Pregame roundtable discussion on WGR 550 about State of the Sabres on now. https://www.audacy.com/wgr550

And we all know… You can’t polish a turd… You just make a mess…

Bingo…. But not tonight… Tonight we gonna give dem Predators a… Mighty Wallop

Let’s call it Battered Fan Syndrome… And let’s define it… Battered Fan Syndrome is a psychological trauma that results from ongoing psychological and emotional abuse, typically at the hands of a longstanding losing sports team… Think if it weren’t for Sabrespace, some of us would be hitting the sauce or in therapy!

If you missed it, Koziol and Hamilton unloaded on the Sabres in the postgame show last night… https://omny.fm/shows/sabres-hockey/12-2-sabres-hurricanes-postgame-with-brian-koziol Pick up Koziol at 10min… Granato at 16min… Hamilton at 20min… Cozens at 23min… Special Roundtable Pregame Show tonight at 6pm on the State of the Sabres.

League can’t force him to sell just because he is a hockey dope and an intractable owner… Pity of it is the wasted talent under his control… Pegula is either a hockey ignoramus autocrat or a hockey ignoramus patsie… Pick one.

So sick of hearing players in post game comments mention having fun playing hockey with no mention of winning hockey games… Losing is not fun, fellas… Haven’t seen any of the goofy player videos posted in awhile… Progress of a sort… Don’t want to see another until the team can put together a couple weeks of winning hockey at least…

The team is a reflection of its leaders… Granato is an undemanding nice guy… to quick to explain away individual and team failure… Okposo is a nice guy… to quick to explain away miserable effort and losses… Make him a Player Coach… let him play 6 minutes a game. Change Coaches… Change Captains…

No team respects the Sabres… No evidence the Sabres respect themselves… Team needs a shake up… Sit Samuelson… Sit Power… Put pressure on the forwards to get aggressive… Granato should sit in the press box for a few games with Adams and Pegula… and watch the team he is sending out each night…

And, Tuch’s, and Mittelstadt’s, and Okposo’s… They all have the same sorry reaction to losing… No anger… No pride…

Ask Granato why he can’t coach a functioning PP??…

Bravo, Clifton… Bravo… Teach Power and Samuelson to fight…

Understood… Rather pay $11M a year for 8 years to a proven star and leader with grit… than $8M for 7 years all on the come to Power who is soft and has questionable compete… or $4M a year for 7 years to Samuelson who is soft, injury prone, and lacks compete… Neither Power nor Samuelson earned their contracts, imo… Dahlin earned his payday…

Is it my eyesight or do our players get consistently outmuscled going for the puck in both zones?… Thanks Mitts… No shutout anyway.

You paying attention Pegula?… How about you, Adams? Granato has lost the team…

Our youth is learning how to lose… It is reinforced with games like this…

Is Pegula even paying attention to the Sabres?… Hard to understand why he was so anxious to extend contracts of KA and DG… Just as hard to understand why KA signed Samuelson and Power to long term contracts on their promise not their performance… Mind boggling mismanagement

Truth… No pride.

Get Samuelson off the ice… Package him and trade him while teams think he still has value.

This team doesn’t even play like they’re embarrassed… Just calling it in…

Pathetic… Johnson gets turned around… Comrie gets no help.

Granato and Ellis should be embarrassed… Carolina humiliated our PP

Stopping us at the blue line on the PP…

No concept of how to execute a PP… Unbelievable.

Shoot the puck!
