I’m not expecting any changes except maybe to the intern to the assistant janitor of the Sabres locker room. Sad, very sad that Pegula doesn’t care about winning.

TP does not give many quotes anymore, but unfortunately I don't trust any of his statements. Is he a liar, perhaps not....but he is a coward who lacks the courage to answer any questions in public and clarify anything that he once said that no longer seems to be true (ex. winning the Stanley Cup).

We all know TP and GMKA have their heads up their a$$e$, but if they just watched even a game or two of these playoffs, how can they not understand this team isn’t remotely close to being built for the playoffs? Unfortunately, I am feeling more convinced that they don’t want to build a team capable of succeeding in the playoffs….but rather a team of soft players who lacks guts and physicality.

I wonder if the other players resented Benson being there simply because he plays with heart and guts, unlike the majority of other older and bigger players already there. The young little scrappy kid embarrassed the rest of the roster by doing the heavy lifting that others should have (but didn’t).

On a different note, I am surprised that Ruff let Appert, Wilford, etc. serve as his assistants. Once again following Adams.

Yes, it is a bunch of BS!!! I think we've heard this exact message from the liar GMKA for the last 2, if not 3 years. He's a liar and he thinks we're stupid that fans will keep believing him.

Sometimes I wonder if Kevyn Adams really played in the NHL…he seems completely incapable of talking like he’s and athlete vs. a politician.

GMKA completely an idiot on the concept of team toughness….he seems completely indifferent on doing something there other than his standard….”We’ll look at that”.

Who the F cares if a guy like Bryson is “liked” in the locker room!!! I want a responsible GM to focus on the high priorities vs. worrying about extending a filler 7 or 8 reserve defender…who isn’t very good at playing defense. Geez Kevyn…were you really worried about losing Bryson to another team?!?! What a F’in idiot!

There’s virtually nothing I’ve heard Adams say today that is different than what I remember from last year. Maybe some of the names are different of course, but the essence of what he’s saying is that they (and HE) wasn’t good enough, that they continue to look for ways to improve the roster, that they’ll do deep dives into all areas, and having more “conversations”…blah, blah, blah.

True….I should have said that I want to hear ADAMS himself say it. Show a pulse like he cares vs. talking like he’s disappointed that his order of French fries were cold and soggy.

Broken record….they’ll keep looking for ways to improve…..wash, rinse, repeat.

Sorry, I don’t want to hear about how players, coaches, management and ownership are disappointed about the lack of success…how about being MAD, PI$$ED or ANGRY instead

OMG - terrible non-answer to Harrington’s question about spending to the cap. Cue the replay that Terry provides whatever they need.

For a guy who says they are open to doing anything/everything….it’s misleading to the fans for saying this time and time again…..when you don’t do enough to move the needle.

Yes to your question. Pegula is and always has been the problem….or obstacle to success.

Some points are valid and I agree, but what the overarching intent of my post is that nothing changes as long as Pegula and Adams are still in charge. The fish stinks at the head and I don’t see Karmanos or any other GM (even from the outside) having the autonomy to operate independently. A new GM (Karmanos, etc.) is still nothing but a figure head having a GM title, but no real position power to make sweeping changes.

My cynical side feels that if there is change in the FO, it means everybody who is already incompetent gets a promotion (ex. title change too). GMKA gets POHO, Karmanos gets the GM job. In other words, a big nothing burger.

Well, Zuck may have just PO'd Terry and GM Howdy Doody with this quote. Maybe our thin-skinned owner and his favorite GM son will now trade Jason this offseason....since he dared to say something that doesn't match the company line (even though it is the absolute truth).

I would be curious if somebody can compare GMKA’s comments from last year’s season ending presser to this upcoming one. What I am fishing for is to see how much this year’s comments will sound exactly like last year’s. In other words, I am saying GMKA doesn’t need to have a presser this year…..all he has to do is replay last year’s.

Is there another option for “NO” based on the notion that they are simply not good enough (vs. just being unlucky)?

Terry thinks he’s smarter than everybody else. Very little change occurs despite the overwhelming evidence that things are not working. Having a delusional owner who is too stubborn to admit he’s wrong is an unacceptable situation.

So will Austin get 400 as an ENG?

Not sure what all this means (above), but I simply don’t see the city stepping up at all. I honestly think the politicians in Buffalo and Erie county are indifferent to the possibility of the Sabres leaving. I’m not trying to be political at all….just merely speculating that the city will not offer much of anything to improve the arena to keep the team in town.

Muel wasn't satisfied with injuring himself multiple times....he decided to injure a fellow teammate (friendly fire) with the collision that ended up hurting Power.
