Huge booing and groaning and moaning.  That’s what the kids are learning.  
 

Can you imaging being a kid exposed to hockey at age 7 like I was.  Only now that kid is 20, and has still have never seen a good Sabres team.  

You know it's going bad when even Duff sounds exasperated rather than cackling at everything after a disastrous period.

Some D who can actually play D.  Adams needs to be fired immediately.

Lindy at the beginning of the season: “Our goal is to never lose two in a row”. 
 

…yikes. Welcome to hockey hell.

This might be permanent until we can somehow draft a superstar. No decent FA ever wants to come here. It’s an endless dead and toxic culture. The entire program is destroyed. Total embarrassment. 

Yep, the program has been destroyed for over a decade now.

Hammie on WGR right now talking about Power…”If you don’t hit, you’re never going to be any good in this town”.

FU…you aren’t any smarter than the fanbase.  

Fans should be ecstatic today then   Sabres are out hitting the Utah club 32-7

This is the yearly 8 to 10 game losing streak that sinks the season. Just in time to be out of it by Christmas. 

Good then maybe we can bring in Brandon Bean after the bills win a Super Bowl to simply sort out the personnel on this team in our prospect pool. I would bet a lot of money that Brandon Bean could do a better job of profiling the personality and emotional make up of our prospects than Kevin could do. Just based on natural instincts and feel. This is what has made the bills a winner in large part. Sean and Brandon know how to clock a person when they meet them and talk to them. Kevin is so wrapped up in his own ego that he just probably believes anything a prospect says during an interview.

People love those staged fights after a big hit. The Sabre was dumb to go. The big hit had temporarily tilted the ice and crowd mood in favor of Buffalo. The fight literally snuffed out the rally. It never returned. Smart play by Yutes.

[Believer]

Adams

”I’d go to war with these guys.”

Honestly?

I wouldn’t.

No wonder we don’t have palm trees here…..the soil is bad.  Who would have thought this possible when there is so much $hit around the team that could fertilize the wasteland.

It's crazy how many players have No Wasteland Clauses.  Kev is whining that these NWCs are killing us!

[Carmel Corn]

Cozens gave up on the 3rd Utah goal.  The “workhorse from Whitehorse” has now transformed into a lazy donkey a$$

We complained. But that dude put together some good teams with few resources.

No, I was talking about the rest of the coaching staff, which is what the question was more geared to yesterday, specifically the power-play struggling yet we have the same coaches.

Okay. So when does Ruff get responsibility for his staff? 

And do not take this as me advocating anything. I'm just asking if you realize you can't separate Ruff from his staff.

They still stink on home ice for the most part. as usual. They need a road trip in the worst way. Where they just play simple, time tested road hockey.  and it sometimes feels like the goaltending is better on the road too.

"Starting today, the Buffalo Sabres' reason for existence will be to become a farm team for other teams who want to win a Stanley Cup."

At the 2:00 mark I get a notification that Utah scores at 55 seconds. I thought this was live sportsnet.

Press your forward button to catch up if your playback is behind.  If that does nothing then its the satellite path to your TV and laws of physics will prevail.
