Agree, and would add that Sabres fans keep putting hearts into teams and players (we want to love them), followed by disappointment, and ultimately, playing with the Lottery simulators. I will not stop being a Sabres Fan, but I get the yo-yo-ing, to a point. Fans will fan, but one thing that is needed is some time for facts to be assessed (but again Fans gonna fan... so wind up your yo yos, here we go again tonight).

I like many have been a fan since I could watch (or listen to RJ) - for me in the early 70's. Here is da facts on SABRES franchise: Owners: 5 (not including 2003 NHL control after Rigas kerfuffle) GM's: 9 with longest tenured being (you guessed it) - Darcy w/ 16 yrs.. Coaches: 20 in 53 yrs. = 2.65 yrs. in the job on average - non sans Lindy for more than 268 games (Muckler). Playoff games: in 52 yrs. made playoffs in 29 of those yrs. = 255 post season games, or 4.9 games per post season - basically, knocked out in first round (4-1) on average. Alternately, if we only consider the years the Sabres made the playoffs (29 of 53 yrs), they played 8.8 games on average per post season, so made it to the 2nd round on average. Seasons missed playoffs: 23 of 52 years, and none in (all together now) 12 yrs... OK Spoony, what does this all mean? Let's ask Pat.

You got game within the game during intermission. Not enough to talk about with Sabres tonight, and well. Isn't the hockey better Blue/Devil?! -

Youngest team in league. Still early days. That said, GMKA is going to have to trade some of his favorite ‘pieces’ to get a few veteran difference makers at some point. IMO, Sabres need a few more veteran players who have won in the league. Need to use some chips from recent drafts while they are desirable. Not everyone can make the big club. This is what will determine how good of a GM he can be (make smart tough decisions). I don’t think we can truly assess Meatballs until he does. -

US fans only have NHLN option. Not everyone has NHLN as a streaming option. Remember this is the NHL, where we don’t believe in promoting our sport.
