Freezing temperatures so I am staying indoors, I guess I will watch. I will lose interest if I get a glimpse of that smirk on Montour’s face, knowing what a lousy organization the Sabres are. Come on Sabres, just f***ing entertain me.

Give him two, Mule and Cozens haven’t earned theirs.

If KA sticks around long enough he will claim that even draft picks don’t want to go to Buffalo, limiting his team building plan.

In this era it seems rare that goalies have any year after year consistency. He may regain better form next year but that doesn’t help this season and leaves a big question mark coming into October. I want Levi to be ready to challenge for #1 so that the tandem can get on some hot streaks and win some games. Ride the hot hand. The current set up is in trouble if UPL falters. UPL bounce back and Levi emergence would be nice.

There are numerous reasons that add up to creating a losing team. All of the key reasons are listed in the poll. Some play a bigger part while others compound things. I have come to the conclusion that the only common denominator for all 14 years of hell is TP. His hiring has been terrible, which sets the table for bad decisions at all levels and leads to poor performance. The available cap space has not been utilized for many years and we know who controls the purse strings. The constant losing has worn on everyone and there doesn’t seem to be any leadership showing the way with a plan and how it will work. Draft and hope is not a strategy.

Quinn’s goal was a sniper’s goal. He can still shoot. Dahlin with some nice passes.

So you’re saying there is a chance….

Good for him. Their media has pushed him as a Selke candidate since it is often a consolation prize for guys who won’t win a Hart.

I am so disappointed in this season that I don’t want to even think about the draft too much, but it is an annual ritual for this team to have a good lottery pick. I love Schaefer but I kind of hope he is gone when the Sabres pick because he is a LHD. If he is BPA at their pick then there needs to be a trade in place for Power/Byram to get immediate help at another position.

You nailed the mental makeup of this team. I find this leads to a lack of urgency, when that is required. I find Power to be the biggest culprit of this mindset. There can be 20 seconds left in the PP and he slowly dawdles up the ice killing precious seconds off the clock. A similar thing happens when the goalie is pulled. Zucker and Benson hate to lose and they need more of that, I think Dahlin has the fire in his belly, he just gets frustrated and loses his cool or makes poor decisions.

My parents and my wife just love onions. I am not fussy and can eat just about anything but large pieces of uncooked onions cause me to pick at my food.

At least Walmart is in the big leagues, this is like Dollarama or whatever the USA equivalent is.

I was joking. As if he will open the wallet, especially to go from a ‘29 to a ‘28 2nd rounder.

TP will open the wallet, retain 25%, and turn it into a 2028 2nd rounder.

Losing Schaefer hurts the offensive output from the D, although Bonk & Price scored last night. They look like a bunch of Muel clones to me. Dickinson has some upside though. There is always second guessing because of the depth of talent available. I am not a fan of Parekh, he is a riverboat gambler who reminds me of Brandt Clarke (thinks he should have the puck at all times). Parekh did win a Memorial Cup last year so I guess he can be a part of a winning team. I was p*seed at the shootout vs Latvia. All of this offensive talent and they go 0/8. That was their TikTok celly moment and they all choked.

Watching Canada play their first 3 games at the WJHC gives me a vibe of 23 kids who dream of being Canada’s next hero and social media darling. These guys seem to think their draft pedigree will win them games so they spend more time thinking about their goal celly moves than how to actually score. Their team play is terrible, they try to do it all themselves. It hasn’t clicked in that teams with a lot less talent are out working them and playing for their flag, not how many likes a dirty dangle will get. Worst culprit is future Leaf Easton Cowan. McKenna has stood out to me as the only guy who looks to set up a teammate first.

I hope this kid gets plenty more, to watch this again and again, yeah baby!

TP doesn’t care about winning, why should I.

Imo I don’t see where he slots in to the lineup. They are already young and need more experienced guys like Zucker. I hope a big year in the A makes him a valuable trade chip.

The taps on the head need to be a lot harder.

I’m keeping my posts to a minimum because I have nothing good to say and all of the bad stuff is getting repeated over and over. My fandom has never been tested like this in 50 years.

Hockey has been a huge part of my life, and the Sabres have been my team since 1975. I am sorry to say I am losing my love of the game and I don’t have the energy to invest in another team. I am sad to even be typing this. Hanging on to the ledge by my fingernails. Fandom is hard as only 1 of 32 teams wins, but this has gotten out of hand. Show me that someone cares in this f*****g organization.

He’s digging foxholes and fixing bayonets.
