For your entire existence here there hasn’t been any successes, so how would you know?

That is true 😞

I have seen a couple playoff runs but nothing of note lol

Is anyone else enjoying the Rangers drama?  Losing 5 of 6.  Players turning on Drury.  Good stuff.  The eastern conference is wide open right now.

"Players were reportedly really upset that Chris Drury had leaked to reporters his desire to move on from the core. The Rangers have responded by getting humiliated in nearly every game since. The players are not making compelling arguments to keep them together. They are getting outworked, out-skilled, most times outshot, and are going through the motions out there"

Yep. Popcorn tastes so much better when watching a good drama.

With losses most likely coming up to Avalanche and Jets, they could be 7 points from 8th within a few days. It's almost too late to even make a trade that would turn this season around. I think Adams gets fired, Buffalo drafts in top 5 and the full rebuild starts at the trade deadline.

I doubt even we’d be stupid enough to tack on ANOTHER long form rebuild, here..but who knows

Very likely; however his recent post would merely mean 3 to 5 more years of rebuilding and that is unacceptable and I don't honestly want to hear it.

 

 

I'm not entirely sure how one takes it out on a team besides being annoyed or angry at them. In the end there are 3 things, in order, that are non negotiable.

1. Sabres stay in Buffalo 

2. Sabres are a great team (more a desire but only secondary to their literal existence)

3. Fans aren't wholesale negative (It will never not get on my nerves how a small number of posters only chime in when the team is doing bad or struggling yet are completely silent when they look good)  

Tbf I don’t know who really falls under category 3

I do find the “Sabres fans are never happy” line of thought kinda unintentionally hilarious. I mean, yes? Maybe we should try out the theory by actually fielding a playoff team lol

Also, Sabres will beat the stank Jets.

Tokarski signed by Canes

I just came across this story on TSN.  Hopefully he has enough money now to get a new mask.

I understand the point but it also paints a very bad picture of a poster when they never appear happy to have any success. It has a great deal to do with perception and an incomplete PoV of every other poster.

I get that. The internet does paint a very black and white view of things and tends to make it look like you are all one way or the opposite. You don't really know the people on the other end. If any of us were talking about it in a coffee shop or bar or even in our living rooms watching the game we'd have much different views of each other.

Eric Comrie revenge game incoming

Normally, this is definitely a backup goalie game for Winnipeg, but they're losers of 4 in a row and have ceded their division lead to Minnesota.

It should be a Comrie revenge game, but it could very easily be a Hellebuyck get-right shutout game.

If hockey worked more like boxing, San Jose would be the current champions.
