Forecheck

The Pens have done a lot of laughing the last two nights. As they should.

Dan and Rob making injury excuses for the Sabres. Lol. So stupid

The only emotion any of us should care about is the the Pegulas are pissed and also hopefully embarrassed. It’s the only way any meaningful change “might” happen at the top in how this organization is run. But if it hasn’t happened after 10 years of suck I don’t think this year makes any difference to the owners either.

Just fast forward to mid May so we can be done with this season and hopefully have a new coach and new direction.

Yep, that’s when Hasek left. After blowing a 3-2 lead in games vs Pittsburgh. Other than 05-06 and 06-07, it’s been hockey hell here for 20 years and counting.

Peel was scheduled to retire just one month from today as well. (April 24th). I wonder if quietly the league will let him still earn his pension since he was so close or if that’s all out the door now.

At least it’s dead on about the clueless owner. I’m hoping the more bad press Pegula gets the more likely it is that he realizes HE is the problem and he actually hires someone to take control and he gets out of the way for good.

Agreed. But I bet that’s what we end up with when the dust settles.

Impossible to overcome bad players.

Everything about Dunleavy is meh. Although his play by play goes perfectly with this team.

Wake up wake up, you’re dreaming. Lol. I would love all of this to happen and it’s probably the best case scenario for the Sabres. That being said, it will never ever happen. Because Sabres. We aren’t allowed to have nice things. 10 years and counting.

I’d rather the Sabres season just ended now anyways. What’s left? Going 2-22-4 the rest of the way. Cause that’s what’s coming. At best. Let’s flush this season down the drain where it belongs and start over in October with a new coach and some turnover in players. KA can concentrate on the future where his attention firmly belongs and not on the present. And yes, this is all just wishful thinking, not based in reality for those that will get upset at this post.

They all know Granato is not here long term anyways. I highly doubt any of them are going to “skate through a wall” for him. Nothing will change until there is a REAL head coach in town. And even then...who knows?

I’ve seen 10 year olds with more scoring acumen than the Sabres have. I’m NOT kidding. Very very few of these guys have ANY scoring touch at all. And IF they had it years ago, it’s long gone now.

I’ll be shocked if they do that or are even capable of that.

The anthem singer had NO idea how to sing the Canadian anthem correctly.

I agree with the first half of this. We don’t know yet about the second part. Seems like we will find out over the next year or two.

Terry can barely put together two consecutive coherent sentences. So I wouldn’t hold my breath on this happening. He has been getting phased out on the speaking chores and Kim is steadily and increasingly taking over in this area the past few years. If we hear from anyone, it’s more likely her.

Sadly it could be Lindy tomorrow night. But doubtful.

As he should be. He is a god awful terrible hockey coach and it is an embarrassment to our fans and city that he in any way represents us. Yeah I had no clue that penalties could be reviewed. First time I’ve seen it in a Sabres game. I guess this rule came about due to the Vegas/San Jose playoff series a few years back.

The season isn’t even halfway over yet. God help us 🤦‍♂️

I asked this exact question on here back after loss 3. I asked would it take 6, 10, 15?? No one really answered up. I was being dead serious back then. I knew this owner wouldn’t make a move no matter how bad it got. I bet we can lose 20 straight and they still won’t make a move. Do the Pegulas honestly not know they are the laughingstock of the NHL?

Exactly. Double masked, bubble wrapped and head first into the sun.

He is beyond unlistenable when he babbles on like the moron that he is. He is so woefully out of his depth as an NHL head coach. How in the world were the Pegulas ever stupid enough to get hoodwinked by this clown?

JJ with another game of .840-.850 save %. This is the norm for him and Hutton. Safe to say this franchise needs 1-2 decent goaltenders in here by next year to help out Ullmark.
