it was the biggest collapse by any nhl team ever, the last 45 games

EVER

they quit, flat out quit

- homiedclown


They sucked, they flat out sucked.

They over-performed like crazy and then the lack of anything resembling a competent middle-6 caught up with them, coupled with poopty coaching, gaps all over the defense and spotty goaltending. You can continue your hate parade against Eichel, but that roster sucked hard.

in what world is that roster good enough to make the playoffs

Super Secret #Sabres Source Skinner Update - “I think $72 gets this done. Sabres at $66-68 but gap closing.”

There's no way this doesn't get done, half a mill a season makes no difference

1.) Assemble poopty roster with 4 good pieces
2.) Team sucks
3.) Blame good players
4.) Run good players out of town
5.) Rinse & Repeat

Your contention, that you're now choosing to ignore, that the sabres were good enough to make the playoffs based on the roster is preposterous.

You've also spent the morning taking shots at Eichel, and saying things like "his NTC kicks in soon."

It's not hard to see that what you're doing here is exactly what you did with ROR

When doctors force-feed you prescriptions drugs to stop the intense pain caused by a work-related injury, you lose your ability to reason. Addiction is a disease. Even people with the strongest willpower fall victim to addictions.

Our society is an absolute joke for punishing instead of rehabilitating these people.

The prescription drug industry and the doctors who shill out their opioids is quite possibly the biggest threat to the American way of life right now and everyone has their heads collectively up Donald Trump, Robert Mueller, Nancy Pelosi's asses.

Americans are so out of touch an emotionally redundant.

It makes me sad how most of the people in this country act. Vicious sociopaths who will stomp a baby to get a dollar and people are "Yo that's capitalism bruh"

Morons.

No, actually I wouldn't.

Who are the Dolphins playing? The Eagles, perhaps? Now THAT'S a fanbase that should collectively be set on fire.

There are always reasons to cheer for certain teams.

I happen to respect the hell out of the B's. That organization knows how to win. They draft well, develop well, play smart, tough hockey. You know when you put on the B, you're going to play your ass off. I respect that. And, honestly, I admire it.

This is a good post.
Dare we say they have a winning CULTURE?

he did make a post using a fag reference, HE POSTED THAT ON SOCIAL MEDIA, NOT ME

he does have a clause in his contract where NMC kicks in, THAT'S A F@CKING FACT


the kid needs to mature a little and play a little D

So Skinner gets done it sounds like

So lets move on to what else can and should be done to improve this roster

This is something that I think can be realistic:

Dude, you're the ultimate poop stirrer, and when you get called on it, you go "who, lil ol' me?"

At least own it instead of getting defensive

Agreed, this is realistic. I think a lot of fans would want more, but I think this reflects approximately what Botts is likely to do. Good job.

I think with the injuries on the blue line there isn't going to be any major moves there even though I would like to see more.

But I think getting some good depth players and production from the rookies they're a playoff team.

Whomever they draft at 7 will be important in a year or two to this team.

They could move the late first if they find a deal they like

This entire paragraph is a gross assumption.

Just because you "make millions" doesn't mean you "have millions". Nor does it mean you have proper medical care or familial support.

He was in violation of his contract because he was addicted to prescription pain-killers, wasn't sleeping and was in a state of delirium. Both his employer and his union failed him.

It's not acceptable, what the team did to him and how the NHLPA didn't fight it.

It screams of dirty money and greased pockets.

- BeadyEyedDouche


This is a bad take.

The Sabres emp,oyed him for all of 5 months. The Blues had him for years and years.
He didn't want to be traded, the Blues did that to him on the sly when HE did not comply with the terms of his M-NTC. The BLUES screwed him hard.
The Sabres were taken advantage of by the Blues as well.
Yet the Sabres are the bad guy here.


It us like the Official who grabs the arms of the guy abso.utely getting hammered in a fight, to stop said fight.
You have the wrong Team in your cross-hairs.
