Whoops. Spoke too soon. Guess Skinner couldn’t have done that, and stays on the 4th line now.

I keep seeing Vesey on a line with Eichel and Samson. Seems to be working out well.

Does Jumbo Joe have that beer virus everyone is talking about?

The crowd isn’t dead. I heard them booing on the broadcast at the end of both periods.

So, there’s a protest coming up, you say? ?

Maybe. All the star power in the TBL - Pens game, and they’re showing this instead. Pierre must be really sad about it.

Surprised NBC wanted to feature this Toilet Bowl of a game tonight.

A $9 million player skating with two AHLers. Incredible. And don’t give me this “earn your minutes” crap either, because it doesn’t explain why Vesey is on the top line.

If you’re talking about 90’s day at KBC, we didn’t play the Canucks, we played the Panthers. Otherwise, not sure why you think we should’ve wore goatheads on the road in Vancouver...

I like how there’s a link to SabreSpace in that Wysh article.

You’d think the team could prevent staff infections, but NOPE

Whoever posted that we only need a 2C and 3C is way off. We need a 2C, another 2nd line winger, and an entire 3rd line. MOJO would be great on a 3rd line, so maybe we need 4 players. Better pray JBott has an actual plan for this offseason, and stop trying to rush Cozens like we’ve done with so many other shiny new toys in the past.

So, some genius somewhere thought some little kid was gonna top Okposos performance of 11 names. This is classic failure. All over letting a little kid stand there in the tunnel while the players come out? Something that they would probably cherish and remember forever. Disgusting.

Did this really happen?

Don’t need to read any game summaries from the media, don’t need to hear any post game interviews, don’t need to read any posts on here. This gif tells it all.

I don’t blame him. And what he’s saying is actually much calmer and more rational than what a lot of the other fan base feels, just for perspective. I love Sabres hockey. I’ve seen almost every game since 1998. Going to college during the day and working nights, taping the games and watching them late at night - looking forward to it. Then juggling 3 jobs, taping games - looking forward to going home and seeing what happened. Working all day now, then getting excited knowing it’s a Sabres night. The games have always been something I’ve looked forward to in my life, but my excitement is really starting to drain out of me. 9 years of crap in a row, but like the caller said, it’s more than just the product on the ice. It’s deeper than that. The handful of games that I’ve attended this year - I didn’t get any feeling that the people in charge cared about the experience or the details. This started way back with the “Fan Fest” that was completely disorganized, and it’s just kept going on.

That really is an amazing booking photo though.

How about no nickname, just a symbol?

It’s almost impossible to have an opinion without knowing what’s going on in his head. Did he plan on sitting on his hands all season and not plan on pushing for the playoffs? Did he try to make trades but they weren’t there? Were good trades there, but he was scared? No way to know. We can only speculate. Beefing up on way too many defensemen to just not make any moves was pretty suspect, though.

I’ll admit, I was fooled. I knew we didn’t have enough talent, but some part of me thought that Ralph would motivate them enough to be competitive this season, until JBott made a couple moves before New Years to make us a for sure playoff team. Now, I’m almost convinced that nobody above the players skating on the ice knows what the hell they are doing. The PP sucks, the PK sucks, Hutton got worse, the Mitts and Tage debacle, Ralph pulling goalies at odd times / skating 11 forwards / refusing to tinker with Jack-Sam-Jeff, JBott going into the season with 78 NHL capable forwards and refusing to make any moves...the list goes on. The shoddy in game entertainment and not truly seeming to care about the “Golden season.” The only thing that anyone got right this season was the jerseys - and they didn’t even have enough to sell to the fans. Also, it’s a minor miracle that Jack has exploded into a superstar this season, despite never having a solid coaching mentor on this team. Imagine how much even greater he would be with an actual x’s and o’s Coach all this time. This team, although I do love them, it’s a complete and inexcusable embarrassment.

No, Wheelchair Jimmy actually Started From The Bottom Now He’s Here.

How many goals were you expecting him to score when he’s skating on a line with Pegleg Pete and Wheelchair Jimmy?

Happy 50th season everyone!

Are the “intangibles” the same thing as “sandpaper?”

Didn’t Sam “fight” someone this season when no one else would?
