@Doohicksie I laugh so as to not cry. That said, I am in 100% agreement. > As of this post Sabres 7pts out of WC. Problem is Sabres don’t know how to win & do not maintain defensive structure leading to goals & losses. > GMKA & Pegs have created this problem over the years & cannot get veterans (who can play & lead) > Additionally, the culture in Sabreland is awful. > What I cannot wrap my mind around is how the same owner has one team thriving & another languishing. How does he not see what is needed to be successful? > He keeps losing $ w Sabres while swimming in $ w NFL & Bills. How about spending money to rebuild the franchise and entire Front Office. > Hire a REAL POHO & let him run the organization (I.e. a Beane from NHL). >Spend to the cap. > If Pegs builds it fans will come. > Insert the definition of insanity here…. sigh. @Pimlach What say you from the 716!?

Is "accountability" even possible in the Sabres organization?
Spoonman replied to GASabresIUFAN's topic in The Aud Club
I have been quiet on the boards this year as I am watching & was ever hopeful again, until they implode again game nights & another season. I disagree w your take on the city/fans. Fans have supported this team since established in ‘70. I remember when we were competitive & relevant in the NHL. The city was always behind, supporting, & excited by our boys. That said, only so much $ in pockets to spend & Sabres are again Sabre-ing. I don’t blame fans, it is the ‘Or Gan IZ A Shon’. After 13 (going on 14) yrs. of: - mismanagement, including: - rotating GM’s & coaches (HC & assistants - I.e. Kruger soccer guy)?! - bad drafts & trades (ok we keep picking early in draft so building up assets during this period). - not selling high w prospects/players - putting too many kids in NHL too soon - no real veteran leadership/depth to show the young bucks, and younger veterans (who don’t know winning) how to play big boy hockey. - GMKA & youngest team in league (again), is too in love w his players to make real moves, Pegs too in love w GMKA’s fealty to do anything!? - GMKA not capable & limited scouting staff of even picking up waiver wire guys (Kapanen to Oilers!). - no direction I can discern, except we started year with ‘playoff hockey’ as goal, want accountability, and as of GMKA’s forced presser, the team is back to growing & he likes this group, Buffalo no palm trees & NY taxes…. (has nothing he has/hasn’t done). - I have not been on Pegs selling the team, as I want them to stay in Buffalo (I remember losing the NBA Braves way back). That said this city deserves better. IDK anymore what to do?! -
