Yes, I catch myself being very frustrated. I will always be a Sabres and Bills fan. Clinging to better days in the past is sometimes helpful, but no Cup on the shelf is a painful. Everything about Pegula's regime has been bad. I certainly don't think he intended for this, and he obviously underestimated what it take to run a successful NHL franchise.

So, if the fan base is broken that includes you and @PASabreFan , correct? I would assume that the more invested the fan, the more pain, and the more likely to break in some way. Some fans cling to the current plan and some reject everything - both are on the extreme defensive moves.

I stopped doing this. I can play GM but it’s no use. The GM we have won’t do it either. I think a few big trades are needed. One that changes the team dynamics and brings in hockey leaders, and not just nice guys who will get along. Some of the top 6 needs to change. You can’t just replace the 4th line and fix things. Goaltending aside, our first and seconds lines, and our 2nd pair defense are the reason we did not improve this season. Get a veteran NHL Coach and listen to him Adams.

I get you. Good song too. Great live LP.

I’ll be watching John. Not giving up but I don’t see it happen for the reasons provided. The flaws are dotted throughout the roster. Yes, DG was extended. I am not sure he can get any more than what we have already seen from this group. I much prefer going after Berube, Gallant, Brind’Amour, etc, go get the one Adams can work with. They can bring a winning coach into this organization and let him help shape the roster. This is an opportunity. Drill a well Terry

I feel this is going to be a much too little, way too late story. The team is still flawed. They won’t make the playoffs because the best players are not having a good season and the game day coaching is not good enough. I still want to stay interested, be competitive, and see progress right to the end. After that- Gallant and Berube are out there. The Brind’Amour remote possibility is out there. I want a change at this magnitude and with commitment from TP and KA to let the head coach have a say in the NHL Roster.

My wife has family with South Buffalo and South Towns roots (West Seneca, Hamburg, etc) . No one, not once, has ever referred to anyone from there as “Southies”. It’s not a WNY thing. Southies is a Boston term, check out the movie Good Will Hunting. Maybe used in Chicago as well.

Nolan was LaFontaine’s choice to coach a rebuilding team and still keep the work ethic high. When Pat quit, Nolan was hung to dry by Murray, the roster was gutted further by Murray - who ironically was another LaFontaine selection. The entire organization was chaos and no one was on the same page back . Don’t blame Nolan for the roster they gave him or for trying to win with it.

He made round 2 twice out of the 3 and he worked a big rebuild in NJ. They were behind Buffalo when he got there. I voted no but I think he can still coach, and probably better than DG, but why not bring him back in a FO Exec/Hockey Operations capacity? Maybe he can help with pro player acquisition, coaching staff, etc. He would add credibility to the staff.

Quinn is key if we want a good finish. He came and the play of Cozens and Peterka elevated, especially true for Cozens as JJP was scoring. UPL gave up a deflection off of 33, and was screened by Bryson, but he made a bunch of big saves when needed.

He is going to be a good player in this league. Growing pains. Looks very good with stable linemates 22 and 77.

Cozens deserved one. Why not.

Oh no.

Ok. 22-24-77. Glad you guys are back.

Meant ignore. I found it.

How do you ignore someone?

What are you a child? I eyerolled you once, which took great restraint btw, and you eyeroll me for 5 posts. Oh, you got really showed me.

Good but now finish. SJ is a bad team but they show no signs of quitting or mailing it in today.

Greenway fills a role we need, and we still need more of.

Tell that to Joker

Tage once again one move too many.

Power did that break out all by himself. No forwards back. Just reminding you of what our team defense is like and the burden on the back liners. I am convinced that DG's system, is close to no system. I stick by my tournament team coach theory.

He has been working, he seems a bit clumsy at times though. Tage is gonna light the lamp today.

Hello Mike Grier

Clifton knocking their forwards down. Ok.
