Owning/ending the drought: say it out loud, Sabres

[PASabreFan]

The old saying, Ain't Momma happy, ain't nobody happy comes to mind. Until the Sabres end the drought, ain't nobody happy. Ain't nothin' gonna change.

Why another Pegula owned team wouldn't take the same approach his football team took... owning its drought... is beyond me.

There's still time for the Sabres to openly make it Mission One. (Of course there's more than just talking about it. No one should want Adams to mortgage the future to make one playoff appearance, but he has lots of room to move on the spectrum of GM moves.)

As for talk, they missed an opportunity to set the tone off the opening faceoff of the offseason. In Staal's statement, certainly written by some staffer but OKed by KA I would think, the new assistant wrote, "Throughout my career I was fortunate to be on so many successful teams and I hope I can lean on some of those experiences to help the organization moving forward."

How bland. Help? Moving forward? As opposed to backward?

Why not:

Throughout my career I was fortunate to be on so many successful teams and I hope I can lean on some of those experiences to make the Sabres a similarly successful team and not only end the playoff drought here but do what we did in Carolina: win a Stanley Cup."

There's nothing the Sabres can say at this point that will make me care about next season. The Miss Buffalo has sailed.

Lazy player says lazy statement. Towing the SS Pegula Yach PC line. 

If Pegula was a flavor, he would be great value, sugar free, lactose free Vanilla.

The team is not good enough

Players don't want to come here

Respectable GMs and up and coming coaches don't want to come here

They are at LEAST 3 solid players away from competing for 8th, and that does not even include goaltending.

They're screwed, so I have just come to accept that this team may never be good again. If they luck into the playoffs here and there, great, but that is pretty much all I am expecting over the next few years,
