darksabre Posted January 30, 2020 Report Share Posted January 30, 2020 I feel that dude. This year has been really hard on me, not just as a hockey fan, but as someone who plays and loves the game in general. The Sabres being miserable combined with my having had a couple injuries this year have put me in a spot with the entire game where I feel like maybe I need a break. I feel like Ryan O'Reilly talking about losing his love for the game, because that's how I feel right now. I think I'd be fine moving on to something new. I'm tired of sitting down and watching, I'm tired of putting my bags in the car and driving to the rink at 9:00 at night. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gatorman0519 Posted January 30, 2020 Report Share Posted January 30, 2020 I agree. Something is very very wrong with this franchise. It’s actually astonishing. It’s an art form now. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
larry michii Posted January 30, 2020 Report Share Posted January 30, 2020 I think that completely sums up how I feel. It seems, at least on the surface, like the sabres have become an afterthought with all the attention being paid to the Bills. I think what really did it for me was the misspelled knockoff jerseys. Is it a financial or is it just that the new shiny prestige toy is an nfl franchise. Don't get me wrong I can't thank them enough for saving the BIlls. I just wish they would pay as much attention to whats going on with the Sabres. The arena needs help. Jack needs help. He can't drag 5 tons of dead weight across the finish line each night. You could start by simply giving him back Skinner. Together they are greater than they are alone. If the rationale is that you need more distributed scoring than what you should take from that is that your GM has not done enough to stock this roster with talent. Fix this mess or just please sell it to an owner that will. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sabres Fan in NS Posted January 30, 2020 Report Share Posted January 30, 2020 I think Duane (at first read I saw Drane, as in GODD) summed it up perfectly. They should transcribe that rant and pin it up in the Sabres dressing room, in JBOT's office, in RaKru's office, in TP and KP's office and in all the bathrooms. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Andrew Amerk Posted January 30, 2020 Report Share Posted January 30, 2020 I don’t blame him. And what he’s saying is actually much calmer and more rational than what a lot of the other fan base feels, just for perspective. I love Sabres hockey. I’ve seen almost every game since 1998. Going to college during the day and working nights, taping the games and watching them late at night - looking forward to it. Then juggling 3 jobs, taping games - looking forward to going home and seeing what happened. Working all day now, then getting excited knowing it’s a Sabres night. The games have always been something I’ve looked forward to in my life, but my excitement is really starting to drain out of me. 9 years of crap in a row, but like the caller said, it’s more than just the product on the ice. It’s deeper than that. The handful of games that I’ve attended this year - I didn’t get any feeling that the people in charge cared about the experience or the details. This started way back with the “Fan Fest” that was completely disorganized, and it’s just kept going on. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Broken Ankles Posted January 30, 2020 Report Share Posted January 30, 2020 At least the Sabres posted Birthday wishes to Dom (and Foligno). I fear if they missed on that he might have gone off the rails. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LGR4GM Posted January 30, 2020 Report Share Posted January 30, 2020 While listening I realized how detached I am from this team and how little I've come to care. It's not fun anymore or even interesting. 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KC Scouts Posted January 30, 2020 Report Share Posted January 30, 2020 The kid said what everybody and I mean EVERYBODY that is a Sabres fan feels. Enough is Enough already!

SABRES 0311 Posted January 30, 2020 Report Share Posted January 30, 2020 First off I get it. This is straight garbage we have endured. The way things are going I wouldn’t be surprised if we let Eichel’s best years go by before we are competitive. I still very much want to hear what happened with Patty from both sides uncensored. Maybe I missed it. Why Bogo and ERod are still here is beyond me. You don’t want to be a Sabre? Put their crap in garbage bags and leave it on the curb in front of the arena. Bogo is essentially Mr Glass and ERod is laughable at best. Don’t like your playing time or role? Simple, stop sucking. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SwampD Posted January 30, 2020 Report Share Posted January 30, 2020 That caller was fantastic. He tricked me into thinking he was rational by his calm demeanor at the start of the call. His sentiment did not require rationality. 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

thewookie1 Posted January 30, 2020 Report Share Posted January 30, 2020 What he said is so true its scary. They need a Marketing/PR President and Hockey Ops President for the Sabres. Kim has done an ok job with the Bills but it seems between her multiple diversity boards, Bills stadium things, and being a Mom that things are beginning to fall through the cracks and the Sabres seem unable to fix any problems that are left over. We need a new Ted Black that at least gives us some lip-service and takes a beating on the radio occasionally. We need someone legit above the GM who can either get rid of Botts or get him to actually do what he was supposed do in being a cap wizard. I'm honestly ok with RK for now. But we need a new special teams coach because our present one or two in charge need to be fired into the sun. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

... Posted January 30, 2020 Report Share Posted January 30, 2020 Shocking, WGR550 took down the Tweet about Duane's call. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Radar Posted January 30, 2020 Report Share Posted January 30, 2020 I don't seem to be able to feel his passion but can't really question what he said. I will be 77 in March. Watched this team from its inception. This is possibly the lowest I sense our fan base has been. Mr. Pegula has not been at all connected to his fans. His spending is unquestionably there but that's not obviously been well spent. He needs to hide a president of hockey with a known pedigree of success and get out of his way. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
