If there is some exaggerated over the top feistiness from the Sabres tonight, I’m going to laugh out loud. It would be so Sabres to get called out and then have Peyton Krebs fight Zack Aston-Reese at puck drop.

And still be in last place in the conference. What difference does it make? They threw the season away losing 13 in a row. Every person who has ever said the word Sabres should have been fired 10 times over. What on Earth are we doing here?

For starters, the Sabres are the Washington Generals of the NHL. Why would any self respecting athlete want to even sniff the Sabres. Clown show, poverty franchise that repeatedly has demonstrated they have no idea or even worse they aren’t even trying to ice a competitive lineup. If I was a player on this roster I’d be snorting my way right outta town and find any team besides this joke of a franchise. Or as some would put it, pull an Eichel.

Byram has stated he wants to be a number 1 Dman. Well that ain’t happening in Buffalo with king Rasmus in the building so…. Also, knowing the salary cap could double and not affect the Sabres plans is about as deflating as not responding when your best center is laying prone on the ice and no one doing anything about it.

They can’t push that toothpaste back into the tube. Yall done ***** up. Gonna have to live with the repercussions.

And to then give up a shorty…

Yes and yes Queue (Cue?) up a big fat Sabres loss

Problem 1 with the NHL’s disciplinary system, a players health status after a filthy hit should not impact the amount of punishment. Noeson meant to injure Tage. To what extent, who effin cares. He tried to take our guy out. Problem 2 that is Sabres specific. If you let the league handle payback, good ***** luck. They aren’t going to get it right, so no one should ever and I mean ever rely on the worst disciplinary system in the world to handle doling out the punishment. This comes from your homies in the ice.

The guys you mentioned aren’t exactly who’d I’d want to seek retribution. A real time on ice response, I can deal with those guys responding. This roster as a whole still lacks the overall aggression a professional sports team requires. Hockey is a physical game, you need players that enjoy that part of the game. If you just draft a dozen shooters, well guess what you forgot? Anyone who plays with any sort of edge. I’m still lamenting the loss of Borgen. A top 4 D that’ll hammer ya and drop the gloves in requisite fashion. Instead we got 10 guys with lethal slippers. To quote the enigmatic Derek Coleman, “Well whoopty damn do”.

This saying is always a sore spot for me. The dumbest bosses I’ve ever had would drop this phrase multiple times a day and I just can’t take it anymore. It’s a misattributed quote from Einstein that was written in some book in the 80’s and has nothing to do with the actual definition of insanity. https://www.reddit.com/r/PetPeeves/s/fw9oLKdP5E

It’s killing the franchise

Someone needs to tell EEE-sock that the beard needs to stay. He looked alien without it. Like almost a different species. A nicely quaffed beard has him looking a little smoldering.

I mean the exact same coach didn’t have to tell Ray, May and Barnaby what to do. Me thinks this lies a heck of a lot more on the players than the coach. Having one or two guys on the bench “wanting to go” isn’t exactly where we need this team. Every player needs to be like that. It’s why you don’t build a roster of figure skaters. You need grown ass men who enjoy taking liberties with other players. Guys that play with snarl and could lay out the opponent at any moment. The Sabres have removed every single player that plays anything like that from their organization.

The fanbase is a tinderbox waiting for anything to light them up. This was the perfect scenario. Team in the midst of another failed season, team identity and toughness have been a question for years. One incident that is normally just shrugged off takes Sabre nation by storm as there hasn’t exactly been anything else to focus on. 💥 Boom.
