I know in reality the NHL team would win but you have an NHL team that doesn’t care and an AHL team that is the exact opposite. Purely on talent Sabres win but if you throw heart, passion and structure it would be a lot closer then it should be. It’s a damnation of the NHL franchise

With these gutless f&$@s I’d actually take the Amerks. They play a system and with heart. Sabres don’t play for each other, the D stinks and Amerks get the advantage in net.

Is this the most depressing loss of the year? Past couple of years?

Dahlin at 10pm tonight.

I’m totally lost. Is this the 2nd failed rebuild? The 3rd? 4th rebuild’s the charm.

I would pay $100 to watch a livestream of Kevyn and Pegula discussing the season and next steps. Just fascinated to hear what they would even say.

“Kevyn you announced at the beginning of the year that there were no more excuses. It was playoffs or bust this season. You will be drafting 2nd OA in the draft. Do you feel like this is mission accomplished?”

Serious question. I think with the better structure the Amerks might take it.😳

At what point does Pegula have some f^%£ing pride in his name and legacy and say “this has been an absolute embarrassment for far too long.”

An uninspired loss to SJ at home on “Bills Night” sounds just about right for Pegula.

Outshot 12-5 by (checks notes) the Sharks🤪

Let’s hope McDermott driving the Zamboni isn’t the highlight of this game

That quote will be in the next season ticket drive letter😛

Chicago had Bédard and nothing else. We can piss on Buffalo all we want but there is enough talent on this roster to be playoff contenders with a couple moves. The problem is the front office either won’t or can’t make the moves to help the team get better. Im not defending that it is a great roster but it isn’t even close to the worst plus the Amerks are first OA in the AHL with a ton of kids playing well. There are pieces here the front office has failed to put them together into a competent team.

Leenders was OHL goalie of the month: “Goaltender of the Month – Ryerson Leenders (Brantford Bulldogs) Buffalo Sabres prospect Ryerson Leenders of the Brantford Bulldogs has been named the OHL Goaltender of the Month for February, posting an impressive .921 save percentage. Leenders went 9-1-1-0 during the month, making 352 saves and recording four performances with 35+ saves. His standout moment came on February 14, when he made 43 saves in a 10-1 victory over the Niagara IceDogs. Leenders’ strong play was pivotal in keeping the Bulldogs at the top of the Eastern Conference standings, securing their spot in the 2025 OHL Playoffs. Playing his third OHL season, the 18-year-old from Nanticoke, Ont., has compiled a record of 26-12-3-0 with a 3.16 goals-against average and .907 save percentage through 41 games. Originally selected by the Mississauga Steelheads in the second round of the 2022 OHL Priority Selection, Leenders was traded to Brantford ahead of the 2024-25 season. In 122 career regular-season games with both teams, he holds a 62-44-10-0 record with three shutouts, a 3.23 GAA, and a .901 save percentage. Leenders was selected by the Buffalo Sabres in the seventh round of the 2024 NHL Draft (202nd overall).”

I think this is a little ridiculous. I would trade our ownership and GM for any other in the league right now though.

The assistant coaches are still employed because they have existing contracts and firing them would mean spending more money on new coaches. But remember: no financial constraints

I know. I’m just saying breakdowns happen every shift in hockey. Most are overlooked because the goalie makes the save to bail the play out.

“We Haven’t. done Anything” should be the Sabres new motto

https://www.nytimes.com/athletic/6171886/2025/03/04/buffalo-sabres-fan-survey-results-2025/ Exactly what you would expect but maybe having it in print to the public will embarrass Terry enough to do something.

Man as sad as it is to say this is a big game. A loss to the lowly Sharks will set the Sabres up nicely with a top 4 pick. Someone make it stop

I predict he walks in the room, angrily points at a picture of a palm tree in his hand and storms out without uttering a word. 😀

He left out the part where Reimer let in a muffin to end the game instead of making the routine save which would have cancelled everything else out.😛

I don’t think they will. I think teams are calling so they are listening but they are setting the price so high that other teams will move on to different players.
