I have a real good friend back home

die hard sabres fan growing up

played the game

watched every sabre game

season tickets


he has lost interest
- homiedclown

And that really sucks .

I still come here cause of the game being on . the buzz on the left ... Game on the right. ..... Seems im not glued to the game as I was in the past . Hell we even had a chat room !! 26 in there at one time .

3 years into the ROR experiment and the team has dropped to dead last in the NHL


I don't hate him, but I do hate the contract

Esp. if his game falls off a cliff in a few years, like I fear


I see a 32 year old man on the ice, and he is much younger than that
- homiedclown

2 even strength goals in his last 20 games.

10 even strength points in his last 30 games, while averaging over 20 minutes a game.

All while riding on a line with our hottest player in Sam

I read somewhere reiinhart was like 32nd in scoring in the nhl once the calendar got turned

I'm continuing to renew my seats.

Sabres have done exactly what I expected this season.

We need to trust that pegula hired the right guys in both front offices.

Beane looks like a genius so far
Jbotts will look like a genius if we secure a top talent to match his 1st pick in Mitts.
- Boss34

No problem boss. Great for you.
I would rather see them on TV. Makes me feel better than those paying ..for the game ..gas, parking , beer, food. Doesn't seem like a good night out. seems more like a Dr's visit with a pay up front .

- homiedclown

Agreed . Good times
now we have just a 1/2 half assed women named Gerbe .
and she/it/him causes all kinds of crap.

He is a keeper or we tank to get an equal.

And we have him already. Won't cost anything .

It sucks. Games are boring. My son is half a sleep and does homework during the play.

The future looks bright in my opinion.

Hard to be good and draft a game changer the same season.

When the sabres start winning, the fun will be back in the arena

When your home town team is trying to secure a top pick, it's not the best time to evaluate them.

They are not far from being a bubble team
- Boss34

You think they are actually trying to suck ?

It's been the same all year ..

Guhle on ice for 13 scoring chances (3 of his own) and 6 against.


The truth baby ruth

Tanking 101:

You have to tank from the beginning.
All teams close at the end.
Same in 2015. Everyone was closing the gap.

We have been consistently bad.
This is a year where there are 4 or 5 great prospects, which plays into the new tank rules.

No way we can be this bad. Unless its on purpose

The only self-inflicted wound was holding back Guhle. They did not intend to tank this year.

Damn....House tore um apart at the post game

Sure.

The sabres made so many trades to improve our chances of winning.

Wilson for a 5th.

You must really hate jbotts then? He's doing.a horrible job then I guess in your mind? Probably should fire him right?
We are in 31st place.

This was planned.

pommer and scandella have 48 points combined this season

ennis and foligno have 42

On the contrary, I like JB. He has some serious damage to repair and attempting to do it too quickly would have been a terrible call.

That said, the team on the ice at the start of the season was better than the previous season. I didn't expect a strong start with a new coach, but it was far worse than it should have been. I think they expected an improvement, not a step back. The idea that they were tanking from the start is ludicrous to me.

Well if he wasn’t so overplayed...
and all the defensive zone work is tough minutes

I bet you’d see a lot more jump in his step next year when we have kids up that can actually play more than 12min a night

The guy looks 32 bc we beat the crap out of him


And the “we are last place” is a bad argument
ROR isn’t the problem

It's very easy to make excuses for every player and argue that they aren't the problem. On a team this bad, most of them are part of the problem. Would anyone argue that RoR played up to his expectations this season?

He's got one more 5 on 5 point that Ron (frank)ing Hainsey.

he plays 21 minutes a night

it's not like he is a +30 guy

Hainsey has time to catch him

- homiedclown

U can’t just pick & choose who that argument applies to though

Eichel plays a lot
He’s been here 3 years
Yet we are 31st

See what I’m getting at?

except our eyes and numbers tell us that he's making and impact and driving possession.

Neither the eyes nor stats say that about ROR.
