If that was true Highmark Stadium would have been a quarter to half empty every game instead of all but sold out every game. If the Sabres weren't the single worst joke of a franchise in all of pro sports and were competitive there would be way more than a couple of thousand fans in attendance every night.

Terry Pegula is to hockey what Dan Snyder is to football: Completely killed markets dead where such a feat was thought to be impossible.

If that's the case good for the people in Portland, Kansas City, Quebec or wherever this franchise has been relocated to by then. They are drawing smaller crowds than just about any AHL team not named the Bridgeport Islanders, what do you think it's going to look like after a few more years of this putrid dogshit?

If you create expectations you have to meet them. If you say "we need years to be competitive" it absolves you from having to produce any accomplishments and gives you job security

Maybe next time one of the most successful coaches of the past few decades is all but begging for our job give it to him? Our expansion cousins are currently thanking God we didn't.

DEATH TO THE WOLFPUKE! DEATH TO THE RAGS! MSG GET THE ***** OUT OF MY ***** MALL YOU DISGUSTING SCUM SUCKING VULTURES AND TAKE YOUR TWO DOZEN NECKBEARD FANS WITH YOU! FOREVER WHALERS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I am hoping against hope Patty buries the hatchet with the Pegulas for a night and shows up because really the RJ LALALALALAFONTAINE call is a big reason they retired his number. Also: Retire #51 for RJ.

If Louis Billups catches a ball Montana threw right at him or Stanley Wilson didn't decide to go on a coke binge the night before that Super Bowl my entire childhood wouldn't have been ruined.

I worked for them!

My reaction to tonight's game:

#VoteTage

Seriously is there any aspect on or off the ice that this organization does in a manner befitting an NHL organization?

But doing something like that would've gone against Clever Kevyn's magical plan. I mean if he did that the team might win games and we can't be doing that because it would ruin the magic plan!

Yup, he's on a team with a roster that wouldn't make the AHL playoffs but clearly it's Dahlin that's the problem. sOpHiStIcAtEd FaNbAsE

I WANT MORE BLOOD THAN A ***** SLAUGHTERHOUSE, KILL KILL KILL!!!!!!!

Why was the Asplund-Tage-VO Line broken up. And yes I know the answer is "NHL coaches have a bizarre fixation with destroying things that work".

This thread is peak reactionary hot take nonsense. A Dahlin trade would end up a hockey version of Nolan Ryan for Jim Fergosi but thankfully KA isn't completely insane and it's not going to happen.

Sadly this is the case. Had bought my tix for Friday and was called this morning by someone in the org who broke the bad news.

Here's video of the play leading to the second Tage goal:

The Pegulas should be forced to visit UBS Arena so they can have it rubbed into their noses just what awful disgraceful failures they are as NHL owners and how they should feel nothing but shame and embarrassment every time they look in the mirror. This place makes KBC look like a dilapidated rec rink in the middle of Bumblefudge.

BR had the streaming rights before Covid shut down the league. I'm actually a Wings STH as I went to a game after a Flyers matinee game in 2010 and had a great time.

Kane coming to Buffalo would be even worse for him than the team because he'd be surrounded by all of his old running buddies and I could easily see something very bad happening.
