Sabres Fan in NS Posted December 9, 2021 Report Share Posted December 9, 2021 (edited) Tomorrow night they will surprise the Rangers. Take that momentum a step further against the Caps. Pack it all up and take it to the frozen tundra that is Winterpeg (hey, oh @Thorny and @Ducky and GO BOMBERS!!) and just keep rolling into the Christmas break.

Gatorman0519 Posted December 9, 2021 Report Share Posted December 9, 2021 In a sense we would be better off restarting as an expansion team. We'd have a better roster, and not an entrenched losing culture. And fans would show up at the games. As the one commentator reported, eyes will be on Buffalo about this attendance. The rest of the owners cannot be happy with Terry. He has put out now, officially by the end of this season, an historically bad product. No team has gone 11 years with no playoffs. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't believe that. The culture isn't the problem, its the goaltending now. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thorny Posted December 9, 2021 Report Share Posted December 9, 2021 8 hours ago, PerreaultForever said: To think, when the Pegulas bought this team we were 15th overall, and we've never gotten that high since, and usually not even close to that level. It takes a special kind of skill to be this incompetent for this long. Weren't we in last place? Then we went on that sweet run to the playoffs, no? Ennis goal in game 5 OT probably the last truly great Sabres moment, I guess? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PASabreFan Posted December 9, 2021 Report Share Posted December 9, 2021 They were 27-25-6 and five points out of eighth on that fateful day — the day Buddy Ebsen couldn't pick Perreault out of police lineup, said Lindy wasn't going anywhere, challenged the press to tell him what Darcy had done wrong, said of Regier that he could "work with him," urged the Buffalo News to be more positive in its coverage to help the players perform better, and said he liked "hard-working, gritty players." 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They went 16-4-4 after that fateful day, on which Elly May was not introduced as co-owner, sat quietly in the front row, made sandwiches after the presser and dutifully accepted her assignment to redecorate the lockerroom.

The following season, it crashed, yes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bottom line, Terry and Kim have ruined this team, because "they know better." 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Berg Posted December 11, 2021 Report Share Posted December 11, 2021 As soon as we will have pair of good goalies in the net we will have a winning streak. Tokarski and UPL look not bad, but we need someone like Price as number 1. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
