1000%. Could not agree more. They have made mistake after mistake and then compound that mistake with a worse decision than before. It’s a f ing train wreck on top of a plane crash

I mean how bad does it have to get, other than a few spurts here and there you have a lifeless team on the ice. I know they get paid good money and some of this falls on the players too, but take the blinders off.

Listen. They know more than you. You will watch this steaming pile of crap and you will like it. Uncle Terry is feeling the monetary squeeze. Ralph says the synergies aren’t exactly aligned just yet. But as soon as Ralph solidified skinner on the taxi squad, Tage as a fixture on line one and Okoposo up to line 2. Then you’ll see the synergy.

Ralph has to leave the 1970's and come to 2021 with his hockey synergy.

Ralph has to be “promoted” and they need to bring in Gallant.

I said before and I will say again, this team has all the talent in the world to win, what they lack is team toughness and Accountability to each other.

I never see hard work in the corners, Hardly ever see a scrum after the play or an energy guy make a big hit just to get his team jump started. I would not call what we have a Team, they a a bunch of good players skating out there.

i never thought I would say this, but this team misses Z's energy...

Yeah that would have been fun to watch. I always wished Terry would have fired Darcy instead of Ruff.

I know it was time for a change. But I just like Ruff.

Burke and Hextall would have been a godsend for us. Now that….is a culture shift.

But the Pegulas know best.

Wet1 doesn't think it would be a good idea to hire Brian burke.

He picked the *Sedin Twins and some other BS.


I'd hire both in a heart beat. Burke is a smart, respected hockey man. What the Sabres and fans need.

The Buffalo Sabres have been outscored a staggering 13-5 in the first period of contests this season.
In other words, the Sabres have been struggling through the first 20 minutes of games and falling behind early. That's a big contributing factor to their 4-6-2 start to 2020-21 and it was a problem again on Tuesday. The Sabres fell behind 2-0 to the Islanders in the first period en route to a 3-0 loss. “That's a storyline we need to stop,” coach Ralph Krueger said, referring to the Sabres' slow starts. Buffalo will attempt to come out stronger on Thursday against Washington.

NJ had themselves a decent game last night. Playing with a little heart sure goes a long way.

I heard the Sabres met with Dudley and were pretty close to hiring him as a "part time" advisor. Fell apart.

Met with Lindy Ruff, didnt want to pay big bucks....
Ruff and Adam's are very tight still.

Did you heard anything in regards to either "non hire"?


* Was Burke or hextall looked into too?
