The ending of this game does deserve to be remarked upon: it's well established that a team defending an empty net will be allowed to do almost anything and the refs will swallow their whistles. In all my years of watching hockey I can't recall ever seeing a team ATTACKING an empty net allowed to do whatever the hell they wanted with the ref swallowing the whistle until last night. That was insane.

There is no hope until Pegula is gone. None. In a few years the "But The Bills Mafia" are going to find that out the hard way when he screws them up royally.

If you put a flight attendant in charge of air traffic control what do you think the result would be? That's what making Adams GM was, and the results have been exactly what should've been expected.

I for one look forward to these kids coming to Buffalo and having their careers destroyed by the worst organization in hockey history playing with the last group of kids who were poisoned and destroyed and failing miserably.

Doubt it. There are 4 close to historically bad teams in the west alone and you know we will win enough meaningless games to get into the 7-8-9 range. This is literally the most hopeless team in all of pro sports.

Was in Bridgeport tonight and saw them lose 4-1 to Providence. This was not surprising as they have played 15 home games and won... Once. Yeah.

They've already accomplished that long ago, they will just keep digging the hole deeper.

Both of them were awful but still had significantly more success than Pegula.

And he'll come into a roster of widdle kiddies with no leadership and fail and demand out 5 years later just like the last guy. Nothing matters while Terry Pegula is still with us. Worst owner in the history of hockey and second place isn't even close.

They didn't "stay viable": The league was keeping the team on life support because they were desperate to remain in the market. I honestly don't think you understand how catastrophic a 6,000 season ticket base is (particularly in what is by far the smallest American market).

Hope they enjoy drawing smaller crowds than Arizona was playing in Mullet Arena until then. Next season they have a good shot at having under 6,000 season tickets sold in a league still heavily reliant on ticket revenue.

Adams is uniquely horrible in that he simply is incapable of grasping the concept of roster construction. His trades and drafts have been nothing more than grabbing pieces with absolutely no regard to if they fit. The Byram trade was Peak Adams: Trades someone at a position where we are weak/have no depth for a guy who is completely redundant and adds NOTHING to what we already have.

Cozens last night be like:

This is an AHL level roster performing the way you would expect an AHL roster to perform against NHL teams.

As a matchup this is the equivalent of a team with no pass defense whatsoever and the worst QB in the league playing Josh Allen and the Bills. (Come to think of it that scenario sounds like playing the Bengals if Joe Burrow was out with an injury)

Friedman's report was a less direct way of saying "Other teams around the league know that the Sabres are the most incompetent organization in hockey history with a track record of catastrophic mistakes. Their GM is comically unqualified to be in the position he is in and is failing horribly and desperate. Teams smell blood in the water and sense an opportunity to take advantage of this and Adams better smarten himself up or this will end up the next Sabres trade catastrophe."

If lots of organizations that are a million times more competent and well run than us are targeting Cozens you should probably be asking "why"? The red flags here couldn't be more obvious and our GM is the mark at the county fair, this is going to end real bad.

That won't ever happen until Pegula sells the team or gets called home by the Lord.

COME ON UNCLE STEVE, BUY THE SABRES AND SAVE US!!!!!!!!!!
