I really don't understand why anyone would think he'd be good at that. It's the equivalent of hiring Marv as GM, probably worse.

I mean, he is a natural.
Just look at all those Stanley Cups he has.

Tyrod benching
Moving up to draft a QB
Watkins traded
early failed rebuild by Murray
Disco Dan getting fired
Rex fired
I could go on, they are way more hands on then people think and it hurts both the bills and the sabres

Ahhh yes... Remember the good old days when the Knox brothers just let the people who knew what was going on do their thing?

I had them in October Homie... LOL... I would have publicly posted my thoughts that they would fail to make the playoffs way back during the "streak" but I would have been called negative or a Debbie Downer...

The win streak was great, but aside from the Flyer game, they never came out and dominated any of the other 9 games

It will get better, just how good is the question


We are on year 4 of Eichel

7 more to go

It’s going to take a person to buck the system and them to realize they’ve been doing it wrong for either franchise to have success.

You're down on Mitts? Really? The kid is a rookie and what, 20?

And you keep conveniently ignoring the 1st round pick we received.

MAYBE HE TRADES SAID 1ST ROUNDER FOR SOME PROVEN NHL TALENT!

3 more years and I’m out.

Kid will be off to college and I’ll finally do what my parents told me to do 22yrs ago.

Go somewhere warm and live your life.

Had I listened to them I’d be 3 yrs away from a very nice pension from the fine folks of Chandler AZ.

Listen to your parents kids, they know what they’re talking about!

Trying to stay positive there’s no point to get angry when nothing won’t be done till the summer

But the whole Coaching staff needs to get fired

Housley either set himself up to fail or they set him up to fail.

Chris Hajt has zero business being on an NHL coaching staff.

If I were Skinner, there is no way that I would resign here. He has done enough this season to get 8 large or more from a lot of teams.

Why would you want to play here?

Suffering will be when jack asks for a trade and the Sabres better stop playing around because it will happen he’s not a player that will spend his career just fine with being in a race every year

I think most posters here acknowledge tne 10 game streak wasnt sustainable and not a true reflection of what the team was, myself included.
I thought at the time, the young on the roster were learning some important lessons, that hard work and never give up yield success and therefore would pay dividends down the road. I thought the young core would gel and take some steps towards becoming effective leaders.
I thought they would transition away from being bottom feeders.

My current line of thinking is evelving to one that questions the young core...maybe that rift in the locker room between vets and the youthful we heard rumors of ... well, maybe the youthful are a major part of the problem? I see a team that continues to make the same mistakes over, and over again...it is simply NOT improving. Passes in skates, lack of effective backchecks, losing players in front of the net, system breakdowns, etc. And, the skill level to score of most, save 4 or 5 is lacking.

Maybe the young core will solidify and lead the team to greatness...I am starting to believe they may not have the right guys.

Close to home.

Nice area to raise a family.

Money goes a lot further in this area then most like to admit.

The weather isn't as bad as most make it out to be.

You're an hour away from the Aspen of the East.

4ish hrs away from the Key West of the North.

I feel awful for Okposo.. guy should have never been put int that position to begin with. First the hit from behind was NOTHING. Second one of his lame ass teammates should of stepped in and stopped it before it started. 3 concussion in 3 years and 1 with serious side affects. Okposo has no business fighting. It just shows that this team plays with no heart.

I could care less about the team being shatty, but to leave a vet player out to defend himself against a younger tougher player that has been in more fights in a short career then okposo has been in his entire career is gutless.

Just my opinion.


It was totally Okposo’s choice. Nobody was left out to defend for themselves. Okposo wanted to fight and he got one.
