Power might be the worst number one pick of all time. 

He's not... But he's still not a good #1.

They have to trade Power, right?

Adam’s said 31 GMs would be in line for him.  That was wise crack number 3 or 4, I forget.

That game Friday is going to be 90% Leafs' fans at least 

Any fan that chooses to NOT sell their tickets to a Leafs fan and shows up in a Sabres jersey and cheers the Sabres on.....anyone who does that should be entered into a drawing for free season tickets and an award for fan of the decade.

I cannot believe this is our team. One of the best hockey cities in the world. And this is our team. 

When your owner treats you like a poverty franchise , this is want you get

Terry is worth $12 Billion, the 200th wealthiest man in the world and he nickel and dimes the Sabres

I am going to have some "herbal supplements"  this intermission and be ready to fully enjoy the 3rd

[SwampD]

It’s so bad that Duff just gave the wrong score going to break. Uh, it’s 6-1 not 5-1.

😂

Or put in a mental institution 

[K012010]

The worst part is that they have put us in a position where we are forced to make it more likely that our team could possibly ever leave the city. People can say oh well if you don’t show up, that’s the risk but we don’t have a product that is worth any sort of energy or our money. I don’t think most of us would actually go to the arena if somebody paid us at least at this point.

So it’s just another strike against the current regime that they’ve made us so disillusioned we are going to put our own team at risk.

Hear me out: a Sabres Patreon where you pay and get to listen in on the daily calls between Adams and Pegula. You can hear Adams gravelling and sucking up to Oegula and telling him all his ideas are great. I picture a Mr Burns-Smithers type relationship.😜

[Carmel Corn]

Every single Sabre is playing as if they are hoping to get traded tomorrow.  They’ll be disappointed that their tanking effort tonight will not succeed though

I think every time I watch the Sabres take the ice. It really just becomes clear that he got very lucky with Beane and Sean McDermott. And obviously I’m grateful for that luck, but it really is due to luck and not due to Terry’s ability to discern who is a good GM and Coach and who isn’t

Haha I could see that

Geez.. Laine is only 26?  Seems like he’s been in the NHL for 15 years AND he looks 39

What are the chances that Lindy simply resigns tonight and HC in waiting Appert takes over….just a season or so earlier than TP planned?

That’s genuinely what it looks like because what else could they be trying to achieve? Firing Ruff? Getting Kevin fired? Why they’ve been paid and they’re not really at risk of being sat. No they want to get traded and hope that the Sabres pay for their contract on the way out.

The sheer volume of comments on this game, losing 6-1 after 2, represents a cathartic emotional release. The Pegula pep talk narrative has insured it. A corner has been turned. Pegula better be doing some soul-searching fast, because he was emphatically wrong, and there is no coming back.

Wouldn't you want to pair him with a legit dman before you discard him? 
still 2nd in points 5v5 by a dman.  So it's not like it's all bad.   
it's completely on Adams for not insulting him with an actual NHL level D core. 
he should not be killing penalties at this time. 

[zow2]

I saw Buffalo trending on X and it’s not the Bills.  The guns are pointed their way. 

[Pimlach]

I feel bad for UPL.  I am sure Lindy will put Reimer in. 

I think the owners visit didn’t help.   Who visits their team in the road, especially in the current circumstances?   Seems like disrespectful interference.  

A clumsy attempt at leadership for sure.  

[SwampD]

Do we score again?

Do they get a snowman or even higher?

It’s honestly possible. Lindy cannot turn this around. It’s over.

Yeah i would if i were him.  He didn’t sign up for this.  He came back to get them over the final hump, and they are completely going the other way.

Yes but where would they be without Josh?
