can't imagine why anyone would trust the owners to do something right after f@cking everything up with this team for 10 years

Explain the pegula's success with the Buffalo Bill's?

Now they are getting new stadium approval, something discussed for 20 years now.

Uncle terry hand picked josh unicorn allen ☝️

Imagine taking Rosen.... terry made the most important Bill's decision in decades.

I'm a pegala defender apparently, but the tank really dug a bigger hole than anyone could have imagined.

And the moment they start winning all is forgotten and the stadium is full. Sooner or later it happens.

apples and oranges


you have minor leagues for hockey development


this is a historic low for an NHL franchise

the worst stretch of hockey ever and it's all under the pegula's watch and direction


think about it, the worst 11 year stretch by any franchise in the history of the nhl

Looking to get a dog and can't decide between a Golden Retriever or a Border Collie. I love huskies but I would never get one. My neighbors would kill me.
- sabresfan69


I would look into a pitt mix as well.
We have a boxer/pitt she's the best dog ever.
Zero concern of aggression, but she looks like scary and probably the last house on the street to rob.

Love goldens, but unfortunately I had a allergy to an ex girlfriend's dog rusty. If call him dusty.

Had a border collie named "othello" black on top white on the bottom. Probably the smartest dog ever. He could jump 5 feet in the air gracefully...

It is the worst but comparable to Edmonton, Toronto, Detroit and Chicago.

In the end just win and the arena is full.

Detroit had 1 playoff appearance in a 15 year streak.

- DirtyDan

this started 11 years ago, not 6 months ago


the murray fast track rebuild was a direct order from the pegulas


the botts weak attempt to get the team in playoff contention a few years ago, again direct order from pegulas after agreeing to a 3 year rebuild


it's not a 6 month thing

it's not a 3 year thing


the team is so epically bad they had to overpay ralph krueger to coach because nobody else wanted the job

Good post

We could win multiple stanley cups and superbowl championships, bla bla pegulas suck.....

Tanking did more damage than anyone could have predicted.

(I was pro tank , pro mceichel)

Just need to find out if Josh allen can skate.
Or find someone as likeable/ big winner attitude

Im not arguing, I agree they've made terrible mistakes and continue to do so(Kim as president STILL) just saying who cares that were breaking the record, we knew it was coming.

All good points homie.

The thing is, the pegulas have proven to be competent owners in a bigger professional sports league. The biggest in the world.

Definitely absolves them of some Sabres incompetence.
There is plenty of blame, still for sure.

Couple bad hires and circumstances with the Sabres.

La la flaking out.
Tmgm in over his head after la la left
Not getting McDavid
Speeding up the rebuild with questionable leaders( ek9, ror, bogo)

Asking the nhl for advice and getting jbotts as the answer
Jbotts liking vesey soft players.

We’re going to continue to complain until every home game has $1 hotdog/beers until this team makes the playoffs.

Adams gave Reinhart away, though. 👌

That narrative was just the typical overreacting that constantly goes on around here

The return wasn’t great, but it was “ok”

Maybe a decade long goalie failure blog is what the doctor ordered?

Where they came from, what they were doing stat wise
What they did in buffalo
What they did after leaving buffalo.

Lehner comes to mind.

"Two sources close to Bills head coach Sean McDermott say the January meetings left him concerned about low morale eroding the culture he and general manager Brandon Beane have cultivated over the past three years with a meticulous, holistic attitude."

This is my unofficial guide on Goldens.

The darker they are (fur color more red) the more their fur will lay flat and the smaller they will be (mine's a red fur 50 LB golden)

The lighter they are (fur color more golden/blonde) the poofier they will be and they get big (relatively, buddy has one like this pushing 110)

Both are fast as (frank), great family dogs
