every time it fells like they've hit rock bottom they find a way to go lower

missed the first. was the goal disallowed because of the high sticking penalty? and there was no whistle?

It's always darkest before the dawn. Today is the day. Mark this date <enter today's date> 12-20-2024 in Sabres history as the day the franchise resurrected itself from the depths of hockey hell, and began it's march to Stanley Cup glory.

You'd rather they leave town??? If you don't like the product, then don't buy tickets. Be thankful they're still around, boo them if you must, but don't treacherously campaign for a boycott.

This roster is constructed well enough to compete for a playoff spot. The excuse making needs to stop. Do better.

I voted everyone is part of the solution. Here's why. No trade or set of trades will change anything. We've seen it a million times. They make a trade, it briefly sparks the team, then they end up in the same old rut but also down a good promising player or two who eventually blossoms with their new team and we all lament what could have been. That has to stop. Making deals to move veterans who "no longer want to be here" also has to stop. Management needs to send the message that this is it... this is the roster, this is your coaching staff. Figure it out or be the laughing stock of the league... that's on nobody but the players. The only finger pointing needs to be at themselves. Find a way to do better or accept the fact you'll get boo'd on home-ice on your way to another lost season. The young core needs this pressure to grow... knowing that nodody is going to bail them out, it's on them.. not the owner, not the GM, not the head coach.

Benson just not big and strong enough to stay on his skates. Nice try tho.

My 3 step process to bring this franchise back from the dead. Hire an experienced hockey mind as POHO. Let him evaluate the executive team (GM, exec assistants, etc..) and make a call on Kevyn and his staff members. Hire a new GM, or give Kevyn and his staff the resources/authority he needs to do his job and provide him with some strategic direction. Trade some undersized prospects for grit and experience, specifically a stay-at-home veteran defenseman to pair with Power. Power 's development is crucial to this team's success. He's still young for a defenseman, but he needs a mentor, somebody to learn from who he can trust and will cover up his mistakes. Coaching staff. The power play is historically bad. Move on from Appert immediately. Start the search for a new head coach and put Lindy on notice. Unfair? Too bad, 8 consecutive losses? He likes to talk about accountability, we'll he needs to be held accountable himself.... tough titty. Give him until Christmas to right the ship, or ring in the new year with a new HC rather than letting another season go to waste like they've done for the past 13 years.

Buffalo jumps out to a 3-0 lead. The Rangers claw their way back, taking a 4-3 lead midway through the final frame. Boos rain down from the rafters. Sabres tie it up with under 7 minutes to play thanks to a one timer by Byram. Benson draws a holding penalty with under 5 on the clock. On the ensuing power play, Power fumble fucks the puck at the blueline sending Trocheck in all alone who neatly tucks it behind UPL for the game winner. Or... is tonight the night they right the ship and begin their march towards Lord Stanley's prized cup?
