Hoss Posted April 23, 2021 Report Posted April 23, 2021 It's pretty jarring to hear the way players around the league have talked about the team but this is the first I've seen from someone with absolutely no connection to the team. Quote
Brawndo Posted April 23, 2021 Report Posted April 23, 2021 Buffalo has a deservedly crappy reputation around the league. I wonder in this instance if He was talking about the Sabres 18 Game Winless Streak and did not want to continue down that path Quote

Zamboni Posted April 23, 2021 Report Posted April 23, 2021 It has everything to do with the losing streak the Sabres went thru. And nothing about the city or the fans or the actual franchise. Good grief.... 3 Quote

He is talking about struggling to break out of a long losing streak and the pressures, stress, and embarrassment that comes with that. Buffalo just went through an 18 game losing streak, hence the reference. It wasn’t a referendum on the overall state of the franchise. The losing streak was pathetic enough. No need to manufacture it into something else. 4 1 Quote
bunomatic Posted April 23, 2021 Report Posted April 23, 2021 Unfortunately I hear it often on Sports radio. Always the butt of jokes. Everyone getting their digs in. But when you’re this successful at being bad you have to own it. Things will get better. Eventually it’ll be another teams kick at the can. 1 Quote

But it's part of something that's certainly captured attention around the league. I think it's going to be a LONG LONG time before this franchise gets this stench wiped off. 3 Quote
PerreaultForever Posted April 23, 2021 Report Posted April 23, 2021 Zemgus and him probably drink vodka together, but ya, I think he was just talking about the losing streak. Quote
Hoss Posted April 23, 2021 Author Report Posted April 23, 2021 Yes, everyone. He is talking about the losing streak. Obviously. Quote

How quickly that was forgotten a mere 2 seasons later. Quote
lost in dc Posted April 23, 2021 Report Posted April 23, 2021 A well deserved reputation. But nothing will change. SOSDD Quote
Pimlach Posted April 23, 2021 Report Posted April 23, 2021 Referring to our 18 game losing streak, the worst part of what he said was “even for them it was hard.” Buffalo is known as a team that accepts losing. 1 Quote

I think it's going to be a LONG LONG time before this franchise gets this stench wiped off. The reason we are talked about is because of the absurdity of the ineptitude of this stretch, it's been a historically bad decade. All they have to do is put together a winning season and make the playoffs and the "stench" is gone It's precisely because we haven't had *any* success that we are talked about in those terms. Something like making the playoffs even ONCE is a MASSIVE, massive change If we make the playoffs the talk won't be "they are still bad" - we've already proven over the course of a decade that making it while bad is impossible - we haven't, and won't, fluke it off. Making the playoffs will be revelatory whenever it eventually happens. Edited April 23, 2021 by Thorny 1 Quote

No need to manufacture it into something else. Weak, weak sauce. Of course Elvis would say something similar about the franchise itself, but he knows not do that. If he ever did, he'd immediately leave the building. 2 hours ago, Pimlach said: Referring to our 18 game losing streak, the worst part of what he said was “even for them it was hard.” Buffalo is known as a team that accepts losing. Yep. Even is the smoking gun. I love this notion that the long losing streak is the only strike against this franchise. Quote
