We look AWFUL.

Even when they get a juicy chance in the slot they just fire it into the goalie's crest.

JFC, Tage

100 minutes of hockey, zero goals.

Power whiffs on a shot and Tage takes a penalty. 3-0 coming up.

They lost 13 straight last season and all that happened was an Uncle Terry locker room pep talk and a day off practice. They aren't firing anybody.

2-0

We've said something to this effect at least a dozen times the last two years. He isn't getting fired because this isn't a serious hockey organization.

2012-2025 Sabres ---- 2025/26 Sabres

80 minutes of hockey, no goals. Going swimmingly.

Of course. So, much of the hope for this season hinged on an extremely injury prone player staying healthy for once and he's gone for "significant time" before opening night is even done. I'm sure Kev has a good "plan b" up his sleeve. 🙄

It is bizarre and unfortunate because he is a pretty damn good player. But the guy has played 5 full NHL seasons and is best known for being injury prone. On a team like this, that needs A LOT to go right to get over the playoff hump, counting on a guy like that is foolish at best and abjectly incompetent at worst. That trade should have never been made and I don't think a competent GM does it.

I'm a glutton for punishment so I'll still be watching when the drought hits 20 years. As I watch this current batch flail, the uniform still inspires memories of what made me fall in love with this broken, broken franchise...Mogilny, LaFontaine, Hasek, Hawerchuk, etc. I can't blame people for tapping out, it all feels so damn hopeless.

Norris has been a full-time NHL player for 5 seasons. He's played 236 games, or 47.2 per season. The guy is incredibly fragile. Yes, he has skill and is a responsible 2-way player when healthy, but that's not very often. Plus he's locked up for basically 5 more seasons at $8MM per. That was a reckless and irresponsible trade that no real GM would make and it should cost Kevyn his job...but it won't.

Great head of hair, though...

I'm setting the over/under games he plays this year at 8.

This team needed Norris to be the very best version of himself, and he is quite good when he actually plays, to make a legit run at the playoffs. If he's out long term (spoiler: he will be, if not now...soon), this team is going nowhere. Again. Because our oxygen thief of a gm looked at last year's team and said "oh yeah, let's run it back!" Cleveland Clowns, but it's an exclusive club.

When your power play gets booed in GAME ONE, you might have been sucking for too long.

Sweet trade, Kev.

We wait and see. If it's not serious, it feels like it's just around the bend.

Norris got hurt on a faceoff. You can't make this ***** up. Great trade, Kev.
