i don't understand this system that Rolston is using. Passive zone coverage - allows the other team a ton of puck possession time. Tired players make horrible outlets and repeated failure at zone clear. Once the team makes it out of the D zone they have a passive forecheck. Very little pressure in the offensive zone. Double failure

on top of this Rolston decides to sit Zhadorov for NYR when he was the best D on the ice against Dallas.

Gregorinko is an offensive specialist, so what do you do with him? Rolston plays him on fourth line with Mccormick, kaleta, scott. back wards!!!!! put him on top two lines and PP to see if he can succeed at what he does well.

Fire Rolston....

Im starting to think gregorenko was overrated. lol

No offense, but your team is probably the worst team I've ever seen at the NHL level.

Imagine what it will be like once they trade Miller...

Guy tops 44 of 46 last night and takes the loss...

Well, on the brightside we have some nice young peices and look to be on our way to a top pick with an additional 1st and 3 2nd rounders. By dumb luck we should land some difference makers

Us Buffalo fans are in a world of poop right now!!!

An owner who can afford whatever he wants and we have Darcy Regier and Ron Rolston ... somebody needs to wake his a$$ up....NOW!!!!

We have nice young pieces,what are you watching. Guys, we can say they are young etc. but not one player on this current roster,outside girgensons,has any heart. Once again this is the product of Darcy not knowing anything about talent.
He had the 12th pick last year and he thinks he hit gold drafting grigorenko who was believed to be a top three. No he didn't, the other 11 GMS are smarter then Darcy and skipped on picking him. We could have the top three picks next year and he will miss on them all. Hertl a fast big center was picked after grigorenko, he has more goals combined then all our young guys.
You can be young,have less talent,but you are in the NHL, every player is soft on that roster. Bucky Gleason hit the nail on the head,tallinder wasn't good enough three years ago at 3.1 but is good enough at 34 at 3.4 mill. It will come out,Steve ott is asking for 5 years 30 mill,which is a joke.. You can rebuild without being this bad,but Darcy knew this was the only way he could sell Jed terry pegula clampett on staying on. I could go on and on but one thing is for sure,in sports you have a select few coaches and GMS that dominate,the rest are buffoons who are in the buddy system. You don't find many very educated guys taking the life of hockey coaches or GMS on the if come,who would want to make 10 to 15,000 a year,travel all over on a hope and a prayer that you make it. REGIER has had the perfect storm,from RIGASES,nhl coming in,Quinn giving REGIER and extension knowing golisano would never fire a guy with a contract,and then clampett being a fan. Quinn kept REGIER because he was a yes man to Quinn,because he got him the job.regier now hires rolston be use he is a yes man,this franchise is a joke

If you don't think that Ristolainen has been tough or shown "heart" or whatever Buffalo fans are obsessed with than you're just wrong. We have good young prospects. We still havent seen Armia, Zadarov is a good young peice, Pysyk is still a rookie, Grigorenko has a ton of potential. Seriously, stop the whining and suck it up for the next 2 years. These kids are 18-21 years old. Don't expect much

- mehetmet

I get that, but money can change the minds of most people.

Wait, wait good point. Scott's missed at least 2. He will play.

Kaleta, i think should play. He's been missing a while. No idea how long though.

Yep he will be in as well.

Have you ever heard of the term "healthy scratch"?

I love your optimism. Can I ask you a simple question. Wasn't tyler Myers after his rookie year then next chara,how is that going? Every player regresses in the sabres system. This is factual,Darcy REGIER is hated in that organization. Factual,vaneks agent told Jed clampett last year,if you offer my client a 100 million dollars,he won't sign as long as REGIER is there

Grab your pitchfork and storm the castle. Come back and let us know how it goes. This discussion will go no where. If you really think all of our prospects are worthless or doomed, then simply find another team or another sport.

I voted 2 but seems everyone thinks 3 is the majic number.
- cabin

Why was zero not an option?

We need a good player/coach like Reg Dunlop and a few boys from the Iron League.


This team for the most part has become unwatchable, only development I can see occurring is bad habits and very poor decisions on player positioning/lines/ice time.

Ok,I will move out of Amherst because you said so. I will stop buying my season tickets and spending money. I am a paying customer who is subjected to the worst organization in sports. Three years from now,when REGIER make over fails ,who will be e one laughing. Until clampett wakes up and gets rid of black,REGIER and rolston we will not win ever. When ken sawyer your trusted advisor calls REGIER a hockey genius,we are doooooooomed. If Darcy didn't inherit the greatest goalie ever,we might have made the playoffs three times in 16 years. When we made our only Stanley cup finals appearance,he added bob corkum at the deadline,he is a joke

Bob Corkum is the shizz!!!!

not gonna get better

Im starting to think gregorenko was overrated. lol
- Doug1967

GARTH is never wrong

If it helps I figured out based on old stats that we need to lose at least 38-41 more games to be in the running for the number one pick, which is now harder to hold onto them it used to be by 25% If we were to drop to #2, I'd hope that Philly or Edmonton would vault us and pick Ekblad and we can still get Reinhart or I guess Nylander if we have to not get the center we need really badly.

The worst organization in sports?! Really? Oilers and Panthers are worse than Buffalo dude. You're in the early stages of a rebuild and youre already losing your mind.
