You just know Adams had an 8 year/$64 million contract drew up for Kulich after the game😝

NJ can’t score. They have Hughes and Hishier and Bratt but don’t get much from anyone else. Meier has been a disappointment for them and Mercer’s offensive game hasn’t developed. They need more options up front.

Sadly the effort you put into this is higher than the FO has put into the team this season. Well Done😁

No it’s about Pegula not wanting any pennies spent. They can’t risk a trade that adds any payroll. When they brought Lindy in cheap because NJ is still paying him part of his salary and didn’t let him bring in any of his coaches because that would cost additional money then the writing was on the wall about how this team is being operated. Got to run lean so Terry can maintain his lifestyle

Might as well lose every game now. Ownership doesn’t care, FO doesn’t care, players have checked out. If they end up last OA even Pegula can’t justify bringing this clown show back. Only hope is he bumbles himself into a quality hire like with the Bills

Yep and the fact they were able to contain the run game for the most part against Lamar and Henry

Can the refs nail the Bills with multiple roughing the passer calls if the Bills can’t get a pass rush going? We shall see Sunday😁

LETS GO BUFFALO!!! Deja Vu all over again next week. 4th Time’s A Charm!

I think we will know early. If Henry and Lamar slice and dice them early again on the ground we will know they have no answers or adjustments and it will be a long night again

You would think after missing the playoffs for 14 straight years he would kind of get the idea that he doesn’t know nearly as much as he thinks he does.

Adams said it was playoffs or bust. My only thought is when the Bills stadium overruns came out Pegula told Adams no spending allowed.

Nemec is young still and has a lot of developing to do but I remember being very underwhelmed watching him at the Prospects Tournament the year prior not that it really means anything in the big picture.

The real hero of last night’s game.😂

LOL I saw the topic and thought this was new and Adams was doing another presser😂

I don’t think Adams has an individual thought on what to do. I’m convinced he just listens to Pegula and does whatever he is told. He then goes in front of the public and lies through his teeth about there being no financial constraints when every single decision made is to the contrary. Adams was hired with no front office experience because he would listen to Terry on all his ideas. I think Adams is gone, he will be sacrificed but the next hire will tell us if there is any chance of things changing. Only if he hires a seasoned NHL guy will I know he has changed his mentality.

When you hire employees who aren’t qualified to do their job and then can’t figure out why it’s 14 years without the playoffs. Get a clue Terry.

Lindy was brought back because Adams wanted someone to bring accountability and teach them how to be mentally strong and how to win games. It has failed miserably. Adams has failed miserably. But there is no doubt in my mind that Adams has been handcuffed as well. Handcuffed financially. Bringing Lindy back and keeping the rest of this failed staff was setting Lindy up to fail. Adams needs to go but I’m convinced they just slide Karmanos or Forton into the spot so more money isn’t being spent and that person just has to follow Pegula’s plan to the tee.

So no management even showed up for this even with Season ticket holders. I’m speechless that they don’t have the balls to face the music. I hope none of those people renew for next year

14 years of no playoffs. No one connected to this organization has had any success here for going on a decade and a half. This means there is not one person in this organization that can be looked at for any type of culture other than a losing culture. All this organization knows is systemic failure. Why do you think they collapse so easily when they are up. No one knows what it’s like to win or what it takes to win. And it all falls at Pegula’s feet. He damned this organization with his refusal to hire “seasoned, successful NHL people” to run the team. He wanted to spend money early, demanded big contracts for guys like Leino and Erhoff and got burned. Then he bought the Bills, then the pandemic hit and he shifted to running the Sabres on the cheap. Won’t spend to the cap, won’t do real searches for qualified GMs or coaches, bring back Lindy and won’t let him bring any coaches in. These young players are thrown to the wolves and set up to fail. And the cycle will continue until Terry sells the team or brings in some seasoned NHL people and steps back and lets them work with no financial constraints.

Yes the answer is it’s the fans fault. We should all be ashamed of ourselves. I insist everyone in this board log off and go pop in your “Best of the Sabres Playoff Highlights over the past 14 Years” video and take some time to reflect.😝
