What a decade by the Buffalo Sabres
- 787 games
- 453 Losses
- 2 Playoff appearances
- 8 consecutive seasons without playoffs (and counting)
- 6 Coaches
- 3 GMS
- 0 Playoff round wins
- 1 Owner who refuses to pay any attention to his suffocating franchise - homiedclown
How long has he owned the team? And will it ever click, that what he’s been doing since then, ain’t working. This team was better under Gallisno’s direction.
Hire someone to run the team and walk away. Kim can do all the marketing and game day event crap that she wants. But for the love of all that is holy. Spend 3 times what a president or gm makes and have them run the show. Hell, drill another well and spend 4 times. Terry, Kim, your structure for your hockey team blows monkey nuts and rivals that of a love child between Jimmy Haslam And Danny Snyder! Thank you for saving the team, you had your fun trying to be super owner-fan, now give someone the keys that knows what in the frank they are doing!

The fact that he stopped going on the radio is comical. Especially because schopp and bulldog served him up softballs. He can't take the heat at all, even at 85° - jcragcrumple
You keep saying this. The GM usually does a Friday home game a month. When was his last appearance? |

How many players have to request a trade out of here before the GM actually does something.
This team will never have success with Botts running it. |

It seems that all the defensemen he brought in are too lousy to be desired by any of the other 30 teams. Or maybe he just really likes his depth on the blue line. |

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. - FireRuff
Yeah, because Craig MacTavish is an idiot. He wanted his guy, plain and simple.

He was fired because they fired the GM and MacTavish wanted Dallas Eakins. Hope it doesn't play out like that again. - Lunaion
Maybe if they name Mike Peca to the FO, then fire Botts and make Peca the GM, then Peca friend requests Krueger on Instagram... |

“Everybody’s going to have a night like this," Krueger said. "
This guy can't be serious.
Hey Ralph, the Sabres have been doing this for years, that's why you were brought here to fix it. |

Can pegula just give the keys to the franchise to Dudley... tell him to fix it and walk away... - Gr8daygo
WTF has Rick Dudley done? Seriously?
Let's see... lasted a year as GM in Ottawa, lasted 3 years in Tampa, 2 years in Florida, went to Chicago as a consultant before becoming AGM in 2006, 2009 he went to Atlanta to be AGM, then GM until he was fired in 2011, then went to Montreal and (frank)ed off for a few years, and is now in Carolina as a senior VP of Hockey Ops.
"Rick Dudley is a vagabond, the Mike Sillinger of NHL executives, somebody who has filled out more W-4 forms than anybody you know, who usually doesn’t even get a permanent dwelling in the home base of the latest team he’s working for...
...So, when the phone rang Tuesday night, Dudley was already chuckling at the question he knew was about to come: “How many organizations have you worked for now, Duds?”
“I don’t know. How many are there?” Dudley said, letting loose a hearty laugh. “Should we count affiliations, too?”
“Yeah, let’s do that,” the reporter said. “I’ll give you a break. Only NHL teams, not minor-league teams.”
“Well, affiliations, Vancouver, let’s see, L.A., the Rangers. Did I say L.A.?” Dudley said. “Buffalo, back to the Kings, Ottawa, Tampa, then Florida, then Chicago, then Atlanta, Toronto, then Montreal, now Carolina. Not sure how many that is, but there’s probably a few I’ve missed.""

What about any of the above makes anyone think he's the key? I'm really sick of hearing about Rick Dudley, and it's usually from people who say "no more alumni" which is weird. |

Pure, dumb luck because of the lost season and the rule changes, as soon as it started going back to the old ways, they sucked again. |

I mean I’ll take Rick over Kim... but ok... insert emperor of hockey operations, and let them run the show... don’t care who it is, as long as it’s a hockey person at the top. They need to change the structure of the organization. Until that’s done and more hockey intelligence is inserted into this organization, we will continue on the pegula path of mediocrity and failure...
Emperor - not a pegula

Did you hear the beginning of his press conference, where he started by saying it was unacceptable multiple times? The press conference is meaningless, but he didn't just play off last night's result like some ho hum it happens let's move on event. |
