Weave

And they need to do this as play around the league gets tighter and more intense. This team has shown season after season that it can put up good performances for short stretches when there is no pressure, but never seems to rise up in pressure situations. Its the hallmark of a skilled, but not very good team (if that makes sense). Show me. I’m from Missouri.

Thank you. Every season there are a handful of fans that want to minimize the level of effort they need to be back in the playoffs. “It’s only 6 points”, like they can leapfrog a bunch of teams next week. They’ve already dug a hole that would require elite level play to get out of.

Apparently winning in garbage time can happen before Christmas

Quite the rollercoaster ride in this thread.

Maybe it keeps expectations low.

I voted palm trees and taxes. Only because it signaled to me that he was a man of excuses and a piss poor leader. Yhe statement wasnt the worst move he made, in the sense of its direct effect on the ice, but it was the worst overall because it illuminated just how unqualified he was for the position.

And the fans should never have accepted it.

Darcy (and Lindy) were sacrificial lambs. The team was struggling to make the playoffs. The core was deemed fatally flawed. The prospect cupboard was bare. The fans were almost as angry as they are now. Those two were let go to appease the fanbase. Period.

Or maybe he has no family life he wants to pursue and he just wants to play hockey at the highest level he can dominate. There is no way we can accurately predict his motivations.

Any combination of 2 of the current 3 goalies is an expectation of the same as this year. There has to be a better solution for next season. Period.

Man, Rob is obviously expected to be a spokesperson for the organization. He struggled to say any bad thing atoll.

Is it not cool that I voted the same player for all 3 questions?

I suppose we didn’t respond, did we?

What happened to Ellis? Did I hear possible concussion?

If I felt any emotion at all for this team currently, this would be highly depressing.

Clutch and Corrosion of Conformity are touring together in 2026. They are playing Kodak Center in Rochester in April. I just grabbed 2 tix. Two bands I really enjoy. I’ve seen Clutch twice. Great live show. I haven’t seen Corrosion live yet. Really looking forward to it.

He may never be?

If there is a more colorful Sabrespace poster, I’ve never read them. And garlic powder is perfectly suitable in a dry spice blend.

Thats the one. The sub .500 section in the beginning, everyone was still in love with the team and was hopeful. The 16 yr falloff is still trending down. Yeah, we are at a lowest point. Unfortunately, LTE and Thorny are also correct as the next game is going to be another lowest point, and the next one after that.

Where the hell is that graph of the historical win percentage of the Sabres when I need it?

Are they really?

?? Wilson was a highly touted 1st round pick. His ceiling was always a 1st line player.

Why would Terry prioritize winning? We have fans on this site that love to justify not winning to get a better pick starting right about this time every season. He can save some money while keeping a core group interested. And no pressure. He’s got to be happy as a clam how this whole thing is working out.

I think the fanbase has forgotten what truly special players on truly special teams feel like. Missing these guys is like celebrating Phil Housley’s number in the rafters.

Well, I am sure not missing not watching any of them right now.
