In our defense, after the fatigue and the "suffering" of Darcy we would have welcomed just about anyone with open arms. I'm still not ready to put the blame of DB on him but I'm getting to the point where I don't care either way. I want a GM who will fight tooth and nail for his own guy, rather than another company man who will let the owner run unopposed and enjoy the job security.

Media a-hole: So, Mr. Murray, how many words are you going to say when you announce Buffalo's top 10 pick this season? TM: Probably 4 again. Gotta leave some space to be able to get under it for the following draft when we get another top 5 pick. Everyone: swoon!

I'm still gonna die on the hill thinking that TM just doesn't have the authority to fire DB so his comments are basically a hallow endorsement until somebody like old f*** face convinces Terry that DB needs to be fired or they can kiss the waiting list for STHers good bye.

The old 3 nickles for quarter bit, huh? I think any team with a surplus of up and coming defenders is going to want a hell of a lot better players than either of those guys and they'd be able to get a better offer from someone else. Last I looked there were maybe 3 or 4 teams that were stocked up on defense (Anaheim, Minnesota, and Nashville) and a bunch of teams looking to upgrade their defense (everyone else). If we want a young stud defenseman to add to the stable start with Nylander and add.

I like it, although Russ' nickname needs work. Russ "ticket booth" Brandon The snake oil salesman Marketer in Chief Russ "Con Artist" Brandon or just plain old F*** face

I wouldn't be interested in trading for his rights but I'd be happy if we signed him once he reached free agency.

Who are we trading either of these guys for in this hypothetical situation? Are we swapping for some other team's 4th liners or possibly some prospects who have a chance to be 3rd or 4th liners or bottom pair guys? I don't see any team giving up anything of actual value for either of them.

We'll keep Girgensons just for that sweet Latvian tourism money. The Harbor Center Hotel isn't gonna fill itself. Especially with DB running the team.

That's the fault of our idiot coach, not Murray. Just look at the lineups for the last few games of the season. McCabe and Kulikov were healthy and playing and our window licking coach decided to play Gorges on the top pairing with Ristolainen (the guy who gets huge minutes) rather than putting Gorges on the third pair. Gorges belongs on the third pair and he'd probably be ok there for the remainder of his contract (he and McCabe would sort of balance out since he is probably underpaid by around the same amount we overpay Gorges).

You keep saying the contracts were fine when he acquired them like that absolves Murray but that's a big part of his job to anticipate stuff like that. When you acquire an older vet with term or you give a veteran player a contract you have to anticipate a drop in their production as they age. Everyone loves the Okposo pick up now because he's still in his prime but what happens 3 or 4 years from now when his production slips and he still has another few years on his deal? Murray will either need to find a way to dump him to a team with extra space or he'll have to find production from a bargain player in order to offset it. LA is a great example and Chicago will be one soon. They are paying through their teeth for aging vets who won't produce and it's coming soon for Chicago. The difference for those teams is they at least have Championship to show for it. If Murray isn't careful/methodical with his contracts he can put us in a similar hole with nothing to show for it. We got great production relative to contract out of Eichel, Reinhart, and McCabe. That ends for Eichel and Reinhart after next season though and we'll have a few more years getting value out of McCabe.

Yes, it could definitely be worse. Imagine DB (I still refuse to learn how to spell his stupid name out of principle) having a longer tenure behind the bench than Lindy Ruff did. It makes my skin crawl just imagining it and it will hopefully never happen but that would definitely be worse.

You guys are nuts. The color scheme takes a back seat to that putrid logo. The slug is and probably always will be the worst design they've ever come up with. Even the turdburger was better by the simple fact that it didn't have that disgusting slug on it.

This season sucked. Next season will be worse.

Seeing it laid out like this is definitely frustrating. If Vegas doesn't take any of these clowns we need to put them on waivers and send at least 2 of them down to Rochester. I know it only saves about $1 million against the cap and that basically gets eaten up by whomever the replacement call up is but you need to do it just on principle, plus the hope that somebody like Vegas or a cap floor team claims them (at least Ennis and Moulson both have cap hits that are higher than salary owed for the remainder of their deals).

#OneBuffalo Time for some ticket price increases.

No need to decide between the two. We should keep both because they are both young and cheap and provide depth and (most importantly) because we can't get anything of actual value for either of them. If you really want to focus on getting rid of players, we should be hoping that we can somehow con a team into taking Moulson or Gorges. Cap space will officially be at a premium once the new contracts for Eichel and Reinhart kick in for 2018-2019. At that point it'll be good to have cheap depth options.

You were probably one of those people who was ok with those fugly slug uniforms just because it brought back the blue and gold colors, huh? It's ok. You can admit it. We'll only judge you a little bit.

It isn't just black people. I'm white and I was happy to see him get acquitted. Anyone who runs for 2,000 yards in a Bills uniform should get a couple of get out of jail free cards. I still think Starburst missed out on a prime advertising opportunity. They could've had him running around like in the old Hertz commercials, running to escape a crashing wave on the beach or something, then he just looks over at the camera and says the Juice is Loose then winks and run off. Real classy like.

I'm with shim, ha ha! Congrats Josie!

I want Reinhart to get the C just as an F you to DB. Give whoever else whatever else. It doesn't matter.

Some stuff doesn't even have to cost a lot of money though. How about a dunk tank for DB? I'll personally pay for the piranha's to go inside provided someone else agrees to knick his foot with something sharp so there will be blood in the water. Right now I am not entertained. If I could witness that though, I would be. I'd also like the same treatment for Russ Brandon.

Only one way to find out. The list evaporating into nothing would definitely send the message that the fans have a breaking point though. No more automatic price increases and I imagine they'll really be in a scramble to earn some playoff revenue.

Gotta love how the reward for laying out all that coin on Season Tickets is the opportunity to give them even more money. I imagine once the waiting list evaporates they'll start to value their STHs more. At this point they are taking you all for granted due to the ease of replacing you with someone on the waiting list.

Got an email a couple of hours ago from the Sabres/One Buffalo telling me to tune in to MSG on April 8th and 9th for a chance to win great prizes! Pretty simple instructions: 1. Download the One Buffalo app (of course) 2. Click on the Fan Goes Digital tile (which I couldn't find anywhere within the app) 3. Fill Out Registration form (impossible if you can't find the tile) Anyway, since I couldn't locate the tile and the app has no search function I opened the link in the email and it had slightly better instructions to go under tickets (so first you have to choose Key Bank Center which they don't tell you) and from there you finally get the correct tile which is actually called Fan Appreciation and not Fan Goes Digital. Unfortunately at that point I clicked on the tile and it tells me the form is not available yet. I know some may see it as nitpicky but this is just ridiculous. Maybe they should wait on sending out the email until the form they are sending everyone to is actually available. Just another example of good intentions and attempts at PR being completely undermined by incompetence. I'm about to just uninstall the app in part because of their stupidity and in part because it required about a dozen or so permissions on my phone that I'd rather them not have access to. Idiots.

Definitely go with Eichel then. It doesn't matter if 1,000 other people have the same jersey. He'll always prefer his favorite player.
