Agree. It’s not an excuse if there is data behind it. Young teams lose. If Adams fields another roster that averages 24-25 next year then they will consistently lose to rosters that average 28 or more. I am more sick of the “good veterans won’t come here” narrative. Great excuse for Adams. The Bills overcame that. Step one for Adams, which he still has not done, is to own it and get everyone that works for him to own it. They need to change the coach.

Detroit and Sabres latest rebuild are good ones to compare. Yzerman doing draft and develop plus bringing in veterans (Husso, Compher, Copp, Perron, Fabbri, Sprong, Kane, DeBrincat, Czarnik, Ghostisbehere, Petry …) Adam’s brought in Greenway, Clifton, a bunch of $780k JAGS, and a few really old guys.

Real data. The bottom 4-5 teams along with the Sabres have the youngest rosters, just like last year. Always, in every season, the youngest teams finish on the bottom. The winning streaks, or lack of, is directly related to two things 1 coaching and getting them ready 2 age/experience/leadership - they have to get themselves ready and be accountable to each other. We have enough speed and skill. We lack the right veteran know-how, and the leadership from within that comes with it. I agree that Adams is the primary reason for the roster construction.

No wonder you never answer?

A playoff team’s average age is at least 4 years older than Buffalo’s team. Even Detroit’s team is 4 years older on average. That is the biggest reason this team cannot string wins. We have 3 in row as our max.

Bisonette telling us about Sabres bad habits. He said the cross ice saucer passes by Quinn in the neutral zone are bad. Hmmm, good to know.

Joker

Petry is 36 years old and has 20 pounds on Cozens. After instigating it, he bailed on the fight immediately when he realized Cozens might actually land one. Petry is a joke.

10 and 4 are two pussies that should not be paired together. My God they stink.

Do we have to listen to Larkin all game. Dam

Cozens can destroy Petry, wish he could have kept balance and finish him.

The first one was worse. . Both times Quinn throwing the puck around as if he can’t see the red jerseys.

Finally. Got one. Thompson line is playing. The rest are terrible.

Why is this a repeated comment here? I assume most watch to root for a win. Everyone knows what a 2% chance is. We just saw one of the best power plays in the league and then one of the worst. Movement and shots.

They saw it and didn’t call boarding. They saw it and didn’t see instigator. I guess they don’t know the rules?

Fix water supply or watch Sabres?

Velleno doesn’t get 2 for instigating?

I don’t understand why we acquired Byram for Mitts. If we extend Byram then Joker is expendable. Clifton has become the most reliable player we have. Sabres embarrassed after 9 minutes. Byram got his ass kicked

Joker with a dumb penalty after another bad shift. I don’t like the Joker - Byram pair at all. The game comes down to a PK

Joker should have defended that too. Of all players it’s Kane.

Quinn again. Not aware of what’s happening.

Buffalo is no longer a wide open scoring team

Wow. UPL not there. Massive turnover. Terrible second shift.
