Hence bottom of the league for a decade, are you missing something?
- washedup20


I am not missing anything. They want to get better sort term. How do you do that without signing decent bottom 6 veterans and trying to draft well for future top 6 players?

The last few gms tried to put young guys out that were not ready. Our depth is not good enough to sustain that, some teams can.

and kim and terry have never brought a sabres coach back for a third year
- homiedclown



It’s not like I enjoy this, it’s honestly pathetic how they consistently make poor decisions.

Now these Bills fans who suffered 30 years are saying just to be happy and things will eventually get better. I mean holy Christ what is in the water in Buffalo?


(Buffalo pizza is awesome, definitely the water)

Ok?

Not sure your point. They made extended playoffs (played more recently than Sabres) and have 3 (Sabres have 6) new players.

Is this short term better? I’ll wait for you to tell me eventually things will just fall into place....

So far nothing the Pegulas have done have made the team better. They have doubled there investment with the harbor center, which is what Terry is good at. They have failed at every other aspect of running an organization.

I know math. Yes. Spitting out your random record guess is something I should just know, when I was not even taking about this years end of season record? Sorry. I know words too, if you want to add those in.

Your last post said the best teams had the least turnover, the Canadians fired a coach in the middle of a decent season and added 6/7 new players to the roster this year and are in 1st place.

The charts I have seen have the Sabres playing better than last year (yes not enough wins). I’m sorry they have not improved. You can think about and watch something else if you would like. We all want them to be good, including the pegulas. If it was easy, every team would be good.

I only counted 3 new players, but forgot Allen (not sure goalies count as much as other players). So maybe 4. What players are new? Coaches being fired seem to help a team, if I can remember the Blues won the cup after a coaching change mid season. I was talking about players. Sorry.

Ok, better. Yes, very disappointing. It must be only him. What was their record in the 62 games before Ralph? Did Ralph control players going to AHL and NHL last year?

So the Pegulas ruin an organization I root for and I should just throw my hands up and say I’ll just move on with my life.

This reasoning from a city that endured 30 years of suffering poor football. Should all those fans just give up and move on?

You’re lack of passion is exactly what Krueger and the Pegulas are hoping for. It’s been a train wreck for the Pegulas and the problem lies directly on them.

Edit: the butt numbers say the Sabres are good, I’m comfortable at my desk so things will be ok.....one loss away from bottom of the standings, again.
