It's an issue for my 11 year-old, for whom Eichel IS the Sabres, and whom now will likely move on to another team or stop watching hockey altogether. And while that might seem like a minor gripe in the grand scheme of things, there are a ton of young potential Sabres fans out there who will be losing their only real connection to a crappy product. The brand is on serious life support - the folks who take the time to post on this board are the outliers, not the norm.

Mike Sutton entering Sabrespace be like:

Should we be concerned Gronborg will come with complicated instructions and one of these?

Isn’t he busy filming Season 2 of Beartown?

Lol wut

Pronman: “Owen Power enters the 2021 NHL Draft as the presumed favorite to be the No. 1 pick, with most — albeit not all NHL scouts — saying he would be their top ranked prospect.”

They’ve already done it! Hall-Dahlin Eich-Reino

He does and yes it is odd. He seems like a high floor, relatively low ceiling prospect. Steady Eddie. Really not psyched about the possibility of him being the pick.

Skinner’s contract and the #1 to Seattle for #2?

Obviously not fixing the goalie situation was worse.…. Too soon😁?

Yeah exactly. How is this even a debate? The fourth line center is not his biggest blunder, at all. The goalie situation was a two-ton semi speeding straight at them in the offseason and KA literally did NOTHING about it.

And if they measured "sober viewership," the drop would be even steeper.

I ACCEPT

Dorks.

It’s hard to show it, because people will misinterpret it. But you can never be content. A lot of people act miserable, so they don’t give off the perception that they’re actually happy, because people will say ‘If you’re happy, you’re content.’ Well, no. They’re two totally different things. I’m completely not content, but I’m also comfortable enough to tell you ‘I’m happy about life and other things and about the opportunity. But no, I’m not content. Do you want me to just act mad?'” “In any competitive business, that can be misinterpreted. The player’s in a tough spot there. The player has to show that he’s grumpy so people realize he’s not content. And then you do that over and over, and year-in and year-out, and interview-in and interview-out. And sometimes you lose yourself. And you lose the feel and the perspective on things. And it’ll bleed into your game.” Amazing.

You may as well eat wires.

Watching Taylor Hall score goals like that is further proof that the Sabres exist simply to punish their own fans.

What if it’s just space tourism and we’re another stop on the intergalactic zoo tram?

Thanks for not including Red Vines. In Cali they don’t have Twizzlers, they only have Red Vines. They taste like plastic. A complete abomination.

Sandy?

We ARE the hostages.

Lol you can hear emails coming into Adams’ inbox while he’s talking.

Adams is so unbelievably overmatched. Holy hell this is a tire fire.

This is their MO - one of the reasons they’re addicted to rookie GMs is that they’re much easier to sacrifice. Maybe we’ll get a Doug Whaley “not privy to” PC out of Adams today and then the pressure on the Pegulas will reach a crescendo.
