Not much else to say. Most inept franchise in professional sports. And it happens to be my team. 

Hope, eventually Bills got it RIGHT, takes 4-5 GM/Coaching hires I guess

If you see his other quotes, I think he was either joking or referencing this year?

I really don’t GAF.

Pitiful.  Absolutely pitiful.  

Pegula's fault for selling tickets to Bruins Fans?

[HOUSE]

Call up the Amerks, all of them

The sabres twitter account has been successfully ratioed on every tweet they made this game

I think Buffalo fans sold to Bruin fans.

Now now, our core is so young, look at them. 20, 21, 22, 23. Wait until they're 26, 27, 28. We will be a machine.

 

No seriously, wait until then 

Hahahaha that is the life of a Sabres fan. Just wait, it’s gonna happen… someday

As someone from Rochester, I am all for this, just substitute the entire team and see what happens

No way, not even the most embarrassing moment against the Bruins. Lucic (sp) running Miller with no real response is the worst for me. I still haven’t recovered from that. When we punch these f@#keys in the face and dominate them, we will have exorcised that demon that haunts us. Whoah, got that off my chest, thanks. I think.

Yes, those TEAMS for Sabres cared too.

[matter2003]

What a joke...they have given up.

Greenway was an Adam's knee jerk reaction and it has backfired big time, Greenway stinks.

Granto pounded his fists for this move 🙄

[Sidc3000]

So Adams is speaking 🤔

Okie said it best last season, what you do this season doesn’t carry over to next season

I hear it. Maybe the season doesn’t carry over, but culture and expectations do. McDermott says the same thing, that’s why I don’t believe it😂. Coach speak. I’ve been fortunate to play sports on teams that had a winning culture and ones that didn’t. That ***** makes a world of difference. Full disclosure, not a pro team, and a different sport. But as an organization I think these last games matter.

I've already penciled this in as a loss. 7 - 1 Bruins.

Meh, I was close. 

So, that #8 OA draft position again then?

Greenway is a big let down - He was suppoded to be KO's or Zemgus' replacement on the 4th line, just better to trade him somewhere else.

He is in the "DEVELOPMENT PROGRAM"

what a day when 7-1 ended up being too optimistic

I have no clue when I'll go to another Sabres game. I won't buy a ticket until they are back in the playoffs. Enough of this garbage.

I won't even Rideshare for THEM

Get back to me when you actually understand why they are rated so highly to begin with. 

Because people are dumb. That's another team that is nougaty soft. They took a step backwards this year and and in the midst of another step backwards. When they ruin Allen from getting him hit so much the glass house will come crashing down. 3 years. Max.

I agree about a winning culture but you have to be confident that your team is great to have such a strong winning culture. They know, like we do, that this team isn’t good let alone great.

Not even remotely, but I know fake good when I see it. Good teams don't struggle with Skylar Thompson.

Maybe he’s still recovering from injuries then. I really DGAF at this point. He is not good enough currently, regardless. Yes, he needs better supprt. What goalie doesn’t? But if a team has to play perfect hockey in front of him for him to succeed, what does that really say about him? A goalie MUST make saves, regardless. 

"Yes, he needs better supprt."

 

Jock strap?

[HumanSlinky39]

If Okposo doesn't call a players only meeting and this team doesn't come out with their hair on fire next game then this culture they claim to be building is just worthless word service. The talent is here. We've seen them pull off a bunch of really impressive wins over the last 13 months. Right now, they're broken mentally. Gut check time.

I'm also now fully convinced we need a legitimate veteran goalie to pair with Levi next year. UPL ain't it. No, not all of them are on him; but his rebound control is a major issue and his lateral speed/athleticism isn't good enough. That's not something that more "development" is gonna fix.
