It's difficult to develop that 'hate-to-lose' culture when ownership/management keeps moving the guys who truly hate to lose out of the organization. O'Reilly hated to lose, put that feeling into words, and was traded. Eichel and Reinhart were sick of losing and didn't want to go through another rebuild. Adams claimed that they didn't want to be here, traded them and then proceeded with his idiotic and doomed rebuild. It's difficult to build that hate-to-lose culture when you label those players who voice dissatisfaction with losing as dissenters to the cause, and then move them out of the organization.

It's all that.

"The Winter Classic, now with 100% more wind confusion!"

Not if you wanted him fired 3 seasons ago.

The Sabres new goal song.

Did the Sabres learn nothing from Jay McKee?

Dahlin knocked a guy down. He played well. Doan looked good. Lyon played well for 2 and a half periods. Thompson was all right. Zucker had some old man energy. Other than that, nothing but passengers.

If the Sabres want to sign Tuch, they will need to pay an incompetence tax, which is 8 years, 10+ million aav.

Why? So they can lose 4-1?

Dahlin is really an excellent player.

Spending most of his time talking about "expansion" city candidates.

He epitomizes the 'just happy to be here' vibe of the Adams era.

He can easily get 5 years at $10M from better teams in FA.

An even match! LET'S GO!

At this point, we're more like a village than a hood. And every village has an idiot (hey there Kevyn!).
