Not only the fourth line, but that second line looks dreadful too, no 5-5 scoring from 2 lines for sure.

[Kruppstahl]

Don't underestimate the role the Sabres will be playing in shaping the playoff picture in our division! 

Teams are licking their chops thinking about the points they will--and need to--get off us.

Now it's Pittsburgh's turn to join the feast.

And soon, Boston.

Can anything happen tonight to get Krueger fired? Someone please come up with a scenario for me. If Ralph walked up to Terry after a 7-0 loss, wearing the t-shirt below, kicked him in the jewels and made a pass at Kim, could that do it?

The funny thing is I remember making jokes like this (what does it take to get the coach fired!), like a decade ago, about Lindy Ruff.

It got so ugly for so long at the end, and he remained coach way past the time when he needed to go.  

We haven't made any progress, really, since.

That is really disappointing.

 

[Zamboni]

Pens ... 5

Sabres ... 2

Skinner, KO or Risto with a goal

[Cal Naughton Jr]

I didn’t know where to put this. It actually makes me feel worse about the team

And we're 12th in penalty kill. It is so hard to be last in the league with your speciality units that strong

Or maybe it should give us a new perspective on priorities in building a hockey team. A lot of us (me included) were sympathetic to the idea that addressing those two areas could help us cover reasonable ground. 

But the reality is, most of hockey is played 5v5 and it's where the most goals are scored. A house should have its wiring and plumbing and roofing completed before you start the interior design work

Ya, I guess - but we were cup contenders after signing Hall, you heard them. Teams that good only need to tinker and bring in players with a specific skill set for a specific role.

[Sabres Fan in NS]

MUST WIN!!

GO SABRES!!

Is RaKru still around?  I have zero minutes in my crazy busy life to follow what is going on in Sabreland right now.

[Marvin]

Ooh!  Ahh!  Sabres on the Golf Course.

That’s why it’s so depressing. We shouldn’t be this bad

[LabattBlue]

I don't give a damn how poor Joker is playing.  Having Irwin in the lineup instead of him is a fireable offense...even Miller instead of him is bad.  Ralphie is definitely not playing with a full deck.

[LabattBlue]

...you know that eventually these clowns will find a way to win a couple games in a row, even 2 out of 3, and KP, TP, KA & RK will sit back and say...

See, all is well.  Stay the course.

[Mustache of God]

I think the only reason RK is still around is because our GM wants to see how Ralph fares against every team in the division. We scratch off PItt tonight and a week from today play Boston (with 3 other games in between). So a loss tonight, plus those next three, plus a game against Boston would bring this streak up to....14 games? That's when he'll get the axe. It's only logical.

[Claude Balls]

Just got back from walking my pup. Did the Sabres lose yet??

 

Edit: It is absolutely gorgeous out. Too nice to watch this clown show.

I think the dog pic is going to be the high point of this thread. Unless the Sabres play really....dog pic it is then

No, but it's one of my favorite shows. Would love to check it out sometime, then go have a beer at the Mug and Anchor.
