Obviously someone screwed up
But i highly doubt Kim places the order,
or saw the jerseys at all beforehand

Blaming her is just ridiculous
More grumbling from bitter old men on here

Maybe a real president of hockey operations would hire someone that could spell hockey names...

This falls under the lack of attention that is played to the Sabres

That is on ownership

This is not the first time they have used knock off jerseys for alumni events (google Danny Gare)

They used terrible knock offs during the 90's night with the black and red jerseys

AND they spelled names wrong.

Not to mention they missed out on the exemption to wear another special jersey because they were late to submit it to the league.

All of this falls under lack of direction and leadership from the owners.

Honestly they could have gone on to twitter and just read the comments and found some decent ideas from the fans.

I am a firm believer if the product on the ice is going to be suspect at best they better do a good job in the game day presentation (it has been awful for years)

In an anniversary celebration year they should have spared almost no expense and gone out and given this city and the fans of this team something to be proud of, and they failed HORRIBLY

The misspelled jersey and terrible knock off isn't directly ownership's fault but the entire flop of a year of celebration (minus the Aud night the one thing they got right) ownership has failed yet again.

This falls on the shoulders of Kim and trickles down from there.

Among defensemen with 700 mins at 5v5, Joker is 8th in expected goals against while receiving a pretty even distribution of zone starts.

His offensive game is coming up a bit short, but some of that can be explained by running into a bit of ceiling on the right side.

Lazar is hard to read. In a limited time he's gotten some pretty erratic usage. When he's gotten the extreme offensive usage the numbers are good. when he's in a shut down role they're bad. Neither really make sense for him but this is all in some pretty limited playing time. I'd like to see him get an extended look on a line that isn't out there just to kill time once skinner and olofsson are back.

Thanks!! 8th best overall, league wide? If so that’s pretty amazing

I bet they’ll never spell Perreault wrong. Terri would fire someone if they spelled it Perrault

Not necessarily throwing Kim under the bus, but in management you are responsible for those under you.

Someone screwed up and should be held accountable. If they were not held accountable, then we can hold management/ownership accountable.

- The Don



If Kim was micromanaging the uniforms, posters would be equally bashing her.

She can't win on hockeybuzz.

I appreciate the pegula's. Can anyone really blame them for being more interested in the Bill's? It's football.

So what you are saying is Kim’s duties between bills, one buffalo, some restaurants, the daughters skin care line, Sabres, bandits, Americans, might be a little much and the Sabres team may benefit from having a president of hockey operations to be responsible for those details because after all, the Sabres will no longer be handcuffed finically...

They really should bring Lindy back in that role, even if it's largely ceremonial. He's the best ambassador for the Sabres and Buffalo in general and he is almost universally beloved here

A president of hockey ops wouldn’t have had anything to do with the jerseys either

Someone screwed up
It wasn’t Kim, or Terry, or anyone remotely that high up

Is it a symptom of a bigger problem?
Maybe
But that’s a much bigger convo

I agree with this or maybe hire someone with experience to hold people accountable.

The jerseys god awful game day experience and more. Someone needs to hold Sabres employees accountable on a day to day basis

Yeah, and when someone saw a misspelled jersey, they should have fixed it (I think the equipment staff can do name plates in-house) or given them a blank

It's bush league poop. Everyone shares blame for that including ownership. And I'm not one to blame ownership in general

Roby is a goddamn treasure. Get the guy's name right

He’s probably too drunk to notice.

Speaking of drunk and on drugs hockey players, did anyone see the zack kassian special?

Apparently, he was drunk and on cocaine when he crashed on Montreal before he was waived.

He’s clean now and is open about his struggles with “the buffalo nightlife style” of cocaine and booze.

People on here were talking about the problem this team has had. Reino maybe. Roysie and Connolly and the party hearty fun they used to have.

Someone was also going on about how the Hudson fasching trade was ridiculous and out of nowhere. Maybe that young defense we sent the other way was a party boy with kassian?

This really dovetails nicely with the bad spelling and knockoff quality jerseys. It’s like the sabres are a semi pro team in the 1970s or one from slap shot. Maybe Peggy can get skinner to sell popcorn in the stands because he’s hurt. Hire couple of sports a management grad students to run it if you can’t get some washed up former sabres/loveable loser retread to do it. Maybe get. Winner from a winning team to do it?

There’s literally dozens of ppl that work under
Kim & Terry that are responsible for this stuff

But since u brought it up...
What specific things would u like to see done to make the “god awful game day experience” better?

Unless u have some inside knowledge of the situation, that’s some pretty ridiculous speculation
