I'm just not going to be disappointed with how a 7th round pick turns out despite agreeing with some of what you said.
- kingcong39

the guys at 3pm on nfl network radio think it's better to go undrafted than picked in 7th rd, because you control your destination based on the team's needs

I hate bogosian the hockey player

ROR's post game bullpoop on repeat after his point blank misses and errant passes is starting to make me hate him personally

- Sabresfan-365

I don't hate the guy personally, but he has to be better. For $8 million a year he has to produce more than faceoff wins. He should be giving some of that cash back to the Sabres.
Only if he could restructure his contract.

Yeah, I think O’Reilly in terms of being a leader, and locker room presence is a total fraud.

I know people who are actually friends with him. They say he’s a nice guy, down to earth etc.

I just can’t stand him on this team any longer, unless we become a good team, very soon

I'm just telling you right now this team is (frank)ing terrible there not tanking

Yes Phil Housley is going to purposely tank when he has a family to take care of

- gerbe75pts


You have no clue!
Phil Housleys family was taken care of the minute he signed the deal. He will never have to work again to take care of generations of housleys.

He wouldn't be doing on his own. It's part of the process.
Why do you think Bob bougner went to Florida?
He sat down with management and owners here and didn't want to lose.

They are tanking period!
You can't possibly be this ignorant.

but it is a cap era

and we are dead last, with him playing over 1/3 of every game

a small market like buffalo can't pay a center 7.5 mil for 3rd line production even strength

- homiedclown


Very true ... so let's get rid of ROR and watch him go Evander Kane on us.

I'm sure ROR can't wait to get out of town.

It's gotta be the water in Buffalo ......

If there's a silver lining to yesterday's game, it's that it wasn't a "kids day game". Botts throws temper tantrums when the Sabres lose those.

For those of you that think the reason this team is bad is because it doesn't have a captain, I keep telling you there are no captains in that room. Housley said, "It's about time our leadership group stepped up now, that definitely wasn't the response I was looking for. Some guys like to put things into their own hands and think it's going to work and it hasn't."

I think that says it all.

it's the culture of the locker room

name one sabre that has exceeded expectations in the last 7 years, once they got paid 4 mil or more per year?

Kane is pointless in 4 of his last 5 games.

He’s scored goals in 2 of 11 games as a Shark. (Yes I know he had a 4 goal game)

He’s not really any different than in Buffalo

What Fitz is going to say is that Pommer was on a much better team, failing to acknowledge that Pommer is also 35 and just plain getting old
- sbroads24


Sure, ONE season makes a HUGE difference
It’s not like he’s a “speed” player who lost a step, or a “physical” guy who is just all beat up...

It was ABSOLUTELY that he was on a better team
Good grief

He would say the same or similar bland, empty comments after wins if the team was good and winning, only nobody would care at that point.

Sure. This is said about most rentals.

He’s doing the same things he did in Buffalo.

Shot volume, hot and cold streaks

Good thing they don't do that everywhere I've worked or else a ton of people would be donating part of their salary on many days they're 'working'.

Ott
Ehrhoff (I liked him)
Spacek
Rivet
Grier pt. 2

Anything '13 - '16 is basically a throw away because they were trying to lose

Pommer wasn’t top 10.

You don’t understand them, so this is a pointless excercise.

I’m not wasting pages on it

- sbroads24


Right...
you’ll just ignore the obvious bc analytics can’t quantify it

He never had a 4 goal game, or even a hat trick while on the Sabres.
