He is a relentless meddler who has financially restricted the Sabres because he believes they can do it with less.

The city of Buffalo is cursed! This team is completely lost and have no answer at all. 
The only reason why the Bills aren’t in the same boat is because of Allen but as much as everyone wants to see them win it all it isn’t going to happen until they upgrade the defense.

Not sure how much more people can take watching this ***** Sabres team. Power is way too soft and getting paid more than he deserves. This team should have grown as a team the last couple of seasons but this is as bad as the tank for McDavid.

Kyprios and the rest of the leafs broadcast crew are going to have to pick some pubes outta their teeth the way they’re blowing the leafs. You’re playing the Sabres. The friggin ghastly terribly inept Sabres.

So he’s the Dan Snyder of the NHL.

If getting curb-stomped at home by a 80-20 Leafs crowd doesn't evoke change, then nothing will. It will remain status quo the rest of the year

I don’t know, maybe when they hit the 20 loss in a row mark

Guys we support this team no matter what, but this is dogshit.

Fans booing is fans caring, fans walking away is the worst.

Will KA be the first GM to do a sneaky tank on what should be the tail end of a rebuild ? I personally think he should be shitcanned but its genius level team building. Nobody even suspects it.

 

Joking

[Huckleberry]

Even fans of our most hates teams feel bad for us, that is how much this team been sucking for almost 2 decades.

[Pimlach]

Ok, 3rd period.  I doubt they can come back but let’s go give it shot.  Win the period at least.

That was the best, most crisp pass I’ve seen from Tage in a long time. 
 

It just went to the wrong team. 

[LGR4GM]

These announcers drunk?

You kind of have to been when watching the sabres.

[Huckleberry]

When you give up on players, the second one I would have wanted back for sure.

[LGR4GM]

This team might not win another game. This is a death spiral. 

[Slack_in_MA]

The funny/sad thing is that now, teams will actually be focused coming into a game against us, in that "we don't want to be the team that loses to the Sabres".

[Huckleberry]

I don't get this 5-2 behing, play with some freaking passiong, crash everything in your way, bulldoze the ***** out of them.

They don't have that in them.

Pegula’s biggest failing to this organization has been vets.

He has refused to hire a vet NHL guy to run this franchise as President or GM. Every GM has been a first time hire and Adams had no FO experience whatsoever.

on the ice they have not paid to bring in quality vets to allow the kids to develop. This team needs 2-3 Zucker types up front and a couple more on the backend. They have not supported Power at all with a proper vet D partner to guide him. 
 

The assistant coaches wouldn’t be hired anywhere else.

That is Pegula's impact on the franchise and why they continue this cycle of losing.

Until they they hire a better hockey man up top nothing will change and nothing will matter.

Zach Benson should sue the NHL/WHL for the rule that prevents him from going to Rochester
