I think when your entire team's existence is mired in mediocrity, and you're not being paid handsomely to support your team, it is "absolutely appropriate" for the fan base to react this way.

We deserve better. Plain and simple. 50 years in the NHL, 0-2 Stanley Cup Finals, 1 President's Trophy, and not much else.

Same with the Bills. They're an historically bad team. Somehow 2 AFL Championships (But this is like Leafs fans gloating about their Stanley Cup wins when there was only 6 teams and a 16% chance of winning every year), 0-4 in Super Bowls and a 403-462-8 record all-time.

Stop it. We are 100% justified in being fed up with this and calling out on it. I don't care what Terry Pegula is trying to do. I want results. We deserve results. We've put up with mediocre teams for too long.

Funny how in sports, it's perfectly acceptable to make excuses for career athletes doing their job poopty, but in real life, even a bad day at Dollar General can get you fired.

The Sabres were bad long enough to be better than this.

Housley's honeymoon is over. Its like a Vegas wedding in the Elvis chapel.

BLOW. IT. UP.

Eichel and Mittlestadt should be only untouchables. Clear as many of the long term deals as possible.

Get Dahlen in the 2018 draft.

100% justified in being fed up. Sure. 100% justified in saying we're awful and it won't change...probably not. Just two cents.

Teams rise and fall. The Leafs have no more Stanley Cups than we do in that much time...actually I believe they haven't even went to the SCF in 50 years. There are 8 teams who haven't won in at least 30 years, 12 franchises have never won since inception. Not trying to make excuses, we haven't been the best run team by any means, but Florida hasn't won a playoff series in 20 years...we aren't alone.

Its probably an early 2nd round pick...think of all the potential

You would keep onto Reinhart to pass up drafting a guy named Nando Eggenberger

I know we aren't alone but (frank) everyone else. I don't care about them. I'm not saying things won't change, just that they never have been different and 100% facts is we've traditionally been a poorly managed farm-team to the rest of the NHL.

Can't argue with that. Things should be better and this team should be having success by now. Long droughts at the draft have caused this team major issues.

I don't know, we have a cornerstone in Jack. Risto is not a bad defenseman despite what some will say. Botterill seems to understand value...here's to hoping things do change. Sorry if I misinterpreted your initial point there.

That's where you're wrong. We don't deserve a goddamn thing.

And your second mistake is thinking that professional sports and real life have anything to do with each other.

Under normal circumstances the vast majority of jobs are based on seniority. You don't have people with 2 years experience making the most money.

why put up with it then. why not cheer for another team?

what are your D pairings so far?

Risto and Scandella then a bunch of all dudes rotating in the 2nd and 3rd pairs?

The Bills, never.

The Sabres? Yeah, I've been a closet Blue Jackets fan for several years now. I love the Sabres but it's getting nauseating, honestly.

It's much easier for you to say if you're a Red Wings fan. Historically different than us. It's almost not even comparable.

Who's the one that signed that ridiculous 6 year $12M contract? Jarnkrok? I'll take him.

Poile must have some primo pee tapes on him to get him to sign that contract...

Players - couple small changes......Some players need to be shipped out! Change the players in the rooom.

NAME A CAPTAIN! Team needs a true leader....

Trade:
Reinhart, McCabe & 1st for Duchene (maybe Barrie added)

Bring up Gule, Ullmark and Nylander up (ROR needs something on his line)


**Moulson and Georges on waivers, than send to to Roch!

Homie, where is all the samson is going to be great? I'll call him "skunk" because everyone thinks he stinks. Lot's of defending him for the past few years. What's the opinion now? He is incredibly soft and is barely a nhl player. I'll hang up and listen
