No accountability. Can't wait for 14 seasons! Thanks Terry!
The players need to pull up their Huggies and get on with it
You could have misinterpreted that outside noise comment. He could have been referring to everyone saying they were going to be good before the season, so they assumed they were already good enuf. Dahlin even said something to that effect in some post game interview.
As I posted in the scrolling side chat moments ago: If one such as George Steinbrenner were to own the Sabres, would HE put up with this slipshod excuse for "effort" on a constant basis? If you remember his history well, you'd KNOW that by now!
13 years is the average lifespan of a dog, the Sabres could of got a dog mascot in 2011 and it would of already had its full life and the Sabres didn't make the play-offs that dogs entire lifetime.
Granato's job is safe because the owner is oblivious and Adams doesn't have the balls to fire his friend.
STAMKOS IS A FREE AGENT. BUYOUT SKINNER AND SIGN STAMKOS TO A 3 YEAR CONTRACT. GIVE HIM WHATEVER HE WANTS IN $$$$$.
Why don’t you wear a Sabres hoodie?
HELL, to the NO, on Lindy Ruff!
Just a reminder that they made a skate 4 before Sabres made the playoffs
At what point does the NHL actually look at this and put pressure on getting things turned around or they'll have to step in? I know that might seem extreme, but if I am running a league and see that a small market that certainly can bring in ratings against competitors is in a never-ending doomspiral and the owner isn't turning it around, I'd want to step in and get some answers.
Please stop shilling for fanduel
They need a coach that stops making excuses for all of the no show games. No player is coming here to save this organization. These guys got to grow some balls. I would bring in Joel Quenville.
our drought is now, officially a teenager at 13!
I Think Sabers Need Coach Changes
The Sabres aren't a bad hockey team. They sometimes beat good teams convincingly. But the Sabres are a weak team that has a psychological fear of success. Last year they were in a playoff spot for one day and they promptly fell apart . This year they faced a crucial road trip and collapsed. In the darwinian environment of the NHL weak teams get eaten. Heaven help us 🙏 😢
Appointing Appert as HC would be the same thing as appointing Rolston the HC. Brind’Amour is having troubles with Waddell. Also Adams is very good friends with Rod. If that’s not possible bring back Nolan.
While they are not a horrible team, they seem to favor a No accountability culture. I agree… Mental weakness. Ask Mitts about the difference between the Sabres and Colorado and he will set it straight. Yes, Granato and Adams should take a long vacation. Bring in Berube, Coach Q, Lindy…??? I am all ears
No sex before Home games, and no sex if you lose the girls have to put their foot down.
Lost both games to the DUCKS !!
Give up a couple prospects and our one and get a star with character. Maybe Brady tchuck
Bring back Lindy.
Need to be gone – both coaches as soon as possible
, Thompson , Skinner, Oloffson , Robinson
Comon were knocking ,the last 2 seasons,we need like you said,bring in Drury ,Kevyn has to see this if we do ,I think this year we know we have a goalie for next season ,we need to sign some skilled players with a zen about him Bring Rhino back would be a good start
