Coming into the season this disjointed is a direct result of the head coach and his gaggle of scrub assistants. I was actually offended by last summer's "coaching search." It was clear Adams, probably under Darth Terry's direction, zeroed in on Lindy without even considering anybody else hoping the nostalgia would satisfy the fanbase. It was a lazy and uninspired hire. Then they saddle him with detritus for an assistant staff. On top of all of this is was a bad hire. Lindy was a good coach 20 years ago. He's been a mixed bag since leaving Buffalo the first time and has failed with better rosters in Dallas and NJ. Bottom line, this organization isn't serious about icing a contender. Adams is a failed GM who would have already been fired almost anywhere else. He keeps his job because he will do Terry's bidding and Terry doesn't give a damn about the Sabres as long as the Bills are successful. Until Terry is insulated from hockey ops by a POHO that knows WTF he's doing, it will be and endless cycle of missing the playoffs and doing nothing to really get better. I hate this *****.

Probably not, but money talks. At least try this time instead of that BS last summer after they fired Granato. Adams wouldn't be able to get them because he's a feckless cockroach, but maybe Jarmo could.

They play hard, I'll give them that but they aren't any good. Another horrific failure by the GM to improve the roster The coaching staff has carved out no offensive identity. We just skate around and cannot generate hardly any shots. This team stinks. I know it's just 2 games but this is the same ***** we've seen for a decade and a half. Fire Adams. Fire Ruff and his lousy assistants. Let Jarmo GM for the rest of the year. Do whatever it takes to bring in DeBoer or Gallant to coach these bums. I'm ***** tired of ***** hockey.

Have these guys had an extended possession in the Bruins zone tonight?

Get out of that scrum, Muel, you're gonna get injured.

Fire Appert into outer space. Somehow, someway the power play actually looks WORSE than last year.

Sabres power play

ZUCKER FINALLY

Lyon keeping us in this game. Unfortunately the guys in front of him can't offense.

We look AWFUL.

Even when they get a juicy chance in the slot they just fire it into the goalie's crest.

JFC, Tage

100 minutes of hockey, zero goals.

Power whiffs on a shot and Tage takes a penalty. 3-0 coming up.

They lost 13 straight last season and all that happened was an Uncle Terry locker room pep talk and a day off practice. They aren't firing anybody.

2-0

We've said something to this effect at least a dozen times the last two years. He isn't getting fired because this isn't a serious hockey organization.

2012-2025 Sabres ---- 2025/26 Sabres

80 minutes of hockey, no goals. Going swimmingly.

Of course. So, much of the hope for this season hinged on an extremely injury prone player staying healthy for once and he's gone for "significant time" before opening night is even done. I'm sure Kev has a good "plan b" up his sleeve. 🙄

It is bizarre and unfortunate because he is a pretty damn good player. But the guy has played 5 full NHL seasons and is best known for being injury prone. On a team like this, that needs A LOT to go right to get over the playoff hump, counting on a guy like that is foolish at best and abjectly incompetent at worst. That trade should have never been made and I don't think a competent GM does it.

I'm a glutton for punishment so I'll still be watching when the drought hits 20 years. As I watch this current batch flail, the uniform still inspires memories of what made me fall in love with this broken, broken franchise...Mogilny, LaFontaine, Hasek, Hawerchuk, etc. I can't blame people for tapping out, it all feels so damn hopeless.

Norris has been a full-time NHL player for 5 seasons. He's played 236 games, or 47.2 per season. The guy is incredibly fragile. Yes, he has skill and is a responsible 2-way player when healthy, but that's not very often. Plus he's locked up for basically 5 more seasons at $8MM per. That was a reckless and irresponsible trade that no real GM would make and it should cost Kevyn his job...but it won't.
