We saw who hardly anyone thought they were and I won't let em off the hook! Are we going to do this again? "Well, they finished really strong." Well I am going to evaluate the whole season, it matters to me. I want to see better play from Tage, Tuch, Dahlin, Cozens and Power. That is our Core right now. They don't get points for finishing strong but at least we hope to see a measure of character. The goal is still playoffs. If they miss they failed.

I’m usually with this line of thought but after last seasons late improvement led to absolutely nothing this season, its hard to believe it matters.

OverPowerYou Posted February 6 Report Share Posted February 6 People complain about the attendance at the arena. I know that the Sabres play 41 away games and 41 home games. Maybe less games on Tuesday or Wednesday nights may increase attendance. We rarely see weekend games consistently anymore Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Put out a better product and the arena will be full any time on any day. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It matters for the players. The problem with this season is Adams, Adams, Adams, and Adams. Adams did not get a goalie, again. Adams did not improve the defense nearly enough because he did not address the top 4, again. Adams did nothing to improve the forwards, which is why an 18 year old 170 pound winger makes the team and has a better 2-way game than the majority of the forwards that were already here. Adams also stayed with a sub standard NHL coaching staff after watching his 2nd consecutive AHL assistant coach leave for a position on a contending NHL team. The buck stops with Adams. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don’t disagree more fault lies with Adams, but all of our players have regressed since last year’s run to 9th. I don’t have confidence that they won’t similarly regress at the beginning of next season. Yes, this is mostly on KA and Donny, but it’s on the players as well. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The fans hate losing more than the owner, the FO, the coaches, and the players. The fans have been invested for many decades. We need you to help lead the GDT's back to their former glory. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Which is EXACTLY why I am watching Tage, Tuch, Cozens, Dahlin and Power very closely. I want to see better play, more accountability, and more leadership for the remainder of the season. Why did they regress? Injuries? They could not string 3 career years in a row? Bad start right from camp? Bad luck? All of the above? I don't expect them to make the playoffs. I just want to see if these core guys really give a dam. 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was just thinking how when I was in high school I’d fantasize about going to games with my friends once we were all 21 and having some pops before, during, and after the game. I’m about to move home 14 years later now and I couldn’t care less about catching one. Disappointing to say the least. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I confess I was more stoked to see a 40-year-old concert film I'd already seen 30 times in a theater last year than I have been to see any Sabres game this season. (Not last season, though.) The product matters. Also, I haven't yet gone to a game live this season, so there's still time to change this. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
