  7. KO knew very early we didn’t have it - something was missing

    Worst captain in Sabres history.  Great dude.  Had no business leading this team.  
     

    If I had to guess what I think it was - the 3 goalie situation.  Benson making the team (nothing against him just acknowledgement of how thin we are at F).  And honestly, my guess is the coach not having them ready.  But that’s also on the Captain.  


     

    Wasted season - nothing made sense.

    and watching Zadorov in these playoffs you have to add him in. Here's the very guy most of us think our D desperately needs/lacks and we'd drafted him. He could have been a lifetime Sabres but no, we didn't think he was worth having either. Geniuses, just total geniuses. 


    I always liked him.  He’s been really really good.

  9. The Sabres should trade the 11th overall pick in the 2024 draft

    If we can get guys to waive NMCs we’re going to be in business.  

    I’m 100 percent sure this has been a massive problem for Adams probably since last year’s trade deadline.  I refuse to believe they just have thought oh yea, just keep rolling with our young guys.  And resign Okposo and Zemgus bc no one wants them - those options were better than forcing a trade we probably were looking at overpaying and for a guy who didn’t want to come here anyway.    
     

    The lack of significant moves not involving Jack or Samson - both trades we did not get the better player - this has to get fixed.  Trades for guys that have yet to have an NMC kick in doesn’t mean that’s the player we need.  This is a serious issue and I don’t know how you fix it.  
     

     

    My suggestion is this - go after Crosby.  Instant, instant credibility brought back here.  I don’t even think it would cost that much.  11th, maybe 3 prospects.  Why wouldn’t Crosby do this?  His run there is over.   

    That's how you get guys to come here.  
     

    Probably a 2 percent chance of this but it’s time to think big.   

  11. Off-season Game Plan 2024

    If the core guys we decided to build around can’t get to 90 (Tage, Dahlin), 70-80 (Cozens, Tuch), and 50-60 points (Quinn, JJ, Power, maybe Benson) then we need to make some significant hockey trades. 
     

    But I don’t think that’s necessary.  They can get there.  I want to see those forwards with Lindy.  I want to see Power and Muel with Lindy.

     

    I want to see Skinner bought out   
     

    The entire bottom 6 needs to be revamped and we need one more physical D man.

    We are not far off we just need these boys to become men.

    People who rooted for the bruins last series… now look at this mess 


    I’ve turned.  I think I really am not in the mood to see Reinhart v Casey in the Finals. 
     

    Nothing against Sam.  I’m just done with my team and our fans getting kicked in the nuts.  Happens enough to our team in games.  
     

    I started rooting for Boston couldn’t help the emotions sometimes that just happens. 
     

     

    Rangers are winning the Cup anyway.  The Knicks are playing the Pacers.  OJ was in the news.  The Yankees are built right.  Vancouver is awesome.  Full 1994 vibes.

  20. Lindy Ruff officially hired as Sabres HC

    in The Aud Club

    Quick takeaways 

    1. He mentioned faceoffs.  I have zero doubt this has been discussed as a massive problem.

    2. He talked about needing elite Defensemen.  He’s correct.  Common denominator with the best teams.  
     

    3. He talked about how - these weren’t his exact words - but how it’s important for everyone to get excited about the little things they do in the game that should get guys fired up.  Like blocking shots or good clears, etc.  There is more to get excited about then scoring goals.   
     

     

    I feel good about this.  I think Adams and Lindy know what needs to be addressed and where they have to improve. 
     

    It was awesome to hear him interact with Harrington and Hamilton again.  Flashbacks not just to 2006 but 1997-98.  
     

    Cannot wait to see what we do.

    Lots to like.  But I understand any frustration.  My list was Peca, Lindy.  

     

    To me more then anything else this feels like it puts to bed forever the “stink” of the tank years.  
     

    Jack.  Gone.  Sam.  Gone.  Their coaches plus DG gone.  
     

    Lindy had nothing to do with those teams.  Nothing to do with the tank and not one player we acquired.  He won here.  A lot.  
     

    It’s a true fresh start in every way with a leader that right away will show these guys what it means to win in Buffalo.

    So, all the things we loved about attending professional sports as kids are gone, ruined because of greed.

    Not if you’re watching this Canucks game rn. 
     

    NFL game advantage is its once or twice a month.  8 games a year.  People will go. 
     

    Have a terrible hockey team playing another one on a Tuesday in January?  Tough draw.
