    Live in SW Arkansas. Flying out of Little Rock with a connection in Atlanta to Buffalo. 

    Oh okay, lol. Hope you find a good way. If you were up in the Northeast (depending on where again), I was gonna suggest some alternatives

    I can't remember ever losing interest in the Bills, even during the 17 year drought. I don't even remember losing interest in the Sabres during the tank years because I always knew something really great was right around the corner. 

    Coming into this year, i thought that the waiting was over and this was going to be step 1 to plenty of years of consistent playoffs. Here we are, halfway through the season, and I got nothin, I mean...nothin. Even if this team went on to win its last 10 games of the season, being a STH after all these years is beyond dead. I have obviously been extremely down on this team over the years, but the last few weeks are different. I will never watch the beginning of the game, and unless Buffalo is up by 2 goals, the tv does not go on at all.

    How does one go from being one of the biggest fans that I know...to really just writing off the sport all-together? Maybe I haven't, but right now, this is new territory. I have 6 center ice tickets for the game on Friday and none of my kids even want to go. The last 3 games we have attended have not only been losses, but games where the team has been booed off the ice.

    I fear that coaching is not the only issue with this group. What if all this talent that we thought was on the verge of being stars are just decent hockey players and are way further away than we think. That is a scary thought to me and if it truly is the case, it may be years until I am back. I love this city more than anything and the only two teams I have ever cared about in my life are the Bills and Sabres. 

    I really hope that I am wrong, but something just isn't right with this group and I don't think coaching will solve all the issues. A coach should not be responsible for getting these guys heads right every other night. If that drive is not instilled in you as a player already, you will never get it to surface. Add more players around you will similar drive, this is what you get. This group has sucked all the fun out of watching for me and I never thought I would see the day where it just makes sense to shut them out. It's the only way I know I will not get frustrated, and I don't need that emotion if I can simply choose to shut it down.

    Hell, I am the person that made Lincoln Station in Chicago a Buffalo bar. If this team can do that to me, what damage has it done to the casual fan.... Go Bills, Go Sabes

    Maybe with the Bills comparison it's cause of the number of games, sheer burnout

    And also how dominant football is nationally/media wise. quite a few of my friends are still big on hockey though (and the sabres), but that's probably cause we haven't had a decade plus adult years of disappointment.

    Halfway there and they’re done like dinner. I really wish KA would make himself available to the media on a weekly or bi-weekly basis. Answer a few questions. Tell us how he feels things are progressing. Pipe dream ? Whatevs. The transparency would be nice.

    exactly how I feel

    we can surmise a lot and probably be right, but I'd like to at least hear something

    Kraken always looked to be one of the more difficult teams in this easier stretch.
     

    Hopefully bounce back next game 

    Oh they will, and then probably lose the one after that -- Sabres hockey, folks.

    lol, perhaps the pessimism is a sign to get off the net for the night. usually I am optimistic. I do think the canucks game will be a good test for what is to come

    good night guys
