I’ll put it on in the background while I write probably on mute so I don’t have to hear Rob talk about chili dogs or nachos or whatever when we’re down 10 to one

I will out of morbid curiosity.

Absolutely pathetic....

Just made me think....Terry sells the team and they move to KC and wear those awesome Jerseys of Scouts.   Who remains a fan?  
Honestly it's sad that having Terry sell the team and it moving , may be our only hope in seeing it ever turn around

I honestly don’t even know where they go from here. The organization is in worse shape than an expansion team. Very little talent and not much in the minors either. Need 2-3 top 6 forwards and an elite center plus a franchise goalie. 

With as many picks as they have had this is unacceptable and now you know why most of these scouts need to be fired

I would absolutely trade him. I would trade anybody on this team right now.

But again the first step is the fire Kevyn or it doesn’t matter

Kevyn should have been fired after the “palm trees and taxes” rant. There are so many positives to reflect on the Sabres fanbase and location, and all we got were excuses. The Sabres leadership is rotten.

Well, in fairness, except for Helenius and a couple of D, ALL the really good Amerks are up in Buffalo with Benson, Zucker, Dahlin, Kulich, & Danforth all currently out.  (Note, did not include Norris on that list.  At this point there's no reason to ever expect him to play more than 40-50 games in any particular season.)

MacKinnon extends his point lead tomorrow night with at least a 3 point game.

I'll watch football and look at the score on my phone from time to time.   
I expect them to be down by 4 in the first period.

The fish rots from the head down....It starts with Terry

Although this is true these players still have absolutely no heart, no shots the last 13 minutes down by 2 goals is unacceptable, we have a coach that holds nobody accountable, Power out there never getting pucks out, never doing much of anything and he plays every single game. Our so called top players looked like they didn't even belong out there with a struggling (Against every team but the Sabres) Utah team.

I keep forgetting him, too, and having to update my comments pre-/post-posting. I truly hope he returns this season and goes 55 points in 55 games and Sheevyn is a damn genius for acquiring him. But the reality is, he's 2C when he's healthy and he's not been healthy in 6 years. And that was this GM's choice as the 1C going into a "lame duck coach/GM saying it's all about the playoffs" season. Fools.

Unfortunately there is some truth in that comment but he ***** sucks as a GM but Pegula needs to be blamed for this as well. 

[Broken Ankles]

Your only two goals are from an AHL call up, who probably wasn’t expected to play one game if injuries weren’t rampant.  You need to score goals boys. Unacceptable effort.  
Bryson and Kesselring were a  shite pair playing 11 and 12 minutes respectively, each minus 2.  Krebs line was horrendous.  Also minus 2, with Dunne -3.  And Beck was hardly noticeable.  If you can’t score, you must bring energy and prevent scoring.  
upside- if they lose all these games on the road, there is a chance Adams or Ruff (hopefully both) are  gone by the time they play EDM on 17th.

A total non-factor. I don’t think he will age well and I’m headed to the “What does the Tuch trade look like?” right now. 

Tuch would be an unreal 2nd/3rd liner and elite PK anchor on a more talented team. He does so many sneaky good things with his active stick and awareness, but isn't a huge driver on his own. His line with McLeod and Doan looked really solid to me earlier, but that leaves poor, drive-by TT exposed and vulnerable without a healthy Benson. 

Was cool a couple times to watch Quinn force the action and set up his younger linemate. For whatever that's worth. 

[SabresBillsFan]

At this point it looks like every team that started their rebuild later than us is already ahead of the Sabres

In the first period.

Unless the Avs completely take the night off. But I don't think they will. I think they will go into stat-padding fun pond hockey mode. They'll happily give up 5 if it means they can get 10. But against this Sabres offense they're not giving up more than 3.

Goal differential tomorrow....  -5?

Nah. I pretty much nailed part 1 of my outlook. Just missed the score by 1. Part 2 is Buffalo beating the Avs. #bookit

[Goldseatsaud]

Didn’t watch but was surprised they blew it. My opinion is that current roster is not listening to Ruff or they don’t like his system.

Again, this team will be far out of it by the end of November and even though all of us want Adams and all the coaches gone. I have a feeling they will promote another GM from within which I hope not and they will probably move Appert to head coach.

Ruff is washed up, more reason why the Devils let him go.

This is great way to fill the arena. Lol

Sam Lafferty just scored a highlight goal against the Devils

Fire Adams and let JK make the decisions Ruff will know he is gone after this season but I trust him to give an Honest assessment of the players.   let them figure out who is worth keeping.  
 

maybe there is a coach out there that helps improves Power.  Remember the mess Dahlin was prior to DG? though my guess he isn't a JK guy.  He did say it's easier to tame a tiger than to paint stripes on a mouse"
 

 

[PerreaultForever]

The loser body language is back. The hung head acceptance.  The lack of fight. Quitting on puck battles. The losing culture is setting back in (if it ever left). 

When that happens to most teams they usually fire their coach. Sabres? They probably just listen to Rob Ray nonsense.
