I-90 W

Apparently it’s still not rock bottom if it keeps happening.

Honestly I just want TP to sell the team but I know that’s not happening.

I don’t think we were ever gonna reach the playoffs with the team, the improvement after Ralph was fired doesn’t fool me for one minute.

We have to hit rock bottom at some point. And I think we just did. Logically that could be a good thing as incrementalism wasn’t going to help us in the long run. We need a complete overhaul and hopefully this will force the Pegula’s into making systematic changes with hockey operations, drafting, coaching, everything really.

In a weird way it’s almost comforting that huge changes are finally coming, kind of like how back during the tank at least there was a goal/ end in sight (as wrong as that was). This might be the most entertaining off season we’ve seen in a long time.

I think they’ll just be silent, KA has work to do. And I for one hope he goes out west, don’t need to see him lighting it up against us all season. But whatever gives us the best return.

Can you imagine his first game in Keybank against us? Hopefully it’s not in the same division.

Can a team really block a surgery, how is that even possible?

How is WGR gonna go talk about the Bills now, can we hold up on that? Lol

This will be a huge distraction, we need to get maximum return but the quicker they can trade him the better for the locker room now. I bet Sam feels the same. Jack keeps inferring others feel the same.

That’s also fair.

Yes it is a direct quote.

Man my heart goes out to all the young fans who are gonna have to hear this and deal with it. My 13 yo is not going to be happy.

Sounds about right.

“There’s been a few conversations but mostly about injuries”. He’s so gone. “My number one goal is Jack Eichel”.

Even though I don’t blame Jack I’m still upset with him and I’m not sure if I can logically articulate why. Think a lot of it has to do with him being captain.

Noticed that too, he’s Canadian now apparently.

Jack is inferring that everyone else wants to be traded too, ouch. This was when asked about if he asked for a trade.Yikes.

Wow, Jack clearly wants out. He’s not even trying to hide it anymore based on his response when asked.

What channel is it on?! I don’t see it on MSG or MSG plus.

Wouldn’t blame him at all for leaving, Jack either. We’re not going to get anywhere with this core anyway, might just be the best thing for everyone.

Are they going to cut into this tennis game on MSG?

Kind of surprised that you seem to think this group is any better, this is one of the biggest echo chambers I’ve ever come across online. But to each their own.

My favorite all time player. Being from the capital region, this is the player that made me become a Sabres fan rather than a rags fan.

No worries. My take is that the tank instilled a losing atmosphere that the organization really never shook. Obviously there are other, much more tangible reasons for our demise such as bad drafting and poor hiring decisions. But as Joe Torre says “players have heartbeats”.
