I’m interested in having important games to watch after the Bills season is done in January/Feb.

I’m interested in talking about who were potentially playing in round 1, who should start in goal for the playoffs, who we could add at the deadline

All the things we haven’t experienced in over a decade

Of course….
Only had to backread a few posts to see it

Now take away empty net goals.

Should we take away PP goals too?

Eh, just ignore it. It’s quite easy when you know they bring nothing of substance to any conversation

Remember when watching the kids was gonna be exciting?

Peterka was for the first few games

Quinn has been a nothing

Krebs looks lost

Power is going through typical 19-20 year old struggles

Just really a fun watch

Ethan bear would make this all go away 🤔

Why? Do empty net goals not count?

Just fuxking watch and root for another team. You're miserable.

Gotta think 23 EN goals would be a record. Deserves more attention.

*start year looking like a top team in the league*

*make fanbase hopeful*

*lose to 2 of the worst teams in the league*

*crush all hope by November*

*Draft top 10*

Repeat next season.

Actually the Sabres were playing like poo and winning games.

The same list of players I’ve named before were playing like poo and continued it the last 2 games

No he probably wouldn't, but for a 5th and nothing in the pipeline it wouldn't have hurt.

If I have to explain that empty net goals are drastically different than 5on5 or PP/PK goals I’ve got nothing for you.

I would say "how much are they paying you?".

But it's worse; you pay them.

But the real question is how are you not miserable watching this joke of a team for the last decade?

I have never seen a fan base with such low expectations of one of its sports teams.

This rivals when the bills were going through through their drought and people would say well at least we still have a team

It's a bit different. Ill advised though they may have been, at least the Bills TRIED. Where is the Sabres' Mario Williams?

While this a true statement, it's also an indicator of how thin this roster is up front. When Kyle Okposo, especially at this stage of his career, is even a consideration, let alone on the ice when you're down 1 and need a goal with 3 minutes left or less, you're still not a good team.

The personnel isn’t so much the issue.

The PP structure is god awful and has to be one of the worst in the league if not the worst

I always felt we were a year behind Ottawa and Detroit having to do rebuild 2.0.

Detroit and Ottawa blew their wads this past offseason, I would expect Buffalo to make their moves this coming offseason.

I am a year behind Sbroads on the freak out scale

I feel like not scratching Asplund over the likes of Mitts/Olofsson shouldn’t be too much to ask though.

Sitting one of our 6 best forwards currently doesn’t bode well for future personnel decisions moving forward

For me, it’s not even freak out it’s more so give me anything to show me that you were trying to ice the best possible team you can. Instead we get trading for Ben Bishop, who will never play again And trying to trade for a goalie who another team was willing to pay a first round pick for to get rid of.

My theory is that it's 2 years behind. Levi, Rosen, Kulich, Ostlund all likely to hit the NHL then.

I agree with everything up until the part where making the Murray deal was a bad idea.

Walking out of this past draft with Kasper and Savoie would have been lovely
