Can we set up an open boycott or something, strike like, picketing in the Plaza, something to really embarrass Terry. 

Outside of something that erroneous, I don't see this changing....and that breaks my heart. 

That team last night was not fun to watch, they were not good, and they just crushed any hope of them having "it" for upcoming seasons.

I think people need to not renew season tickets.

May be time for the League to step in and insist Pegula make a changeā€¦ Give him a short list of GM candidatesā€¦

Unless they want Buffalo to fail so Pegula sells the team and the Sabres are moved.

Expand  

This is why we are in this mess. The league suggested both Murray and Botterill and Pegula now doesnā€™t trust any hockey people so refuses to bring in qualified hockey people.

Its an absolute joke at this point.

I think that new COO they brought in is in for a really rude awakening with ticket sales for next season.

Id rather see this to end the season though than missing by a point again and convincing themselves that running it back is the right move.

Teams have these blow out losses from time to time. I'm not overly concerned about it. After all, we've known for a good portion of this season what this team was.

I guess the focus I have, or at least the question I'd like answered is when does this actually end? Over dozen years and counting, really quite amazing it appears to have no end in sight as of now.

Expand  

This is where Iā€™m at. Iā€™m not upset by a game 71, 6-3* loss in Edmonton. Iā€™m frustrated that our loss in game 71 all but ends our slimmest of playoff hopes and that we are now 13 years into this.

There have been times this year, even last night in moments, where you can see how it all might fit together as soon as next season. But then there are moments where we seem still so far away. Last night in the 3rd period was like watching men against boys. It seems we are further than a year away from this group collectively ā€œputting it all togetherā€.  And yet there seems no urgency on the part of ownership or management to move this along at a quicker pace. 

*Oh goodness, it was 6-3 when I shut it off.

Dear Terry, Kevyn, and overrated coach 

Our system this year was to have a bunch of 20-25 year olds and then a few veteran 4th liners and 3rd line D-men who were slow and did nothing 

 

MAYBE FOR A CHANGE MAKE A TRADE FOR SOME GOOD FIRST LINE PLAYERS LIKE WE DID 20 OR SO YEARS AGO. THAT ALMOST WON US THE CUP TWICE 

 

Sincerely, 

Possible future leafs fan

He's on cruise control with the Bills selling out but at what point do you tell your owner of a failing hockey team " It's all up to you ".   COO is a business manager and he can only do so much if the product is substandard.

Stat of the day - the Buffalo Sabres have now gone 4714 days without playing in a playoff game and are basically eliminated from playoff contention now. Whether they make it or not next year, that number will be over 5000.. and fans still show up to support this

I certainly hope you don't think we're in the midst of a run it back trick. Not to go all nfreeman, but they are 4-5-1 in their last 10 games.

Expand  

No I meant like be tricked as fans into thinking running it back makes sense

and I wouldn't worry too much about that. I am sure if you want to attend a Sabres game next season, it won't be hard for you to get good seats should you choose to do so. They'll be available.

Last night in the third period it was men against boys. Quite literally. The youngest team in the league against the oldest team in the league. If anyone doesnā€™t believe that there is where the problem is I have a bridge to sell you. That third period was an embarrassment. From a coaching standpoint Donnie had no answers.KAs experiment of waiting for the kids to grow in the nhl as opposed to the ahl like most teams is a failure. This team and its coaching staff have proven that. Sure have some kids but you have to have veterans in leadership rolls. Next season we could be younger. I might be wrong but the mix on this team is obviously fukced.

Skinner (9 million per) played 11 minutes. 
 

Weā€™re not winning anything or going anywhere so long as he is on the roster.  
 

One of your most skilled and highest paid players cannot be one of your laziest.  
 

He doesnā€™t deserve to be singled out - but this dynamic is such a massive problem imo.  

Expand  

The biggest pressing problem this hockey club has isn't Jeff Skinner. It is the same problem plaguing this club for the past few years. Piss poor coach and GM!!!! Get a decent hard line coach in here who holds Skinner accountable for his ice time and maybe he becomes a better player. No coddling or excuses. A GM who can make hard decisions as well as backing the coach regarding on ice accountability, and maybe these high draft picks actually amount to something in this organization. Watched the Avalanche game the other night and the media were talking up Casey Middlestadt and how he has fit right in despite not scoring much. Funny how when these players depart and become "something" in other organizations.

The Bills fans Iā€™ve talked to arenā€™t happy about PSLs. Weā€™ll see how many losses to the Chiefs it takes for there to be no more good will.

Exactly, a lot of my frustration stems from the fact that I am throwing money into a burning garbage can year after year.

I'm going to go against the grain and say that Pegula does clean house after the season.

Both of his previous GM firings were a surprise, and before he canned Krueger, some were lining him up for an executive job.  But Terry swung the ax.  He's actually good at firing people.  Sucks at hiring them, but excels at firing them.

As for the new COO, hopefully he's contemplating WWJD (what would Jordan do).

Expand  

He only fired Boterill because he would not do the Covid cost cutting to maintain the family lifestyle.

The important thing for the players is to have them brush off the 3rd period.

Yes, the season is over (and has been over since the Sabres let Detroit break their losing streak). Go play a great game in Calgary anyway. Play for UPL and get him on track with another 2-goal, +.900% quality start.
