I know, hence why I said they haven't been good enough this week.

Sometimes your the bug, sometimes your the windshield, in our Sabres case, we've been the bug for 11 years now, what's 1 more year.......

 

In 2 years - it will be 55 years without a Stanley Cup.  
 

And 60 years without a Super Bowl.  
 

This city is cursed.

Maybe they can give the kids all lollipops on the plane ride home and give them the day off tomorrow too

This was a close game for 50 minutes. 

“Except for the ending, how did you like the play Mrs Lincoln?”

Would really like to see how this game would've turned out minus the trip on UPL.  They were battling well then.

But them just quitting for the final 3 minutes is frustrating.

[Cheektorado]

Bruins are a "machine of destruction" this year.  101 points already with a +103 point differential.

See you guys next time.

[bunomatic]

That was painful. Fugging embarassing. Throw them a lifeline KA.

I give them one more year. If this doesn’t improve fire everybody. NJ was in the same position as us 3 years ago and they are a real good hockey team in the same timeframe. 

Ottawa has blown by the Sabres too.

[TageMVP]

Where is the defense, seriously, in every single game? 

Where is it

If you would of told me as a kid this is how the Sabres would turn out in my middle aged years I would of not believed you. How can we be this embarrassing for this long? What have they done to this franchise? 

Pegula made the choice to tear it down and put people around him that didn't know how to build a hockey team combined with Pegulas impatience creating a revolving door of those same people. That's why we have endured this pain. And I'm not going to make excuses for Pegula, but he was a huge fan, you know he sees this and feels as we do, but he doesn't have the luxury of emotional outbursts. Although, after 4 yrs or so, he should have.

I’m unimpressed with DG… and KA… as we had a chance for a wild card spot… Both failed their team tonight

Umm, when did the Sabres enter the league?  (Hit, it wasn't 1960.)

[CallawaySabres]

The tank is officially empty. Let’s hope next year there is more expectation than meaningful games in February 

[Stads]

We won the faceoff battle so...yay?

Also, how was Bryson the only defenseman to not have a negative +/-?

[Ctaeth]

7-1 is embarassing no matter who is injured.  i know, it was close for half the game, but still.  no moral victories in a 7-1 loss..

And ticket prices have been raised for both teams for next season. How much longer are fans gonna keep paying for this crap? At least the Bills can make it to the playoffs.

I can’t disagree. We are the armpit of the NHL. We are the Detroit Lions. It literally never changes.

Feels that way doesn't it.

Buffalo does one thing really well, it creates a population of thick skinned people. Weather, sports, economic, if you were born and raised here, if you decided to call this area home, you get thick skinned or you leave or mentally lose your chit. It's either that or you join the rest of us with liver's of steel 🤣 

[Taro T]

UPL deserved a much better fate this night.

Hope the team's meltdown doesn't take him out of the zone he was in.

Other teams traded for the best available defenseman. We brought in a JAG. You go Kevyn!!!

[KC Scouts]

I've been telling people for 2 weeks....I don't think the playoff invoice is coming and I wouldn't pay for it anyway.

What would I be paying for? The five minutes of cheerleading before Game 3 and then the puck drops and Bruins will mop the ice with the Sabres on their way to a sweep.....NO THANKS KEVIN

I mean,  how do you give up that many goals in the last few minutes?  WTF.

Lots of people said "We need to play relevant games in March" ...I didn't envision getting our ***** kicked in them

I prefer being in the playoff race and learning these lessons now.  Tonight our coach got schooled, hopefully he learned a few things.    
 

Granato killed the last 5:50 of 5his game when he pulled the goalie and basically invited an ENG.  Then he did it again on a PP with 4:20 left.  Could have been 3-2 with a goal there and no ENGs on us.  Instead it’s  5-1 and game over. 
 

You can’t pull your goalie on Boston for longer than 2 minutes.

Glad I turned it off when I did.

Chill Lol - I was doing quick math new new math in my head for two teams; I caught my mistake made the edit.  
 

I know the history of these 2 franchises inside and out.  
 

The Bills blew their Allen rookie contract window.  
 

The Sabres are asking us to wait a few more years.  It’s fine I understand what KA is doing.
 

But dam.  One!  Can we get one friggin title?

[TRIP65]

Pull your GOALIE at 5 mins, deserve what you get. Don't trade anyone. NO ONE WANTS THEM
