Botterill had a chance to lock up Skinner for cheaper, he waited. If he waits on Reinhart, it will cost him more.

I was just told there is " bewilderment" in the room right now.

It's probably not true until it's reported by Fox News or InfoWars.

😂 This team is so bad it’s turning the frogs gay.

He's right.. past 10 games, I think we've outperformed our record. They should be shot for the NYE game, but most of the other ones, they've been solid. Ya know, for a middle 10 team, which they hope to be.

Botts will be on WGR at 530 today. Should be a half way decent listen. Let's see if Schopp sacks up and asks any good questions.

Thanks for this info! 👍

You know what?

Botterill (frank)ed some poop up. The coach has made some (frank)ed up moves, too.

But, the "room" can all look at themselves in the mirror, too, and if they're blaming management for everything (like most soldiers do), they're wrong.

You're not taking Skinner from last year into account.

If Jeff is going at least year's pace, we're winning much more.
- Powerslave

that's coaching

kruger stuck olofsson there from day one, never mixed it up

focused the pp on olofsson

and eventually removed skinner from the first team pp, and of course our pp has only gotten worse once that happened



team stats are virtually the same as last year, with special teams being worse

I expect total chaos


not sure what happens first, the sabres implosion or california sliding into the ocean

Botterill cancelled his interview

Hahahahahahahahahahahahaha

What a joke

Lol. He backed out of the interview.

What a loser organization

Geee. Maybe if there was a president of hockey ops, there might be a little less bewilderment.

Blaming, sure, but questioning the direction of management isn't something I could blame them for.

A GM signs every defenemen he could in the offseason, trades none of the ones we have, then can't make moves because he put himself against the cap apparently, signs some nobody to dress for 1 minute and 30 seconds before waiving him.

I'd say that's fair cause for some bewilderment in the locker room.

Hopefully it means a trade is coming?

Other than that, this organization is a joke.

Lol. He backed out of the interview.

Wow! Wimp! Can’t face a question or two...

Lol. He backed out of the interview.

This might be the most embarrassing time for this organization, ever, if there is no valid reason for missing the interview.


Please just end this gong show, Please Pegula.

I'm hoping Schoop fly's off the handle.

Let's see what you have to say when Eichel or Skinner take this another step further, Eichel's hands were shaking in his post game presser the other night. You can hear it in Skinner's voice and also see it in what MoJo had to say the other night.

Pegula can't fire another coach and GM yet again, he already looks like a fool. This 3 players , well 2 that have came out and asked to be moved, Miller is the other but it hasn't made it out yet. Not counting ROR and that alone should have got Botterill fired, you can't give away players and other players within and around the league see what it going on.

I'm not saying Pegula or Botterill need to kiss Eichel's ass but, they better start making some changes.

Wonder Women said we didn't need one and she said LaFontaine know didn't the direction this team needed to go. So that's that.

This shows his true colors. He can't go in public when times are tough. Absolute joke

I was on the fence with him

he can now go with the coach, unless something really big happens tonight, which it won't

He canceled because of a "League call" Supposedly.

Does the league just spring calls on GM unannounced?
I doubt it.

Who would you bring in as a president of this team to pretty much run the show. Someone to hold botts accountable that actually knows hockey....

Not that pegs will do it, even though nothing will change until he does. But who would be on your short list?

Botterill is 1000X worse than Tim Murray.


He's a salary cap genius though, or so I hear, that's why the Sabres are in such great cap position.......

Lol. He backed out of the interview.

They should have just sent Dalton Smith in to do the interview

Botterill said how important it is to resign Skinner to play with Eichel, so important that he now has no center to play with and he makes 9 mill a year and plays on the 3rd line at times with a center that plays on the 5th line. But yet Botterill said it was important to bring Skinner back.
