They were thoroughly embarrassed and manhandled the ENTIRE game in Philly.

That was not the case tonight.

That being said, you can't blow a 3 goal lead.

Absolutely not... And Eichel made that perfectly clear

Is that the same Johansson that everyone was burying as recently as last year?
- Powerslave

not everyone



second best in the ahl this season

They were destroyed in that game. They were not destroyed tonight.

Wrong. Don’t blame Ullmark when he has done his part for this team. Don’t blame goaltending period. Trade for Price or Bobrovsky and nothing changes. This team will get better with time. This team is in the games but just need a few more pieces to be a serious contender. Lots of teams are in the same position

Why shouldn't he be criticized? He's among the weakest #1's in the NHL. Not his fault that he's forced into the job, but he does cost us games.

I (frank)ing hate being a Sabres fan. (frank) Botts. (frank) Kruger. I have never heard of another team heading into a season with 10 (frank)ing NHL D-men.

Guy says he needs to be careful to not be taken advantage of being a young GM in the league.. what poop. Then don't be a GM in the league. Come back in 5 years. Is it too much to ask for a guy who can make a (frank)ing trade for a (frank)ing forward?

Up 4-1 at home and lose. If that guy isn't on the phone right (frank)ing now then he should be kicked right out the (frank)ing window of his office suite.

right

Krueger was fired from Edmonton for a reason. The season was over in October and has never picked up. This is by far the worst team ever. Not because of talent, just lack of drive, movitation, and stamina. The good teams just toy with them. They let them win for awhile and then play hard and beat them at the end. This team has gone backwards from last year if you can believe that. It is too late to catch up now so keep tanking because there are a lot of good draft picks this year and when you have a GM who cannot make a deal then you have to rely on that. Being a Sabres fan since 1970 has been hard. All the other teams who have been added to the league have won cups or at least compete in the playoffs and now we got nothing. Thanks Kim Pagula for doing such a great job with this team. Maybe it is time to hire someone knows something about hockey because whatever we are doing now is just not working.

23rd in GA%, my go to measure. Really don't care what he's paid. At best, you can argue he's been average. You know you'd take 5+ guys below him too.

He was fired because they fired the GM and MacTavish wanted Dallas Eakins. Hope it doesn't play out like that again.

Yeah. No.

He was fired because the gm wanted to hire Eakins.

They've all said it was a big mistake.

- homiedclown

what an irrational thing to say....

I hate this franking team with the exception of Eichel.

You can’t lose being up 4-1

We have 10 D-men and none of them can actually play defense.

We have needed a #2 center for 2 years and nothing.

Renney demanded a lot from the players


what millionaire kid wouldn't want a laid back coach like kruger over renney


eakins was a huge mistake

Hey guys honestly....are we gonna post on 'garf' post now?

- Lunaion

rolston went 19-26-6 with a much worse roster then this


if kruger goes 3-7 in the next 10 games
20-24-7 with a much more talented roster

how many sabres sell it every night, vs goes through the motions


you can wake up and have malkin in his prime as the second line center


still don't have a "team"


this is lacking up and down our roster

pp
pk
defensive units
scoring or non scoring lines
discipline

work until the whistle, and you are a better team instantly


this team does not work
