RETURNTOGLORY

I've said this for years! The absolute worst team in the NHL when it comes to clearing their offensive zone!

Are you? What a crappy thing to say about two people you don't even know.

Love uncle Will! One of my former clients and friend when I lived in NYC. one hell of a musician!

He was born in Buffalo AND "During the offseason, he lives in Hamburg, New York in a house on the shores of Lake Erie" Agreed. My point is that the reputation of this team is known league wide.

Actually, he has a cousin in the organization, so I'd say his "inside knowledge " may be better than most 😉

Not the point. The fact that @ this stage of his career he would not want to play at home is telling.

He has inside knowledge of the dysfunctional aspect of this team and lack of leadership both ON the ice and off. He could have been a difference maker here.

Blacked out here in NC on ESPN. THANK ***** GOD!

I've always said Torts was the perfect coach for this young team.

Honestly, there is no passion or a sense of urgency with this team which is strange because for the most part, they are so young. That tells me the coach is coddling them.

Another year of suck.

Haha. You're joking, right? This team has NO FIRE!

One game brother. I'm talking about on a normal basis.

Four critical issues from the past several years that have not changed and are a HUGE factor in the lack of success with this team. 1) Refuse to shoot the puck. 2) The absolute worst team in the NHL in clearing the puck from their zone. 3) Horrid on face-offs. 4) Refuse to hit. Teams are fearless when they play the Sabres.

Where the PUCK is the leadership on this team? Pathetic !

Watch McDavid the moment he hits the ice. That's what I expect from these kids!

Lethargic play and sub-par goaltending. Look familiar?

Rest in Peace Rick. The GOAT ❤️

Would you make a play for Karlsson?

Other teams WISH they were as deep as us offensively. They will come in droves for VO.

*****ibg perfect end to a perfect Buffalo sports day!

I'm sad that it had to end BUT: 1) He was not and never should have been a Captain. Not in his DNA. He just wants to play with no additional pressure that the captaincy brings with it. 2) By all accounts, he was not good in the locker room. His pouting on ice was mirrored behind the closed doors and it affected his teammates. 3) His handling and more so, the way his previous agents handled his injury with lies and sensationalism undermined not only Jack Eichel, but the Sabres organization as a whole and caused irreparable damage. 4) The damage that the Eichel camp caused, IMHO, was purposeful and created an immense "Buyer beware" and hurt the return that the Sabres could expect. 5) The type of surgery to be selected in the end is the decision of the team per the collective bargaining agreement that the players and their union agreed to . 6) There is no guarantee with ADR surgery or any surgery for that matter. In a perfect world getting back to normal is, depending what source you read, 70 to 85% IN A PERFECT SCENARIO. Playing a physical sport like Hockey is untested territory for ADR surgery, for good reason. If you're Joe Blow with a normal semi-sedate lifestyle, odds of re-injury is fairly low. Full speed full contact professional Hockey?? KA did everything right here. Good job KA! Good luck JA. I think you're going to need it truthfully.

I am in Jack's position, save the professional athlete part of course. Regardless of which direction he goes surgery wise, there is a high likelihood of re-injury due to his profession.

Eichel changing agents is very telling IMHO. My money is him staying a Sabre.

Agreed.
