Ruff and Adams should both be gone before the Christmas hiatus. I’d do it the minute they get back from this road trip that will surely secure yet another lost season in cement.  Bring in Jarmo with Torts as HC. Would brighten a pretty dark and dull holiday time in Sabreland and at least give possible hope for 2026 and beyond. 

Give me DeBoer over Torts.

Let’s see…….

Fail to clear the zone…..check

Crash our goalie and no real response…..check

Horrid passing……check

Lazy play leading to penalties…..check

bad defense……check

bad goaltending…..check

general hockey suckery…..check

drinking heavily as game progresses…..check

I don’t think anyone on the Sabres worked up a sweet.  That was boring and lifeless and bad. 

They quit again.   I trimmed the tree last week, and the hockey team is done this week.  Ok, at least Allen and the Bills are competing.  

[Scottysabres]

I’ll take a cardboard cut out of Playfair behind the bench at this point

Torts?  
 

Bring in Jarmo and DeBoer.  Right after this road trip.

Yeah I’d agree with that. But Jarmo has the history with Torts. Watching Torts make these boys cry daily would be worth the price of admission to me.

I’d take either at this point.

It’s actually eye opening listening to the Calgary broadcast. They are no nonsense and forthright. They were ripping the Sabres the whole first period. Good honest assessment vs Marty and Duffer.

If they lose every game on this roadie, both should be fired immediately and shouldn’t even get the courtesy of the flight home from Seattle. Make ‘em both fly back to Buffalo commercial.  If they lose to Vancouver, they would be competing for DFL with Nashville.

I said it was fine. But in comparison to the Sabres broadcast, yes.

(Sometimes not the Boston broadcast.)

[OverPowerYou]

If anyone wants to listen to great play by play with a sense of humor and wit, listen to the Colorado Avalanche radio. Top Notch

Great save UPL

[DarthEbriate]

Quinn -- why drop pass almost out of the offensive zone instead of shooting? It was almost an assist to Farabee.

[PromoTheRobot]

UPL with 1-on-0 save, in case anyone is keeping track.

[Gatorman0519]

“I have no idea what Quinn could possibly be thinking the way he turned the puck over”… Calgary broadcast. 

[Doohickie]

Love Rhett.  Don't want to hear him talk for half a period though.

 

This sucks.

[Pimlach]

More weak team defense.  UPL big save

Did anyone bring up UPL's save percentage?

We saw it. He’s good at those.

I'm not sold Torts wouldn't stroke out about midway through his first period behind the bench with these goofs.

[JoeSchmoe]

Neutered Lindy Ruff is not an effective coach. This team needs old Lindy.

Who do we write to to get rid of these interviews during the game?

The season is on the verge of being over anyway. Torts could put Tage and Dahs in the press box for a night or two.

Yeah, this sucks.
