Cause he's still a young player who can make defensive gaffs and they are serious about winning. 3rd and 4th lines are where the young guys still learning should be. You're just not used to common sense real hockey teams 😉

 

True. However I watch enough NHL to know what I see more often than not by the Sabres is FUBAR.  It’s why you never see me advocate for Kulich or Benson in the top six.

So we hear something today? Atleast that they are about to meet. Give us Marty Wilford’s head on a platter at the very least😁

Funny thing is they know we are waiting and they know where we are... and they know we are just gonna sit there for no reason... and they are laughing... I think this is hysterical to them... Hey Kev, look at those dorks waiting for us... lol....  wanna get out for a quick 9 ? Absolutely, TP, it is what we are best at it's never too early to begin preparing for playoff time next year!

The fact that the GM & staff (minus Ruff) has failed 5 seasons in a row and there was not a single firing when the season ended is alarming. May not be surprising but definitely alarming.

Were is the accountability talk this year?  Last year Adams blamed Granato, and he even had players repeating the mantra.  

This year is it  conditioning?  and what else?  better goaltending and/or better defense?  better special teams?  coming together sooner?   

Everything but the truth - the roster is not good enough, the coaching is not good enough, the experience and leadership is not there. 

Missing the playoffs hurts more than just lost revenues.  The team can't learn and grow together when they NEVER make the playoffs. 

Adams' deliberately slow plan, based on saving your payroll (salary cap) to sign only your own drafted players has become self defeating.

It's just so sad to be a fan of this team. Lamoriello and Sullivan hired into this organization would not only have them in the playoffs next year, they would probably be a true contender in 2.

Why am I getting so angry by the silence? Why do I care this much?

We can pretend the Sabres were one of the 5 teams.😁

Lamoriello... no. 

Sullivan, yes.

This Bills draft is taking a really long time 🙂

Because you are in an abusive and toxic relationship... like us all...
