Also … (not talking about St. Louis) For some, yelling, screaming, calling out their own players in public, and throwing things = good coach.

Although I disagree with “a fraction” … I’m right there with you. 👍🏼 Although on further reflection .. 2/3 is a fraction 😂 🤔

It doesn’t bother me at all. Many coaches had a resume that didn’t include the playoffs, until they made it. Granted as I see it, as of this moment in time, he still has time to get this team heading in a playoff direction.

I look at it this way… Nothing is working… Until it works. 😂 A team is never set. A team is always interchanging players every off-season and often during the season. So what you may describe as “significant changes“ might be a different definition for another fan. Swapping out one player for another player, to me isn’t significant change. Swapping out a head coach for another head coach, to me isn’t significant change. Changing out nearly half the roster like they did in 2018, 2019, 2020. That to me is significant change. again everyone has a different definition of what significant change means to them.

I am stating why the inconsistency between them looking good one game, and looking terrible another game. That’s all I was stating. And you asked me about how long I am willing to wait? What do you mean by that question? willing to wait? as in there is a time where I’m no longer willing to wait? As in there’s a time that I’m no longer going to wait and will not like the Sabres anymore? What do you mean by… willing to wait? and lastly… It’s not that I look optimistic… It’s that I don’t let a sport get me so absolutely furious where I’m on the verge of having a brain aneurysm. It’s just not worth it to me. So I tend to have the losses roll off my back most nights. Not every night. And I tend to be happy with the wins, but not get too fantasyland high with wins either. I hope that sort of answers it 👍🏼

And like clockwork … it has 😂

A very young team that is inconsistent. Just like other young teams before them. And other young teams after them. Because consistency has been a problem with most young teams in every sport. As they gain more experience they gain more consistency. at least that’s how I see it.

My God I hate knee-jerk emotional and usually illogical rantings after losses. Just as much as I hate knee-jerk emotional usually illogical rantings after wins. Thank you to those who keep it even tempered with fair analysis. It sucks they lost… I got over it 10 minutes after it happened. Onto the next game.

No, it’s not time to fire DG and staff. He will not be fired this Season… Unless… There is a absolute positive catastrophic bottom falls out failure week after week after week with no end in sight. Some might not like it some may hate it… But I believe that’s the cold truth.

I wouldn’t want Zadorov on this team. At all… For reasons I’ve said before.

Yes. There were a few others that were even tempered and patient with their analysis and opinions as well 👍🏼

For funsies …. Check out this thread on the kid just 3 years ago ….

I am so glad to see his development. Last year there were glimpses. He’s becoming a solid NHLer. Love it 👍🏼

Exactly. https://www.eliteprospects.com/league/nhl/teams-physical-stats/2023-2024

Taking everything into consideration… I wasn’t let down at all by Savoie in this game.

Glad my prediction was so wrong 👍🏼 woooooooo

I wouldn’t know so I’ll take your word for it

Agree. Let’s just get them younger and less miles on the body. Foligno can retire somewhere else.

An aggravated yapping Skinner is a great Skinner

Yes. It’s been outrageous for decades. Along with 90% of everything there.

No. Not always. As a 19 year STH I was at many many Lindy Ruff games where the attendance was poor and the team was poor. I agree that winning will bring those sellouts back!

Beautiful moment there … god bless her recovery

I’ve predicted 2 other losses this season. I’ve been wrong one of those two times … I hope I’m very wrong tonight …
