  1. Realistically, the Sabres don't have a top line...loaded with 2nd and 3rd line played...but not top line material.( Tuch, paterka...really?)
  2. What happened to him? I just don't get it!
  3. Our "big scorers" are way over rated...not first liners. None of them.
  4. Ask Darcy Regier how that works out. Better and quicker way is move this crap show and start new franchise ...look at Vegas, Seattle and Utah. All far better off...and right from their first season thanks to NHL expansion procedure.
  5. Yep. Be honest, couldn't you just feel the Penguins mojo ramp up when they pulled their goalie down ONLY a goal to the Sabres the other night? They KNEW (everybody could feel it-be honest- INCLUDING the core Sabres) that a choking was about to happen. Soft to the core.
  6. Where's the accountability we were promised? Bench the slackers, it can't get any worse!
  7. And yes, some of them are not smart....and young!🙄
  8. Ok, then there are too many "young" unskilled players on the team. My point was they don't have enough skill players. Compare with top 10 rosters...it's a joke and been a joke for quite sometime. The franchise doesn't get it.
  9. This team doesn't have nearly enough "skill" players- smart guys that can handle the puck and bury it when it counts. They are short a true #1 center and a very good second line wing. Lindy can coach them into a solid "team".. install his system...give them 20-25 games, which means missing the playoffs..again.......BUT they do not have the skill to make the plays consistently enough to turn the corner. This team will have the same issues that the team was having when Lindy left 14 years ago- can't get it done by just working their tails off. Effort only goes so far!!!! This franchise just doesn't get it. Blue collar mentality won't get it done.
  10. Well, I haven't seen anything new or different from the end of last season....a few different numbers out there but.....am I missing something? Same old same old.
  11. The "problem" is the Sabre's unfortunately aren't close to being a Stanley cup contender roster wise. Why is the goal being lowered to "just making the playoffs?" If this is the goal now, then some more moves by Adams should be made NOW and the heck with thinking 2-3 years down the road.(Young prospects might need to be sacrificed ) If your goal is to contend for the cup and go deep in the playoffs, Tage and Tuch aren't both going to be playing on the top line when that happens. Line 2 is realistic. Presently IMHO we don't have a REAL first line. We're 2 elite wingers short with this young, present roster. This will take more than a season. So back to my question, what's the goal...right now, what's the goal?
  12. Well, it's way too early, but....Utah ahead of us? Really? The claim is Buffalo just hasn't done enough this off-season considering all the pressure to win now. Hmmmmm. Think I've heard this somewhere!!!https://www.espn.com/nhl/story/_/id/40509506/nhl-power-rankings-2024-2025-best-teams-standings-free-agency-trades-draft
