Hanifin ideally, or trade the pick. Dont need another small winger in Marner and Nuge-Draisaitl will be a solid 1-2. Still hoping you guys get on a hot streak and win a few games though

Aw come on dude be cool. We have no top line players save maybe Ennis. It's time Buffalo has something nice. A real talent.

Weber was spot on in his comments. I would probably feel the same way. However, his ire should be directed at the league for rewarding losing.
- Slump Buster


I get what Webers saying. And any of you guys who are countering with the look how quick they leave when they get a bigger contract piece, and how the players always talk about "the business side of sports" you're right, but don't forget Brian Campbell was crying as he said those words, as did Ryan Miller

Mike Weber having a hissy fit about the fans, pure GOLD, this would be the one complaining and yet he got a penalty with 30 seconds left in the final period which led to the winning goal, awesome.

Seriously all those fans turning up to games when the team is playing so bad, is just amazing, I don't think the players have any right to whine at all.

If the sabres had just lost 4 games during that 12 game stretch earlier in the year none of this would freaking matter. Nobody would be up in arms, fans wouldnt be cheering for the other teams goals. So everyone needs to calm the hell down, finish out this poopty season and draft one of these two guys.

Anti tank fans you have the right to your opinion, but so do I. I am still a fan, i was all in this year to finish to last and im all in next year to make the friggin playoffs when we are a better team!

Finish the TANK!

ESPN only gives a poop about hockey when bad drama is involved. They're a bunch of (frank)ing clowns. Sorry Homie.

Haven't heard, we'll likely find out later this morning after practice what his status is. Heard rumblings that it's short term.

Did it happen when he went into the boards when the guy took the penalty on him? I didn't notice any other plays that could have done anything?

Hey wait a minute... Wasn't it Sabres management who told the fans we would have to suffer? So why would any player be upset because the fans turn on this team a little?

Weber needs to shut up and suck like he did in that game. He can leave the organization in the summer and never come back if that is how he feels. but i have a feeling he will go where ever the money is the greatest.. shut up and take stupid penalties for now

They asked him how he felt about it and he answered. You wouldn't feel the same way?

I don't blame the players one bit. Management put them out there with little hope of winning by design. That's why this whole arrangement sucks.

Wasn't it two years ago that during the STANLEY CUP FINALS they were talking about Brady's long hair?

That was a real. (frank)ing. Thing. Those people should be shot.

I don't blame him for anything he said to be totally honest. All those guys bust their asses day in day out (usually). I mean, if you were working hard and people mocked you and rooted for you to screw up, how would you feel? He gets it. They all get it. They just don't want to talk about it. They're going to keep trying their hardest for the rest of the year, then Murray is going to can Nolan not because he lacks talented players, but because the Sabres are horrid in every statistical category that's ever been invented.

"I can't wait to see what Nolan can do with talented players!" Yeah.. that's not happening. Sorry.



This explains everything. Arizona has worse players, yet somehow Tippet keeps their Corsi% at a reasonable level.

It sure does. But thats the position they are in. (last) If they were to win out? That would screw everyone from the team to the fans. They gave us NOTHING to cheer for at this point but the 1st overall pick. And as a Sabres fan they should be happy we are still paying attention to them whether to cheer or jeer.

Its like someone coming in to your job telling you you suck continuously, and then saying don't worry we are rooting for you to fail so we can bring in the next pro, possibly at the expense of you.

I don't understand how some fans don't see why Weber is upset. It's the ultimate gut-shot to a player.
