Best post of the entire season....
- gordong

I don't think that I am wrong but....it's okay if I am.

but they are 2 of our middle 6

playing with erod who has above average production for the last 2 seasons of any 3rd liner


sheary, who did have 41 goals in the last 2 seasons

maybe it is all coaching

I think it's somewhere in the middle

* coaching is definitely something I feel is letting us down.

* coaching is something that is projecting the islanders forward.

other then saying eichel went pointless for 5 games


when have I said anything bad about jack in the last month?


I havn't



I think matthews is better, not a dig against jack, I think jack is a great player
I should be allowed to think a player is better then Jack
- homiedclown

I hope he gets paid like he’s better than McDavid

Correct, imo.

Wrong.

Expectations differ on sam.

I've finally realized sam is what he is.

An nhl player
We have very few of them on our nhl team

I hope he gets paid like he’s better than McDavid

common ground, unless the sabres offer sheet him

the first season I remember was 70-80
losing to the islanders in the semi finals
wait til next year


80-81 laying an egg to the stars, wait til next year

park in ot game 7 wait til next year

virta leaving to play in europe, wait til next year

2 straight years getting owned by quebec, wait til next year

then blah years


then pierre, losing every series, every time wait til next year


then trade for patty, 1 playoff series win


then the hasek era
lose the semi finals to caps, wait til next year
lose the finals, wait til next year
goal counts that misses the net vs the flyers, wait til next year
f@ckin pen scores in otm wait til next year

dom bolts, team goes bankrupt

then wait a few years

then post lockout, lose semis, wait til next year
win presidents trophy, wait til next year
darcy f's up briere and drury, wait a few years later

then it's excuse after excuse for 12 more years

the younger generation hasn't had to live that way

Excellent post homie.

You took me back....
and it hurt.

I was called an unintelligent 5 year old. I have an undergrad degree from one of the top 100 universities in the entire world. I obtained a really good entry level job at a bank with a girlfriend who is getting her masters of nursing. How’s your 5 year old doing ?

I'm sincerely impressed.

Congratulations.

Elie May assigned to Rochester. Party on..

I agree with all of this.
He coached at a high school here in Minnesota about ten mins from me in Stillwater. When we hired him every hockey person I talked to laughed. I was unanimously told that he was terrible even at the high school level. He’s a joke.
- TheHank

unfortunately I have little doubt of this now.... Now will botts have the stones to make a change this off season, or are we going to waste yet another year....

I have no doubt that Phil is a perfect assistant coach....\

cant wait for the board to explode when x players gets called up...

I don't have a "3 year old son", thank God.
🤣
That's my youngest GRANDson of my 3 GRANDchildren.

I do have children, 6 of them.
Ages 34 -19
3 boys and 3 girls

I've been around a couple 5 6 7 blocks.
- Over50

Point proven sir, you know I meant grandson but you made an effort to point that out, including an emjoi that could have been seen as demeaning to my character. However you were able to read between the lines and infer that your 3 your old grandson wasn’t a problem on the Sabres roster as contructed.

In other words, I hope that I can have a big beautiful family like yours someday. I also recognize I haven’t been “around the block” and I respect your opinion of the Sabres futility over the past 40 years and what worked and didn’t work. I hope Botts can change that. Have a good day.

I'm sincerely impressed.

Congratulations.

Anytime somebody tells me what school they went to and what degree they got, I feel like they're admitting they don't sound smart enough when they simply talking in the conversation.

That's a fair shot. But the truth is, no. I was (frank)ing with you that night.


I went to college in ohio

(frank) the patriots.

Fowler just made an 8 in Phoenix. Getting interesting.

Edit: they changed it to a 7.

He's top 3 for me.

I'd say both PS.

I love this team.

I have a 15' x 18' addition on my home that is entirely blue and gold that is of course devoted to the Sabres.

Ric friggin Seiling...I remember the eye injury thingy back in 1982 I think?

His game suffered severely after that.
