winning makes it go away

sabres dont win

they dont even come close to winning

- navinrjohnson

she's doing a podcast, a fluff podcast...that means she's not delving into football ops and isn't looking over rk/ka's shoulder while they figure out their hockey approach...sure, she'll have final say on certain things but my guess, and i'm no fan of hers, is that there will be very few things she gets involved in...

am of the opinion that at this point in time, she trusts rk to guide ka, whom she/they also trust...

i could be wrong, but that's my belief right now

Your point
- GERBE!!!75PTS

they suck

you want Daniel Snyder removed from the NFL the other day


look at what has happened with all the allegations for the sabres under her watch


it's a different standard to you

you view my hatred for her is she is a woman, it's anything but that

she runs the worst run nhl franchise, a team I use to enjoy to watch for 40 plus years


most consecutive years w/o making playoffs
about to be most all time consecutive years w/o winning a playoff series


them going back and forth is pissing away our years with eichel

I never expected us to win a cup, but I sure as hell expected us to compete at this point


we are still a f@cking joke, nowhere near competing for anything except the 7th or 8th overall pick in the 2021 nhl draft, if we are lucky

His point is the Sabre’s have been atrocious since they took over and maybe they need to re-evaluate how they are doing things. Yet they don’t. Google Einstein and insanity

I am curious since I don’t pay as much attention to the nfl and the bills. But why are they (at least appearing to) turning the corner. Did they actually let their gm do his plan?

Cuz she’s in over her head, is heading an embarrassment of a hockey team, has fired half her employees and have had even more quit while having one of the corporate tenets “supporting the pegula lifestyle. Other than that I’m sure she’s wonderful

You run the business then.. I think she's doing great for all the Back stabbing they had to deal with

People just hate

am growing fond of that type of trade...however, risto being moved doesn't seem to be in the cards...

as for your question, risto and 8 for henrique and 6 is a good hockey trade for both teams with that move up two spots for buffalo balancing out the two extra years of henriques contract, imo

- Michael Pachla


We could easily be talking about a Risto extension this time next year. Imagine that.

I like when you make up lies ...

First it was Babcock then it was dan ... But money's no object bs When they try getting both John Tavares and Stamkos lol

Then they went after Phil housley who is the number one coaching Candidate after the playoffs everyone wanted him

Lol

- GERBE!!!75PTS

they never landed babcock

they never landed tavares
they never landed stamkos


but hey we got leino, okposo and ehrhoff

How is that different. They have used inexperienced people every time. I guess going even more inexperienced is a solid plan.

when they resumed hockey in 2005 and decided to call everything

it was probably the best hockey played in my lifetime, in general

it's a shame they crept back to the old ways a few years later

- navinrjohnson



If it would’ve trended back to the high flying 80’s, the game would be better.

It's called They got rid of all the snakes and back stabbers and they're doing it on their own terms now instead of people telling them things

And I'm excited

- IndianaSabresFan

from what I heard

they agreed to letting people like watkins and fat butt go


the only thing I heard, is they wanted a say in picking the qb, allen

I also heard they were not fond of mccoy when the allegations came out on him, part of the reason I called him getting cut months before they cut him


but for the most part very hands off the bills, unlike the sabres

i don't fully agree with the hate the analytics community throws at him however i do agree that extending him would not be a great move...

my issue lies more with the amount of hockey he's played and the physical aspect of it...he's got a lot of hard miles on him for a soon to be 26 yr. old...we're pretty much all in agreement that defensemen who play that type of game start wearing down in their late 20's...he'll be 28 in the early part of his new contract and i'd rather not be saddled with a situation like that

They did get something for him prior to resigning him via UFA.

When do you move on then? Or is this another case of wait way too long and get nothing (or close to nothing)? We've gotten really good at driving value down, before making a move

the risto+8oa to anaheim for henrique+6oa is a great hockey trade imo...

they need a rhd, and for the second year in a row have two first round picks...they're rebuilding and will have two years of risto to not only give their d-prospects time to develop, but also to see if they want to re-sign him...

True, just seeing what other people think, and seeing how they view there players to how we view ours.

I’d imagine that we’re all (or at least most of us) biased in our team’s favor
