Anyone have knowledge on Kris Letang’s downfall? Could we get him cheaply to be a vet RHD for Power to learn from?

I just don’t get why Cozens doesn’t do that more

Tuch yeah

Just feels like this city is cursed to suffer. Everything is a monkey’s paw here. Get a new owner who wants to spend money, well he’s an idiot of a owner and gets cheap after failing for a decade. Get a franchise QB, well you’ll be blocked by an even better QB who you actually traded them in essence. Acquire good players, well they either get hurt or fall off a cliff. It just gets old

I’m so ***** tired of our team automatically being called for every call whereas our opponents get mulligans at every turn

Add a bad bounce to the list of follies

These refs are giving Montreal the game

Do everything rather well, who cares any mistake we make is doom

As per always, the Sabres are screwed by both themselves and the league as a whole. We all know their shortcomings but the league itself changed thus dooming us. When the Sabres first went into the tank in 2012, we weren't alone in the strategy being used. While we took it far further than most, it was common practice for teams to trade pending UFAs for prospects and picks when they were bad and then in the offseason you could take those prospects and picks and either use them straight up or potentially spin them to another team looking to retool. Effectively you could trade $1 for 4 Quarters at the deadline and then use those 4 Quarters for a different $1 in the offseason if you so desired. Nowadays that no longer works for us at the very least. We can acquire all the money in the world (in assets) but when we go to buy everyone inflates their prices absurdly and/or closes up shop on useful pieces. As such we are trapped in a hold and wait pattern trying to make Hockey Trades because we can't exchange 4 Quarters for $1 any more and are stuck offering $1 for $1 type trades.

Why would we care what they want; we have zero reason to trade Tuch. Hell he’s one of the few bright spots this team still has.

The scariest part of 7D is that Byram looks scatterbrained when with anyone aside Dahlin. Makes me concerned about Byram’s value

These refs are a complete joke the team isn’t much better

I liked seeing good Cozens in the 3rd last game. Bad Cozens returned:(

It feels like half the team views passing as beneath them and have to spin or deke before any pass can be taken

How ***** lucky can you get

Tuch with a nice play, Peterka opts for the pass instead of a shot which made me want to throw something

We have no puck luck either

They just did what McLeod did to Cozens, no call 6 men on the ice and it hits their guy going to the bench, no call Asinine

More absurd luck

No puck luck, refs giving bogus calls and the Sabres start spiraling

Obviously the Federal Department of Sociable Neighbors, Doors and Objects

In the 3rd period, we all saw the Cozens from 2 years ago that skated hard, hit some people and effectively was around the puck constantly.

Great 3rd period; the Alamo mode near the end was scary but Dahlin nearly scoring off the deflection backhand that trickled wide without being an icing

Analytics gurus; how is Zach Whitecloud?

Minus the 13 game losing streak they are 23-17-2 Which is slightly above .500 or slightly above. But for a 2nd year in a row they have done this same song and dance of having a team that hovers around .500; last year we couldn't string wins together to save our life. This year we torpedoed our season by losing 13 consecutively.
