Sure I get that. But they were not even going in a good direction with all three, which is why ROR said what he said. We covered this, the tear down was too far and the GM apparently knew nothing about setting a winning culture or roster chemistry. I know Botterill traded ROR, and Adams traded the other two several years later, and I know why. When you speak out against the Emperor or his kingdom then you get to go. We have not had a GM that is worth a dam since Regier.

When Bosa Nova and American Jazz first came together, this is the record. One of the classic recordings of its time, this was an early introduction to Brazilian music and their top artists to North America. This is my collectible first pressing on Verve Records. I was lucky to find this in such pristine condition. The sound quality is as amazing as the performance. If you have a streaming service they will probably have it in their library.

Mostly true although Eichel, Reinhart, ROR and others have played at a much higher level after they left. They have the stats and the hardware to show it. All three in Buffalo at once and they did little to elevate the team when they were here. Which is why a frustrated ROR said “losing is acceptable here”, he didn’t like it and he wasn’t wrong. There is a list of players that were good and not given a shot like Zadarov and Compher were traded for ROR so I won’t count them but players like Braydon McNabb and Hagel are examples of GM changes that disrupt development of the roster.

I was at that game. One of the best ever Sabres games played in the Aud. Top 3 for sure. Schoeny was around 19-20 at the time. Just a crazy rookie that was insane to watch. Punch brought in the rugged and savvy veteran Tim Horton to pair with him and help teach him the ropes. Look at the box score and read the names. https://www.hockey-reference.com/boxscores/197212130BUF.html It took Punch 3 years to build a solid and sustainable playoff team with the right combination of veterans and youth. Sure, the game is much different now but it just doesn't have to be like this, this bad for this long, with three rookie GMs running things into the ground.

It seems more plausible that trading Dahlin will enhance his career (the Cups are hard to predict), and still not result in a trade that helps turn the franchise around. Cases in point: An injured Eichel got us Tuch, Krebs, Östlund, and Greenway (via trade of a #2 pick). Would you make that trade again? Reinhart got us Levi and Kulich. Would you make that trade again? ROR got us Tage Thompson, Ryan Johnson, and a big pile of veteran poop (Berglund, Sobotka, and a pick that was flipped for Colin Miller). Would you make that trade again? What if Dahlin loses his love for the game? Here is direct copy of ROR's big crime against Terry Pegula's version of hockey heaven. As he and his fellow Sabres teammates cleaned out their lockers, he was quoted saying: “We’re stuck in this mindset of just being OK with losing. I feel it, too. I think it’s really crept into myself. Over the course of the year, I’ve lost myself a lot, where it’s just kind of get through, just being OK with just not making a mistake. That’s not winning hockey at all, and it’s crept into all of our games. It’s disappointing. It’s sad. I feel throughout the year I’ve lost the love of the game multiple times.” (from ‘Sabres’ Ryan O’Reilly says he lost love of game, lacked mental toughness,’ The Buffalo News, Apr 9, 2018)

Is this what Kevyn means by sustainable?

Another third period melt down. Another winnable game lost.

The Duffer. I don’t get to see greatness on EPSN- Bring back Robey

Oh for six on the power play. They give up an easy goal with 6 on 4.

Let’s Go Buffalo. (Clap - Clap - Clap-clap-clap).

No.

$hit. We were dominating. A leaker gets thru.

Muel is having a night.

Nice goal. Muel lights the lamp.

Dahlin and Eichel winning Cups in Vegas is a worst nightmare that playing in the Brady/Bellichick division.

I really believe Ray is getting a rush from the hostility in front of him. It’s part of hockey.

Ugh. Lets go boys.

The powerful Buffalo Sabres easily defeat the hapless Atlanta Flames 7-2 tonight on the road. Rick Martin gets the hat trick, Gil has a 4 point night.

Rooting for losses is not anything I will do. Play to win - change the culture starting now.

What is SN1? Opps, Canadian Sports Net.

Malenstyn will be back, he has another year in the contract. He is doing what they wanted him to do. Lafferty has another year on his contract, but not sure. He could be a 13/14 forward as he plays C and Wing. NAK will move on.

Just be happy you are not a Chiefs fan. You would have 16 games of if, if, and if. They nearly lost every game this season.

Thank you. From the start of 2021 to today Lafferty has played on 5 different teams. He is a fourth line player.

A playmaker 1C type center is a bigger need. From there you push our top center(s) down. That improves multiple positions and gives more competition so that we aren't reliant on kids like Kulich and Kozak unless they can beat out a vet. We have to stop giving jobs to the kids, make them take the jobs away.
