something looks " off " with this team inuries aside. There game prep and game plan is very bad and we can't match up with other teams and that falls on the coaching staff.
- SABRES 89

They should have looked for a guy with a fresh perspective even if it meant no nhl experience. The obsession with saving face and hiring a "big name" was just dumb.

It seems Pegula has a problem building his pro teams

Okposo wasn't signed to be on the top line?
Kane wasn't traded for to score goals?
Reinhart wasn't drafted #2 to play top line.?
Moulson was given 5 mil a year to not play a top 6 role?

Ristolainen wasn't given a contract to be a top 2 defender?

On tampas second goal. The love affair with brian gionta kills me . He makes a bad play deep in the offensive zone short handed. Tampa had a 5 on 2. I havent seen to many 5 on 2 ever. The sabres just have alot of bad players. Murray rid the organization of alot of assets

I hate how you are so reasonable.

THIS!!!! They chose that time...shorthanded...to be "aggressive". Some veteran presence, cant recall one of the rochester forwards doing that.

I dont get the groundhog day references here so im countering with this:

Pegula screwed up big time. Russ brandon decimated the bills. Please people he ran the bills for 4 years. Buddy nix was a figure head. Brandon made all the moves. He was wilsons annointed son( hence 8 million on sale) is it consider incest if you sleep with a relative then? Whaley has been horrible,alot of bad deals. The bills are in salary cap jail with badddd football players. Rex ryan is a train rex.
The sabres,he should of cleaned house and fired regier right away. He should of gave a sobriety check to all personnel hires. The bills and sabres are only going to get worse. I know alot of you will laugh, we are in bad shape
Anyone want to know a great trivia question. Paul snyder and ralph wilson owned two sports teams in buffalo, what is the connection that russ brandon has to both? It might be the first time in history of sports

Lol, new game, same poop.

Even with an extension im not sure Murray would be able to keep his job. Nobody will admit but the only reason people haven't called for the GM/coaches head and or given away their tickets is because of Eichel. you remove that from the equation there is virtually no reason to watch this team. The guys being paid to excite simply arent doing it. 55 has been a more effective forward than Kane. That pretty much says it all
- Sabresfan-365

People haven't given up their tickets because they can't. I had bought tickets to this game a while ago. As luck would have it, the entire group I went with scored box seats. I couldn't give the original tickets away. It's sad.

I was there a few boxes away from good old russ brandon. He was laughing the whole game. They dont care. He is a loser and the organization follows his lead. Pegula wake up
- Buffalo39

A few boxes over? Either you were wearing a whisper 2000, or Russ Brandon laughs loud. Like really loud.

So the leafs were absolutely ridiculously bad What did they do ?

They have a bunch of rookies starting and some vets and wait there first overall pick is doing nothing but yet they're winning

So what's our excuse
- GERBE!!!75PTS

Take Marner, Kadri, Nylander, Gardiner and Polak off the leafs I'd bet the ranch they'd be right where we are. We aren't a contender, but no one was calling that. I think we were hoping to push for the playoffs and squeak in...you can't take the best players off those types of teams and expect anything else.

If Kadri, Gardiner, and Polak coming out of the Leafs lineup would cause them to sink in the standings, then you just proved what depth really is.

It seems we are starting all over again aren't we ( Darcy), Don't get me going on Rex he is nothing but a walking billboard of crap. Pegula still can't seem to figure this out can he.

Rhino tyler pennis stinks. Zach bogosian is a below average 5 million dollar defenseman. Evander kane couldnt score in a brothel with bandits money. Oreilly and eichel will not make a difference on making the playoffs. Girgensons,moulson,grant,gionta,franson,deslauriers,larsson,alot of the time foligno,gorges,they are really bad nhlers

Dont get me wrong,i like trying to be aggressive in deals. But when you identify evander kane(lockerroom cancer,bumhole,injury prone,) and zack bogosian as vital pieces in a blockbuster trade and it fails miserably. Murray needs to stop bada binging it

What's funny is we basically have the same roster set up as the leafs right now
Yet where the worst team in the league

They gave up a ton of assets,that could of been used in alot of other potential deals

Do you ever have anything positive to say? Even, "hey guys I took a great poop today!" would suffice, but you come in here take a steaming dump and then go away.

That doesn't answer the question though. If you took some of the best players off the Leafs squad they'd be neck and neck with us. You can't even deny it, but we're losing so we like to female dog...I get it, but it doesn't mean it's right.

Except the Islanders, Canucks, Coyotes. And we're tied with Colorado and Carolina.
