the water.

    1. Hasek - did the most with the least

    2. Roy - incredible player and par with Hasek

    3. Brodeur - great goalie with longevity but was, to at least some level, aided by his team’s system 

     

    Nobody is even close to Hasek. Any time this argument comes up this is what I say: Remember that game 7 between Dallas and St Louis last year where Bishop had a performance in defeat that people were saying was among the greatest in playoff history? Hasek in his prime had performances for us like that on a fairly routine basis.

    Jason's Sabres have had stretches of:
    2017-18:
    5 wins in 22 games
    5 wins in 23 games
    3 wins in 14 games

    2018-19:
    8 wins in 26 games
    3 wins in 24 games

    2019-20:
    5 wins in 20 games

    With none of these stretches overlapping. He made zero trades during any of those, except Wilson for a 5th. He ain't doin *****, hell 5 in 20 is pretty dang good by these standards lol 

    Edit: Kane trade came between two of those stretches

    bUt MuRrAy WaS wOrSe.

  7. Figured I'd start a thread for traveling or displaced fans to organize and meet up with one another at road games. Anyone going to the game on LI a week from Saturday? I still remember the game last year where the first thing every single adult Sabres fan did after entering the building was make a beeline straight to the beer vender selling tallboys. I told my Isles ticket rep they should've sent Housley a check as a thanks for all the beer he was responsible for selling that night.

    In its proper thread ...

    I’ll be optimistic ...

    5-3 Sabres

    Scandella,, Larsson or Vesey with a goal.

    My best friend who has been going to games for decades was at the rags-Devils game on Saturday and said he has never seen an NHL team in person that looked worse than the Devils. This one is an absolute must win, and really the outcome shouldn't even be in doubt going into the 3rd.
