I really want to know what happened to Scandella. Wasn't he decent in Minnesota? Then decent here just playing above his role?

He's been flat out awful this year. Housley might not bench him, but he started on the top pair and has lost a lot of ice time.

Hank Tallinder was also the only one who could make Myers look good

I want to see Housley, Payne and Hajt gone at the end of the season.

Ok folks here it goes................ The Sabres got a " come to Jesus moment" from Botterill this morning. He told them that what he has seen is completely unacceptable at this stage of the season and is embarrassment as a team and organization. He told them that if " you don't want to be here, you won't be", and that goes for coaches as well. Botterill will be meeting with Pegula this week.

LOOSE FOR HUGHES. ANY ATTEMPT TO MAKE THE LAST WILD CARD SPOT IS FRUITLESS.

Thanks 89 for the info. It is unacceptable and embarrassing. He needs to act NOW. I'm getting grumpy in my old age and the fans deserve better. It truly sucks. Too many years of crap. Fire somebody, trade somebody.

Maybe he knows specifically which players or coaches don't want to be here. Clean house.

He has a plan I was told and is very disappointed and pissed off however, he still won't fly off the handle and make deals just to make them. We have enough bad deals that were made. He has to change the culture once again because he know's this isn't working and is very frustrated as to why. Can't keep pointing the finger at the players, with the way the CBA and players contracts now are going it's hard to move certain players and stay competitive, the blame and accountability has to come from coaches as well.

Thanks for the info, 89. It took too long to happen, but at least Botts seems somewhat concerned with the trajectory of this team. I guess Elie was one who didn’t want to be here? Bowl-u next?

I hope no nachos or tacos were made to suffer on account of the team’s failures.

Sounds like a “wake the frank up” moment. Thanks for the insight.

I don't think he didn't want to be here it's just he's not fitting in here.

It's past the " wake the F up" moment. Eichel has to answer for this after every game and they are tired of seeing it. He shouldn't have to but he's trying to be a good leader and Captain by trying to word his after game comments correctly.

Anyone have any word on why Hutton was not at practice today?

It’s the buffalo stink that has permeated him

Hunwick and Larsson not there as well.

Two more who just don’t want to be here.

Beaulieau makes three, Sobotka probably as well.

With Larsson out might make sense to bring up O'Regan and either Smith or Olofsson
- mattmoulson

It'll be Wilson. The move has been coming for weeks.

Hunwick and Larsson not there as well.

They said Larsson is injured. Hunwick is probably trying to figure out why he’s not playing since he is a veteran.

Hutton didn’t show his face. Sheary can’t be happy going from perennial contender to perpetual tanker.
This has to be taking a toll on Jack as well.

Really appreciate the info 89.

Jack is doing is best with answering for this team. I think the culture is changing but:

1) It isn't there yet.
2) It's closer than it was before.

I REALLY hope they just stay the course and not engage in crazy deals.

Joel Q for coach??????

Complete SWAG on my part.

Polar opposite of Housley.

I think if the culture were truly better, GMJB would not feel the need to bring the team AND coaches together to yell at them.
