What's the record for most regulation time losses in a row?

I sincerely believe this team can challenge it.

Get that it's a development year again, but on a 6 game losing streak, in a 1 goal game, why isn't the bench shortened especially w/ Girgensons down.  How difficult would it be to nail Krebs & Bjork to the bench while ut's a 1 goal game?

You have to get A W before anybody is going to be doing ANY developing.

Bjork was out in the last 2 minutes.

1/8 on the power play. Absolute trash product. Adams is a 🤡.  F this team.

Because its always the same even though the names change

Hire a cheap Coach/GM with little to no experience in the position and let them play the slow development game to build a 'Dynasty'......

The last coach with a nhl head coaching resume was Bylsma, and he built his off a team that was carried on the backs of Crosby, Malkin and a bunch of other big stars.

Oddly enough Bylsma got us the best record over the past 12 years

What is the breaking point before some kind of shake-up occurs? Don’t tell me there won’t be….. there has to be!!!! Adams can’t hide forever 

[HumanSlinky39]

Look back at the team that beat the Penguins on Nov 2 and was 7-3. This is the SAME group of guys and it looks like they're playing a different sport. What in the actual *****?

Buffalo....

Where dreams of a career in the NHL come to die, a very public gruesome death 🤣

It seems like Granato is out of answers/solutions….. what now?

He was.

Should've watched Moonshiners instead.  Just as dumb as the last 2 Sabres games but nowhere near as annoying.

It’s different this time.

I'm honestly a bit shocked they dropped this far, this quick, this hard. Jeff Marek was comparing them to Colorado like 2 weeks ago.

For myself, for everyone here, there needs to be an automatic autocorrect for anyone touting a strong finish. There just isn't a correlation to games won once eliminated and the start the following year. 

There just isn't. 

screw you, @PASabreFan I blame you, exclusively

Ralph Krueger is available

Tim Murray could at least make this crap exciting

Replace him if this is true

I guess it's time to start watching highlights of next year's draft prospects...in November...just like each of the last 12 years.

[KC Scouts]

Donnie talking post game about how “all teams go through this, even the good ones”…… What good teams have 7 game regulation losing streaks?

Honestly, all joking aside, the words out about this group, high pressure and they collapse, it's been this way for years. The teams roster structure needs to change, we need vets, some with snarl. As I watched the game tonight, it was like watching a game from 5 games ago, pressure the Sabres and they make poor decisions, they execute with complete panic sloppiness.

Nothing has changed.

[Thorner]

I don't believe my own sh*t half the time but I'm really, honestly, starting to think there's merit to my theory that until the team says, "eff it, our goal is to win, that's it, whatever it takes, take care of the rest later", they won't. They need an EKG after the willingly low expectations that have been set, year after year. 

We've heard of self-fulfilling prophecies, right? Those are actually things people talk about for a reason. 

If "winning isn't the goal, anyways", wins won't come. 

The covid shortened, disaster 2021 season with Taylor Hall doesn't represent a good faith sample size of "going for it". It's certainly much smaller than the sample size of "development years" that have lead to zilch.

As was mentioned earlier the Sabres passing was poor and they tried too many low percentage passes that were "cute". They need crisp, accurate passes that make the other team work their ***** off and tires them out on their shifts. When they make it too easy for the other team to get control of the puck they are the ones getting tired out doing all of the chasing.

I think it's the mindset they are being infused with. 

See: ROR

Comes from the top down. I know we say "it's different", but there's a common denominator that's been there since the beginning of this putrid stretch. again, screw you, @PASabreFan

Maybe the Sabres can bring in Marty's son to play goal. He's 2-0 with 1 shutout and has faced 59 shots.

We are a bunch of 98 pound weaklings, until we get some balls we don’t win
