“Philly, Tampa will take a step back”. Baseless bias, we hear this literally every year
Yep! Empty promises.

I am as frustrated as anyone but I realize a lot of the anger with the four years of Adams and Granato has more to do with the nine years that preceded them. The Sabres are still the youngest team in hockey and don’t need a major overhaul.
Yeah, the nine years before they came on board wasn’t their fault, but the current duo of Adam & Granato have had four years, and have fallen short each year...in a league where 1/2 the teams make the playoffs.
Also, Pegula has been at the top of this pile of crap for all 13 years, so yes, the fans have a right to and should be pissed off as much the last four years, as the nine that preceded it. Anyone who still has season tickets is just flushing money down the drain. Hopefully this offseason people express their displeasure with their wallets.
The best thing that could happen is if Pegula sold the team…the sooner the better.

Is Wahlberg coming over because his team was eliminated and joining the Amerks just for the playoffs, or will he be here for next season and beyond?

This is peak Pegula-Era Sabres. Hijacking a gameday thread to discuss Taylor Swift. Congrats Terry, you are doing a great job!
Awesome!!! 😂😂😂

Get off my lawn type complaint…
In Florida for a month. Enjoying the complex pool most days, unless there are kids in the pool screaming “Marco….Polo” at the top of their lungs for what seems like an eternity. 😂

Also, no one is arguing Mark Stone’s injury isn’t legitimate.
So it will be a coincidence that Stone’s injury happens to heal just as the playoffs are starting?

Pegula & Co have ruined my fandom. I read the first few posts in this thread and was like who cares. I know nothing about Byram, and don’t care if Mitts is a Sabre or not.

It doesn’t f***ing matter that the players have not been around for all 13 years. These dumbass players should not need to be reminded that the fans have been around for all 13 years of the Pegula Trainwreck(and for some many many more years than that). The frustration level is at an all-time high in Sabres history.
What a surprise, bunch of millionaires can’t relate to Joe Fan. 👎🏻

Can't count the number of open practices I attended during the 70's. Those Christmas break practices likewise filled the Aud with 16,433 children and accompanying parents.
Somehow, the scrimmage virtually always ended in a tie
The open practices were not only a big deal for kids, but also adults who couldn’t get game tickets. If you weren’t around for the 70’s, you have no idea how crazy Sabres Mania was during that time.

According to Hamilton(just on WGR), Dahlin was pretty vocal about the “Fire Donny” chants. Does this mean he led the boycott? Who knows?
Also, sometimes Hamilton talks like he knows more than he really does, so take all this with a grain of salt.

Very petty move by the players. Says a lot about the leadership by the players, coaches, GM & owner.

KA put these rumors to rest. The rest of this info chafes me quite a bit.
The fact that Pegula is in on the daily goins on and said to be frustrated is just asinine tbh.
Do something Terry. This team is begging for it.
No one can convince me that Pegula is not meddling day to day. It doesn’t stop at…
“Says TP is involved in the amateur scouting meetings; mostly listens, but takes notes and asks questions”.
When you have ruined the franchise to the point where they have missed the playoffs for 13 straight years in a league where half the teams make the playoffs each year, you get zero benefit of doubt.
Just sell the f***ing team already.

Hi everyone! 👋🏻👋🏻👋🏻
I haven’t posted much in the last couple of months(bad HC, worse GM & terrible owner), but I still lurk often. Just wanted to say, this is still the best message board for Sabres talk…and also non-hockey talk.

Speaking of wasted roster spots for useless players, I didn't like the honorarium that was gifted to Okposo and to a lesser extent Girgensons.
Welcome to my bandwagon. Plenty of room for others.

Rochester is an hour away and at home tonight. No excuse for going 11-7. If you need a forward, make the call.

If DG goes with 11 & 7 again on Friday, win or lose, I am packing it in until he gets fired.
-
Repeatedly dressing 7 dman when you have 12 healthy forwards is idiotic. DG is in over his head at the NHL level, and needs to be dismissed….the sooner the better.

My first two picks of Barkley & Pollard and ending up with Lawrence as my starting QB sunk my team.

I cant imagine Greenway - Kulich - Rosen not being an improvement. worth a shot at this point for sure
How can you “imagine” that when 2/3 of the line you are proposing has not played a single second of an NHL game?

No the Buffalo Sabres coaches get until the end of the season. If they fail to make the playoffs again than fire them at the end of the season in my opinion. Go Sabres! Let’s Go Buffalo
What about the GM? Should he also be fired if they miss the playoffs?

Knew there was a 2nd one in the Buffalo area. Didn't realize it was in Williamsville on Main.
Still need to check out the one in Webster. 20 minute drive trumps 1-1/2 hours.
It is actually in Clarence on Main between Transit & Harris Hill.

Why would a life long WNYer think this?
I get the food and restaurants. But what do you have against AKG and the Darwin Martin House?Because I have no interest in them, therefore, they hold no meaning for me.

Kevyn and Don, should we really expect more after four years?

Answer to the problem…
1 - Pegula sells the team
2 - New Owner fires Adams, Granato and all of his assistants.
3 - New Owner hires experienced hockey man to be PoHO.
4 - PoHO hires experienced GM, who in turn hires an experienced HC(at the NHL level).
5 - GM & HC determine that this isn’t a playoff roster, and setup a plan to fix it. No one is untouchable…NO ONE.
6 - Playoffs are the minimum goal in 24-25.
