Decade and half of incompetence really has shown the way for this fan base!!! Losing Breads losing and the Sabres have brought that out two-fold.
- Buff36


It is a slow rebuild, no doubt. Can't blame Adams for the previous 12 years.
He told the fanbase exactly what is happening, and is doing exactly what he said.
Murray rushed it and ruined it. Botts sat on his hands doing virtually nothing, except bringing in the franchise's worst coach.

KA is on the right path. Fans don't like the slower, more methodical plan...I get that. But the constant female doging on all things Sabres by many is so over the top.

develop is playing peterka, krebs and quinn

playing quinn on the 4th line is like playing vanek in his prime with mair

He played top pair with Slavin for two months before he got Covid

Got back and couldn’t get back into the lineup consistently, then the Canes played Brendan Smith over him for a physical presence in the playoffs.

He was literally never benched for bad play.

I am really surprised, I really don't get it to tell you the truth. It's "Groundhog Syndrome". Just reliving the same Sabres crap over and over.

“It’s a slow rebuild” is just an excuse for not spending money or not making the effort to win hockey games.

Maybe.
Maybe not. 2 games ago the Sabres were on fire by most accounts on here. Then injuries hit their 1st and 2nd Pairings and the season is apparently ruined.

Did you have to lift that thought from some Twitter genius, or is that an original thought.

So why is Comrie here and not UPL?
- sbroads24


UPL playing as many minutes as possible in the AHL isn’t a development plan ?

Maybe the goalies were on fire!! And those D injuries show maybe for a 5TH they should have taken a shot on a player.

It’s also been 8 games and Peterka and Quinn need to be sheltered.

I don’t think playing them 20 minutes a night out of the hop is the right answer either

you missed the memo. When the last game is a loss this board is in a frenzy until the next win.

What exactly does the amount of games played have to do with them barely being at the cap floor?

- sbroads24


Yeah I’m not losing sleep about having another top 15 pick in a draft comparable to 2003 and 2015.

Ottawa and Detroit blew their wads and will be sitting in the same spot as Buffalo come year end.

Look at the division we play in.

He’s 23 years old. He was fine here last year.

If this year is “all about development” and “seeing what we have”

Why isn’t he in the NHL in a backup role at least?

Maybe one day you'll contribute more than taking pot shots against several posters, including our blogger.

I don't have high hopes for that.
