Colorado gave about a 60% effort and still coasted.

Why? What does Ruff offer as an advisor? Seriously. He needs to be gone, retirement. Enjoy life.

Time for the bags or Picket in front of Adams house lol

8th? Lol, this team without a heart transplant is finishing bottom 5.

Keep Bryson around and maybe we are talking bottom 3.   They desperately need a real centre. 
When they finish 2nd last and thr ping pong balls don't fall our way.  Is there anyone else besides McKenna to get excited about ?

I can hear Adams now “I mean, it’s three games into the season. I understand the fans frustration but the booing doesn’t help anyone do their job better. You’d be surprised how far a little support goes. I believe in these guys. The answer is in this room.”

I hope he's in a different location saying that via Zoom...

I don't see the point. Just fire Ruff again. Fire Adams. Promote Jarmo and either Appert or Leone. Name Prospal HC in Rochester. They have to do something soon.

This isn't the draft for a real center... lots of great wingers though.

My buddy left and was the Chief Engineer at the arena. He knew

Frankly I just want to save face for Ruff; the rest I have little care for.

I mean.. not to go too far down this rabbit hole but I'm not sure why Pegula wants to keep this team and not sell it. 

He's got a crumbly old arena... But his NFL franchise is moving into a shiny new Palace. 

The hockey team has a dwindling fan base and whoever's left is in an uproar... While the football team has even the most casual fans stumbling over themselves to buy more merchandise with the logo on it. 

Anytime he spends with the hockey team... He could probably just as easily be more around the football team and be getting more national attention and adoration. 

The football team generates so much more revenue and is worth so much more... Pardon me thinks why does he even want to bother keeping the hockey team.. just find somebody to sell it to in facilitate the sale. That.. And at least for the next couple of years his life becomes so much more enjoyable.

Maybe he can even keep a very small minority stake in the hockey team... Just so he can still be acknowledged as a minority owner and get his luxury box seed if or when he wants to show up to a game.

Someone that can help the PP.  Need to find someone who can think  further than just feeding Tage for the one timer

Had to work today so I missed the game. I figured this one would be a loss. Colorado is a good team. Judging from the posts there wasn't much effort again.

[SwampD]

I couldn't watch. Did we pull the goalie?

[#freejame]

Fire everybody. There won’t be coming back for me if there’s an internal promotion. I’ll throw out my Sabres gear and pick a new team. ***** this team and ***** Terry.

I recall last year so many here loved the Ruff hire. I wasn’t one of them. It was so clear they hired him for nostalgia. Clearly he didn’t have the signing him anymore. Another bad move by the owner.

There was so much wrong with that hire starting with the ‘ sham ‘ search and interview process. The fact that Ruff couldn’t pick his assts. or maybe he really liked them which is a problem in and of itself. Terry was obviously deep into that whole thing which is his perogative but a major problem in my o.p. Anyhow here we are and how can this ownership and management fix things? They’ve never shown any competence in having an ability in fixing things before. It ain’t happening with this group in charge.

Tage bringing some real put me on team USA energy.

They looked good in the first, okay in the second, and by the third looked like they had given up.

Ivar Stenberg, McKenna, Nikita Klepov 

Maybe Belchetz but I'm not there yet with him. Roobroeck same.

Did Tage wear as many necklaces when he wasn’t a premier goal scorer?
