Again, we can't do a breakaway.

Can't convert a breakaway, can't pick a corner, no one has ever heard of a five-hole. It's like they use a jersey's crest for target practice.

If we really only win 3 or 4 more the rest of the year there is no way Housley can survive.  

They need 3 more points to get 10 more than last season.  I doubt they do this.

They can fire both Botterill and Housley at this point and it won't matter.  These two guys bring absolutely nothing to the organization.

Yeah.  To me the ROR trade put us right back into lotto territory.  1 step forward one step back.  Very bad trade.  In addition he’s fielded 2 bottom feeders, that minus a lucky streak is no better than last year.  

[Claude Balls]

That's a nice clean hit by lil Rasmus

[Beer]

Dahlin is the only Sabres player worth a damn tonight.  An 18 year old is the only hope we have.

Good tune for about half of it, then it went downhill.

The Sabres should go into the funeral business because they are good at digging holes.

[Claude Balls]

Yay, 20 mins away from b2b shutouts. It doesn't get any better than this. ***** ***** hole franchise

[Beer]

Man, I’m negative tonight.  Sorry SS’ers.

Thompson and Mittelstadt look more and more like busts every game too.  Botterill needs to be held accountable for not letting these guys develop in Rochester.

I have zero emotion about this game.

 

I have a lot of emotion about that statement.

Along with their terrible defensive corpse.

Not to mention they are good at sucking the life out of their customers

As many of us are. You have every right to be watching this dumpster fire.

Hard not to be at this point.

MIttelstadt and bust are two words that don't belong in the same stratosphere. 

I have faith in Mittelstadt as a prospect, it hasn't been shaken. This just illustrates how laughable it was the Botterill had Mittelstadt (or Mittelstadt/Berglund) penciled in as the 2C.

Laughable.

half watching the game I think I've seen Nylander look like he's trying on one shift.

To be fair, it's hard to score goals in this league.

Games 1-15, 26-68 last year: 51 points

Games 1-15, 26-68 this year: 49 points

 

Of course:

Games 16-25 last year: 4 points

Games 16-25 this year: 20 points

He's upset he's not in Rochester. He's definitely playing/acting his way right out of the organization.

[Tondas]

I know Nylander is young, but I haven't seen anything yet that convinces me that his future is more than an average forward in the Swedish League.

If they fired both and it doesn't matter at all....that says more about the players than management, especially seeing alot of these guys were here already before them.

[Jacque Richard]

Tim murray is laughing somewhere, must have been on a bender all the time when he was here.

And what's that say about the farm if he was the first one they brought up? I'm just hoping this is JB's way of deciding what to do with him after the season.

To me that is near fireable.  He’s done great with the Amerks.  But there is maybe one or two players there that will help us next year.  I have a feeling Ottawa will shoot right past us with a quicker rebuild.

And coincidentally one of those teams had ROR on it.
