Honestly, if you treat it more like an entertainment source and less like a meaningful part of you, it doesn’t hurt at all.

It’s like the middle Star Wars trilogy is playing right now.  At some point there will be a Rogue One and you can buy in then.

Toxic and disappointed and just whatever, growing numb. 

Being old it's near impossible to switch teams and so it feels like a toxic trap because I just don't see how next year will be any different than this year and on it goes. My optimism is gone as they just pass up opportunities and basically just don't do much of anything to change things.

I dont know if there is anything that could be done with this team. I have no idea where the problem is...

 

Is it the GM being a loser?

Is it the HC just too old to get these guys to play?

Are the players mostly garbage?

Is Pegula not allowing the front office to spend money?

Is it all of the above?

[Stoner]

All of the above?

I'm bummed out/disappointed that the Sabres suck, but it doesn't really impact my life that much.  For me, it's a little bit more than entertainment, as I played hockey and grew up attending and watching Sabres games (with my father, grandfather, brothers, and friends), so there are some sentimental ties to the team that I wouldn't have to an actor or movie, but I still enjoy my life, my job, and my family and just accept that my favorite hockey team is terrible.

This team is ###### psycho, man. But, they're my mate, so what can you do?

It's like being gaslight on a daily basis, but it's either them or no team. What kind of choice is that!? 

 

I don't like the makeup of this team, I think they're soft. But I'm not sure it's on the individual players, someone with some hockey acumen from above is paid to make these decisions.

I feel that nothing changes until Terry sells. And it’s so sad

On one hand, if I look at it as Lindy’s first year, I should be filled with optimism. They have fixed their first period issues, they are now number four in five on five scoring, number eleven in goals per game and are the youngest team in hockey. They should be able to fix the lingering issues.

 

On the other hand, it feels like I’ve said the same thing since Adams took over and I have come to believe he has no idea how to take the extra parts and turn them into a true team instead of a collection of prospects and young talent.

 

And all of this is further diminished by the belief that the owner still hasn’t proven that he will do whatever it takes to end this cycle.

 

And finally, I can’t believe that a sixty five year old guy living a fairly blessed life still gives a damn and just wasted another five minutes thinking enough to write this.

I love hockey, I love my, our Sabres.

That being said, I feel I’ve licked a poopy flavored lollipop these past 14 years or so.
