Sacramento was near the top of the drought list until they made the playoffs last season.

….the drought goes on forever, not sure it ever ends! New York Jets 13(thru 2023) Buffalo Sabres 13(thru 23-24) Detroit Tigers 9(thru 2023) Los Angeles Angels 9(thru 2023)

Adam Oates.

Now, every social media nitwit for a team, business, even government has to join in on the “fun”. It has become a day to just stay off the internet.

I know it is a once in a 100 years event, but all these viewing parties, stores closing, schools shutdown, daily non-stop talk about it on the news…can’t wait for it to be over. I will be standing in my backyard, or even just watching through my living room patio door. Woohoo…it will go from light to dark to light, kind of like what it does every day.

Only one word for Terry… SELL!!!!!!

I didn’t mean the new HC & GM should be fired if they miss the playoffs in their 1st year. Just don’t be like the current regime and run it back with an unproven and mostly the same team as the prior year.

Thanks Tom. Right back at you! 👍🏻

Answer to the problem… 1 - Pegula sells the team 2 - New Owner fires Adams, Granato and all of his assistants. 3 - New Owner hires experienced hockey man to be PoHO. 4 - PoHO hires experienced GM, who in turn hires an experienced HC(at the NHL level). 5 - GM & HC determine that this isn’t a playoff roster, and setup a plan to fix it. No one is untouchable…NO ONE. 6 - Playoffs are the minimum goal in 24-25.

Yep! Empty promises.

Yeah, the nine years before they came on board wasn’t their fault, but the current duo of Adam & Granato have had four years, and have fallen short each year...in a league where 1/2 the teams make the playoffs. Also, Pegula has been at the top of this pile of crap for all 13 years, so yes, the fans have a right to and should be pissed off as much the last four years, as the nine that preceded it. Anyone who still has season tickets is just flushing money down the drain. Hopefully this offseason people express their displeasure with their wallets. The best thing that could happen is if Pegula sold the team…the sooner the better.

Is Wahlberg coming over because his team was eliminated and joining the Amerks just for the playoffs, or will he be here for next season and beyond?

Awesome!!! 😂😂😂

Get off my lawn type complaint… In Florida for a month. Enjoying the complex pool most days, unless there are kids in the pool screaming “Marco….Polo” at the top of their lungs for what seems like an eternity. 😂

So it will be a coincidence that Stone’s injury happens to heal just as the playoffs are starting?

Pegula & Co have ruined my fandom. I read the first few posts in this thread and was like who cares. I know nothing about Byram, and don’t care if Mitts is a Sabre or not.

It doesn’t f***ing matter that the players have not been around for all 13 years. These dumbass players should not need to be reminded that the fans have been around for all 13 years of the Pegula Trainwreck(and for some many many more years than that). The frustration level is at an all-time high in Sabres history. What a surprise, bunch of millionaires can’t relate to Joe Fan. 👎🏻

The open practices were not only a big deal for kids, but also adults who couldn’t get game tickets. If you weren’t around for the 70’s, you have no idea how crazy Sabres Mania was during that time.

According to Hamilton(just on WGR), Dahlin was pretty vocal about the “Fire Donny” chants. Does this mean he led the boycott? Who knows? Also, sometimes Hamilton talks like he knows more than he really does, so take all this with a grain of salt.

Very petty move by the players. Says a lot about the leadership by the players, coaches, GM & owner. 👎🏻👎🏻👎🏻

No one can convince me that Pegula is not meddling day to day. It doesn’t stop at… “Says TP is involved in the amateur scouting meetings; mostly listens, but takes notes and asks questions”. When you have ruined the franchise to the point where they have missed the playoffs for 13 straight years in a league where half the teams make the playoffs each year, you get zero benefit of doubt. Just sell the f***ing team already.

I’m just a few months away from Medicare eligibility.

Hi everyone! 👋🏻👋🏻👋🏻 I haven’t posted much in the last couple of months(bad HC, worse GM & terrible owner), but I still lurk often. Just wanted to say, this is still the best message board for Sabres talk…and also non-hockey talk.

Welcome to my bandwagon. Plenty of room for others.

Rochester is an hour away and at home tonight. No excuse for going 11-7. If you need a forward, make the call.
