Forecheck

Yes John Gurtler. He was hard to listen to. Still does Bandits games I believe. Also, how was Mogilny captain over Hawerchuk, in place of LaFontaine? Very strange. I had moved away from Buffalo by that point so I don’t remember the reasoning at the time.

Good advice. Or better yet some shouldn’t say idiotic things period.

Exactly. Same here. Been going since 1975. Don’t you love being lectured by someone who lacks the overall view and experience of being a life long Sabres fan over generations and seeing what good and bad hockey looks like? A lot of us have seen the good bad and ugly of this franchise. And we know when things are in the gutter, such as they’ve been for nine years running now.

Any stars on this team are a direct result of a terrible finish the year before. We haven’t had good management or scouting in years and years. Zero development going on. No diamonds in the rough from later rounds other than Olaffson. This franchise has done just about every conceivable thing wrong and franchise can do the past 9 years. And there are no disputing the facts and results and I’m glad the real fans are getting pissed. The only thing better would be a half empty arena to further embarrass the Pegulas into getting their act straight. But sadly I know that won’t happen here.

We got our all star center and defenseman from finishing DEAD last in the NHL numerous times the past 5 years. Lol Not a very good point to try and bring up when discussing the utter failures of the worst franchise in the league.

Exactly. Fans needing patience and the ill conceived theory that Sabres fans not being “good” fans has anything to do with the current state of this sorry franchise the past 9 years are two topics that get brought up just a little too often around here. Fans have every right to be pissed off and question EVERY single thing this franchise, ownership and management does.

Probably

Sadly I think Dunleavy is the anointed one

Yeah how idiotic

Dan Dunleavy is SOO annoying. And horrible as play by play. God I’ll miss RJ.

Not nearly an important enough reason. Would it affect our playoff position? Lol NOOOOO

This game is a perfect example of a team that knows how to win vs a team that has no clue how to win.

Ralph isn’t smart enough apparently

Same here. My family had season tickets in the 2nd from top row of the Blues from 1978-1983. I remember the scoreboard tvs and the confined feeling you had with the cement ceiling right above you. Especially in those top two rows of the Blues. Good times. Loved the Aud

That’s actually been their problem for years now.

Johansson has ZERO offensive aptitude. He brings nothing offensively

This tale has been repeated far too often on here. RK isn’t a good coach besides supposedly being “motivational” and has no idea how to turn things around. I have no idea why anyone would think if he goes up to the GM seat that he’d magically all of a sudden know how to fix this team. The answer is NOT to move RK upstairs.

Botts gets all the attention. I’d argue wholeheartedly that RK has no clue in turning this team around. He has no answers and this team hasn’t improved at all this year. I’d send Botts and RK both packing. Don’t halfway blow this up. If Pegula is going to do it, do it all the way. New GM, let him bring in HIS coach.

Zero faith he does this at all.

Funny how days ago people wanted Botts to be a buyer at the deadline and there was so much hope instead of what should have been reality that we had no chance and should have started clearing out and being big sellers like most of TSN’s coverage was figuring for us that day. The serious teams have started winning this week. The Sabres are doing what the Sabres do best.

It’s automatic I’d say

They really aren’t. They’re so bad. And have been for 9 years now. They haven’t been able to score for years.

A Robitaille favorite

His speed definitely seems off to me

Cause sadly most Sabres fans have become so accustomed to losing that a good effort makes them feel good for some reason.
