The team is leaderless, soft and heartless!

I expect more of the same tonight!

the fell victim to extreme hubris...posted a convincing 6-1 win in phillydelphia and thought that they were on their way...it was tough last season in the atlantic, it's even tougher this year in the east

I would ship out Hall right now.
- SABRES 89

I was just a teenager when the Sabres broke into the league in the 70's.

They had some very exciting teams early on.

How they have morphed into this current team 50 years later is beyond comprehension!!

if we're going full bore rebuild:

skunk
hall
staal
risto

between now and the deadline...the haul would be more than enough to jumpstart the rebuild and move immoveable contracts like skinner and/or okposo (although i'd ride the last two years of okposo's contract out)

would you trade jack this summer?

i'm leaning that way...

full purge

cozens is a great building block, along with dahlin

maybe it's the money they make now, vs say 40 years ago

I honestly do not see any likeable players on this team

I mean ullmark seems like he would be ok


a bunch of stiffs



where are the marty's the folignos

mike ramsey would drop a one liner like peter jacobson

For me it depends on when you ask me.

Last season he had moments of greatness and I would have been sick to see him go.

This season is entirely different. WTF is going on with him??

I say if you can get that "haul" then go for it. Before things get worse and the return gets worse.

if doing the full purge it has to be the coach and gm also.
otherwise why bother

summer of 2022 his NMC kicks in


I am all for moving him


and I thought he was the most improved player in the nhl last year

So Montour and McCabe look to be in the lineup tonight. I would keep Borgen in and sit Miller
- Buff36

Irwin by far and away is the number one player to sit, and maybe never see the NHL ice again unless they only have 5 other defensemen with a pulse available.

agreed...

which is probably why it won't happen

and his play ain't helping joker either

I've always said that players from all leagues should be paid a equal base salary along with some pretty hefty incentives. You would then see all players give their all.

Agree 100%

- Michael Pachla

agreed but we are not in last place in the division because of the irwins, jokers etc

it's much bigger then that

Will Borgen who looked absolutely competent will be 28 before getting 100 NHL games despite being in an organization with so few good defensemen.

The team is infuriating

you want to cheer for the josh allens

the diggs
the tre whites
the ed olivers
the harrison phillips
etc


they come across as likeable guys




none of the sabres come across as likeable

more like robotic losers

absolutely...ralph needs to figure it out: “When we score one goal with the lineup we have here at home, it’s not enough,” coach Ralph Krueger said. “We definitely have an expectation of being able to produce three to four goals a game — at minimum — with our group. So, it’s back to the drawing board.”

no sh!t, sherlock

IMO you move both of them before the deadline no matter what

might as well

We talking about the Buffalo Beauts

go on...

the only sabre in the 80's that I know was not likable was barrasso

he was a tool

I am sure there is more


at first I thought it was the euro culture, like spacek and tallinder

they just came across as stiffs

yeah you had a teppo or a max


the current group, none have the wow factor
the I want to pay to see that guy

I want my kid to grow up to be like that guy



maybe I am missing something

The problem is that the defense (and really the team at large) is built to play a tempo game. Ralph has the e brake on and the team is trying redlining in first gear to get moving
