I hate to say this, but it may start with another coaching staff sometime next season...I think botts is good right now although curiously, we haven't heard much from him this season
- Michael Pachla

I dont think blaming coaching is the answer generally but Housley has brought nothing this season. No change, no emotion, The PP did a complete 180, Defense looks worse than ever. I think he was a pretty lazy hire honestly. Still believe that the players are about 90% of the issue though overall.

if the sabres hired babcock instead of disco sucks dan, where would we be right now?



my guess is Murray would still be the gm

I need to see more than Scott Wilson and patience at this point

we'll see at the deadline

I'll take it a step further and say in the very least they'd be in the playoff hunt this year

serious question as I turned the game off last night halfway through it


I am a fan disgusted and impatient with the lack of results for the last 10 years


new owner says money is no issue anymore

pegula has owned the sabres for 7 years now, and shows no signs of having a clue



w/o hiring a hockey czar to run this thing, what can the sabres do to turn this around because the joke is no longer funny
- homiedclown

Serious question

How do people on the board boast such strong opinions when they do not even watch the games in there entirety?

Sure the sabres suck, but isn't a fan or knowledgeable fan supposed to watch the team either way?

Risto and ror might have been awesome in the 2nd half of the game, but you didn't see it.

Babcock is the type of coach that demands respect. The type of coach we desperately need. Housley isn't that guy i dont believe

That's more like it.

I enjoy your posts , hold steady. Our Fandom will pay off.

- homiedclown

yeah, I get that....

however, he didn't ask for the game-situation

While i'm continually losing faith in Housley, I do like the emotion in practice. Let them get mad, get physical with each other. Something got to spark some game time emotion. Someone's got to hate losing enough to get angry on back checks and get dirty.
We are not going to turn things around to the point we make the playoffs this year but let's get some value turn on some of these players at the deadline. That's only going to happen if we play better.

I am not


we don't have the horses for this system

player x stinks

player y is a skid mark

player z is a bum

Wasnt murray the one who said he could build a playoff roster if he wanted to, but he wanted to tank first? Something like "I could build an eighth place roster right now"

I wouldn't mind seeing a line of:

Nylander-Asplund-Olofsson

Probably see them as the 2nd line in rochester for the next few seasons

Where?

Why?

I am not

- homiedclown

I am not either... Because i didnt have any faith in him to begin with.

We absolutely dont have the horses, but whats he going to do if and when we do? Continue to just stand there chewing his gum? Its a perfect time for him to get animated, freak out, throw something, get ejected from a game or two, anything to make me give a (frank) at this point and demand some respect. I just dont see it, but you are correct it really doesnt matter who is at the helm with this group its still a going to be a poop show for now.

- Boss34

Hope not. I would assume they are all busts if they are in Rochester for more than 2 seasons.

Where?

When?

Why?

Rochester to start

in Rochester next year?
- Michael Pachla

Yes. But potentially our 3rd line of the future
