    Just because it hasn't happened yet doesn't mean it won't.  It's easy for those of us in countries with safeguards for free speech to criticize, because we don't know what it's like over there.  But people have been punished for supporting gay rights in Russia (the band ***** Riot is one notable example) and for criticizing the Putin administration.  

    Agreed. Look at Britany Griner. You can buy those vape pens in any corner store. Over there she goes to jail.

    So because Danny was awesome for us his son gets a pass on his bad behaviour? 

    The internet does bring things to the forefront that used to stay hidden. the world has changed. You don't get to jock your way out of as many things today as you did back in the day and that's just the way it is. 

    We should be better? 

    No, HE should be better. 

    I said I didn’t want to promote this topic any further, but you provided a thoughtful response, so I don’t want to ignore you. My sentence regarding him being Danny’s son was awkward. Agreed that a celebrity’s kid should get no breaks for that status. Hard stop, no exceptions. His behavior disgusts me. So we agree there.

    Totally disagree with it being harder to “jock” your way out is harder today. It might get more media coverage, but it’s still just as rampant imho. It’s just being caught on tape more. These guys wouldn’t give their public mea culpas if they hadn’t been taped. I think we would probably agree on it over beers.

    We can all be better.

    Public shaming sucks. I don’t want to be apart of a fan base that public shames. There’s plenty of other forums out there for that. Ones I  don’t participate in. This is a hockey forum, not a public shaming town center forum. I think? Right?

    Another minor point is how many degrees of separation do we need for it to become relevant on here? Was there a thread celebrating his kids scholarship for college hockey. Probably not. 
     

    And please understand, the kids actions disgust me. Period. No excuses. 
     

    Cheers.

  19. Are the Sabres out of the running for the playoffs?

    Was reacting at the lets see them 4-5 years from now. That will NOT work. Already losing fans fast.

    Well buckle up or get off because that’s where this trains headed. Let me look into the crystal ball, KA is not making a big move. Hope I’m wrong. I see playoffs next year, with a first round exit. Maybe two wins. Year after we start making waves but fall short. Hopefully after that our window opens. 
    I’m not thrilled, but it’s a reality check based on KA’s tenure here.

    I do think there are moves to be made to improve our chances without selling out down the line. Like a big bad forward with a physical presence. Oh wait, that’s Greenway. Yeah it sucks.

    Are you seeing a TEAM that really has turned the corner and on the cusp of getting to the PLAYOFFS?

    I am seeing a YOUNG TEAM regressing cause they got hurt and Adams and Granto did nothing to help THEM out. Could have called up Rochester players for a game or two to help out when Tuch was hurt.

    Now I am watching that TEAM in a Total Collapse, They can't stop goals, bad defense and NO offense to speak of scoring wise.

    PROGRESS?

    Whoa!! Easy.

    I agree with you. Like 100%.

    Am I seeing a team on the cusp of playoffs. Absolutely not. Next year? They will need some major holes filled.

    If they are together when they are 25-29 years old with the right coach I think they might be pretty darn good. But my personal pet peeve is we need to get tougher in d zone.

    Cant stop looking for abuse. As far as Greenway goes. I’m not impressed, he’s not physical enough, at least to my expectations. Wasn’t that why he was brought in? It wasn’t his scoring prowess. I hope the hell Meatballs doesn’t think he can turn him into one. He looks lost and moves a bit faster than a glacier. He also looks disinterested and quite frankly doesn’t look all that skilled.
    That being said I’m not ready to trade him for a bag of pucks. We have him for two years. I’m hopeful they will find a spot for him in the second half of the lineup. Develop him over the summer, gel with teammates on and off ice. Put the work in and get a sense of urgency. That’s on the coaches. Fingers crossed, Donnie has done a fine job with quite a few players. He fixes Greenway and I’ll be impressed. Fire away!

    I'll keep beating the drum, but the brand damage is actually huge for this organization. Losing an entire generation of a fan base, it's going to take years to rebuild it. And only a long standing winning environment is going to do it. Let's hope that starts next seadon. I understand why KA says their strategy is longterm success, because that's the only way they're going to climb out of this canyon they are in.

    I grew up in Buffalo, 56 years old. So I was fortunate to see some fun years. My son watched games with me. He’s in his twenties, left NC and moved to Buffalo. He struggles to watch Sabres. He does, but it’s not like when we watch the Bills. I hope this team can get the fan base back. When it gets going, man it’s fun!

    I agree about a winning culture but you have to be confident that your team is great to have such a strong winning culture. They know, like we do, that this team isn’t good let alone great. 

    Totally agree. What’s that formula? Who knows. But I’m hoping that they go home, scream, kick, throw ***** around. Get it out of you , it’s toxic. Come back for these last few games when other teams ARE playing playoff hockey fighting for a spot while we aren’t. Learn from it, learn to be physically, see what great teams do. Try to match it, win some games. Be tougher for damn sure.  Maybe it makes them feel better about themselves for throwing the season away for being so freaking soft in the end. Maybe it gives them a taste of it. Maybe that carries over or at least gives them a glimpse of what very good teams look like.

    Or we continue to suck for all eternity. Today sucked!!!!
