  1. This is the most entertained I’ve been in a decade. Half the team are jags so you take what you get. I just feel the one position on the team where you can really help reward the hard work and comittment is with decent goaltending. I’m not saying go off of the plan but we’ve seen that even with what the pundits are saying is the worst team in the league we are capable of stringing some wins together. With decent goaltending who knows ? Last night was like a gutpunch with 11 seconds to go. I suppose if the idea is to lose but collect draft capital then we’re doing fine. But I believe the goal should be to always win. Every game. Otherwise as others have said this is nothing more than a tank.
  2. Woo. Thank god for that. The fact remains we have ***** goaltending . To be fair Anderson has been pretty good as our #1 when he’s been available. Toker has been ok in a backup roll. But KA could have done better to shore up the net. Like the rest of Buffalo Sabres hockey our goaltending has been average at best. Maybe thats the most we should expect as Sabres fans.
  3. We’re still paying Cody Hodgson. Matt Moulson. I’m not sure. There could be more. But goaltending is one of if not the most important positions. We go with a guy that was retired and a couple minor league guys as your second and third string. I am bought in on the plan. But I think you make certain exceptions if it moves you in the right direction.
  4. If I was only the gm. But I’m not. Fortunately for me KA will live or die on that sword. I agree with much if not all that KA is doing but the lack of capable goaltending in my mind is one of his biggest failures. With goaltending we win that game last night. Those 2 points towards a playoff spot contribute more growth for the young guys than the usual soundbite of we’ll learn from our mistakes and move on.
  5. How is it wasting picks or assets when goaltending is likely the most important gap to fill when building a team? We traded away most of our high end guys and KA refused to bring in a goaltender. He brought a guy out of retirement.
  6. Thats my point. This team is cheap. We lost Ulmark because we are cheap. Ownership and management could care less if we win so people will not pay to see the game. Why bother ?
  7. O.k. Whatevs. Let me ask you this. What would it cost to have had a decent goaltender in net last night against the Leafs ? This dollarama team would have beat that team thats stretched up against the cap. Instead we go with a third string goalie.
  8. Could the lack of people in the seats be related to the fact that we had to trade with the islanders for a player that doesn’t play anymore to stay above the cap floor ? Its pathetic. Sure the game is exciting for us we’re Sabres fans. Granato has them playing an exciting style and they work hard every night but the owners are skinflints that aren’t even willing to ice a team at or equal to the salary cap of the teams they are playing. We’re the dollar store equivalent to our opponents on most nights. That and they’ve burned us before and theres an apathy from ten years of running this team and the fans into the ground. Call it karma for historically bad ownership. This has to be part of the conversation when you ask why the empty seats.
  9. Can’t win em all but that was a heartbreaker.
  10. I’m pretty sure Triumph_communes response was to your statement that you didn’t understand Canadas need to test the vaccinated for covid.
  11. That was a team effort and its nice to get rewarded.
  12. Up against the juggernaut tonight. Just don’t see them hanging in with McD and crew. Good luck fellas your going to need it.
  13. Listened to the one with Tuch and really enjoyed it. Thanks
  14. This comparison was never fair to Eichel. He always was the consolation prize. He’s a damn fine player in his own right but he’s no McDavid.
  15. I like the cut of your jibberish
  16. If he was an abusive sob then good riddance Bob Murray. No good reason to be a prick to people. How you treat people below your station in life is a good measure of a mans character. Hope he gets the help he needs.
  17. If he could hit the net that would be good. He’s improved his game and does seem to fit at centre but like others have said on a good team lower in the pecking order.
  18. He’d rather be in Siberia than be a Sabre.😳
  19. Looking for positives here guys...guys?
  20. Wilson gonna Wilson Dahlin tonight-the Bee Gees
  21. Why not we need those high character guys.
  22. Good take. Personally I sometimes forget the path KA has set us on and expect better from a group that hasn’t got the pieces. I’ve got to look for the positives and enjoy the process.
  23. Yeah not sure what to believe anymore. I’d rather keep the picture I have in my head of Jack on the ice.
