Not properly supporting young players has been a top Sabres issue since the Eichel draft.

We heard countless times last offseason that they were focused on finding Power a quality D partner.

We heard similar with finding Levi a quality co-starter.

What do we see for the above?

Jokiharju, Comrie and UPL.

Same old story that Sabres fans are accustomed to.

To accustomed to it, we should want better and they have the assets to do that.

Jesus if that's the plan I would rather see some other players. Maybe they could add a bit more. What a waste of Cap
- Buff36

The refrain has frequently been these deals are only for one year, so it's not a big deal, but it's a waste of a year.

There wasting valuable Cap space on guys that not all of them need to be here. Your system is obviously built on speed, if your gonna do it then do it. Bring up Rousek and Biro and go with speed. Atleast they both have good 200ft games and can stay on there feet. Jesus I watched Okposo loose a board battle to a guy on 1 knee.

Goes back to Dahlin as well. Never got him any support and Ralph surly stunted his development

Good Post! Surely does, imagine if Dahlin would have had his Tallinder. What would he be now.

The development of your #1 goaltender at the NHL level will cost the team the needed points for postseason play.

Now, for the most part the teams the same from last year and the additions this year shouldn’t be enough to disrupt the team. The Sabres should’ve had better play from its core players.

Levi was certainly NOT the reason we lost last night and was fine in game 1. What’s cost us the first two games is our #1 line is pointless and -2 or -3, Clifton is a disaster, our “veteran shutdown” line can’t the puck out of its own zone (last night they had an amazing 94% expected goal against when on the ice) and our best player is an 18 year old

Please never have:
Girgensons Krebs Okposo
Clifton Johnson
On the ice again at the same time, it just doesn't work.

If you look back on Dahlin development it's hard to say Ralphie did anything to his help or hinder him. He made some great offensive plays and some very bad defensive plays. I remember him early as one who looked good one moment and bad the next. In my opinion he's still not great defensively but has matured to be a very good offensive guy. If Donnie was the great development coach as I've heard one would think Dahlin would be flawless now.
I keep going back to this but as bad a coach Ralphie was he had balls. They should have let him run Skinner out of town and KA would have another 10 mil to blow on his buddies. I've got a six seater bus ready to go. Who's on it? KA, Donnie, Skinner, Okposlo, Girgles and the Joker

Rather keep Donnie, send bales and that defensive stiff… and bring back Peca

Wilford hasn't done anything for that Defense, need to change that.

Trust the process. These issues have been noted and will be addressed during the 2024 summer of no excuses 2.0

may have been kind when I predicted a possible 82 point season for this team

levi getting shelled with lots of high danger shots

hence a 3.55 gaa and .881 save percentage

just like 6k got shelled
and comrie
and hutton
and ullmark
and lehner
and, and, and

top 2 lines suck

4th line can't play d, can't get a shot on net

clifton and erik johnson are underwhelming

team looks lost

coaching sucks

special teams suck


and people are bringing up joker and 6k/comrie


this is like going after king kong with a pellet gun


good luck

News flash. Girgensons is the best Latvian hockey player.

But latvia sucks at hockey and most things other than making those pastries that are made of potato dough and cheese.


We need real hockey players not nice guy Nancies that have been here Forever and sick donkey nuts at jockeys

Girgensons is no Arturs Irbe.

Gigensons is no Arturs Irbe.

Barely a Hockey player!🤷‍♂️

Forget the Sabres - let’s talk Bills!

Going to my first game today in 18 years.

Oddly enough, my eldest child is 18. Coincidence?

Probably going to be a little tamer today than days of yore, when we would hit the parking lot by 8 a.m.

I do like greenway

for that I give Adams an apology

the panthers struggled at the start of last year due to trying to be a better defensive team so maybe in a few weeks we will hit our stride


oh wait we still are not playing defense
