Justin Falk telling it like it is


And of course bogosian went hard into the boards

Dear Botterill:

Please trade Kane before he gets hurt.

Thank you

I disagree on the fancy plays point though...


This team is incapable of completing simple passes so nobody is really trying that other than the one guy who actually can.

Dear Botterill:

Please trade Kane before everyone figures out he ain't poop

Thank you

Good blog, Pachyderm.

I enjoy your combination of information and opinion.

Keep up the good work!

Great blog,

They want to play games like individuals and each has their own answer on how to fix this. So they try to bully their own teammates into doing it their way.

I've been on losing teams before, small waves of effort until they don't see short term results so they just pack it in.


Lack of leadership lead to lack of respect, leads to no emotion, leads to empty seats

Kane better be gone if this is true

There's no question taking him off Eichel's wing has taken a bit of the luster off Kane.

O'Reilly now trails Kane by 6 points

C*ntfest in the last blog....
Yay for the new blog!

Let the fighting beginning!!

thx...appreciate that

We are a last place team by a mile. Sure its good to see some emotion but we are who we are. there has to be massive turn over with this team...Just start now before players get hurt and we lose them for nothing (Kane)

The Sabres D in their defensive zone are a mess, not covering guys, banging into each, always out of position and we are all aware of this. So herein lies the question,
is Chris Hajt responsible for this and why hasn't there been any improvement at all.
What is it that makes him so uniquely qualified to coach in NHL? I find it hard to believe that there wasn't any better qualified candidates then him to coach. I like the rest of us are totally frustrated and ashamed of the product on the ice and I don't see it getting any better, anytime soon. Rant over.

this team explained by a cartoon...

Jack Eichel just broke his stick on the bench and told the skaters to grow up or get the hell out of Buffalo"

thats only cause his competition at wings are dumb, dumber and laziest.


It's time to sell high...or high-ish now

if you don't see it where'd you find it?

From the few Sabres games I've seen this year, I noticed it is incredibly easy on opponents entering their zone...not sure if its system or players but that's gotta tighten up...Maybe trade Middlestadt to the Yotes for some much needed grit?

This team or lack there of "Team" is so frustrating. There is absolutely no reason that this team plays the way it does. I get that there is a lack of talent but talent has nothing to do with Heart and Determination, intangibles. This team has NO heart at all. It is franking embarrassing to be a Sabres fan..
