BINGO!

Next we will here BS about other franchises that have a President and how woeful they are, but won't admit this organization is absolutely lost and needs direction.

If you are continually drafting in the top 10 for years, and nothing changes...then something else is wrong. Paraphrasing of Mike Gillis interview in The Athlectic...which perfectly summarizes the State of the Sabers.

They need someone to evaluate the situation objectively, BEFORE the offseason.

This offseason is way too critical to take a chance of being wrong with Roster Formation once again. What would it hurt? If it came back and said, all is good...GREAT. it wouldn't though.
That should be Kym's first step...hire Gillis to do an exhaustive review by April 15th.

I like the Gillis thought...

I will also take Ray Shero as President

Hell, if they came out today and said Ralph is heading upstairs to be President and we have hired Gallant, I’d be ecstatic...

The bottom line is what they’ve done for nine years has not worked. Call it cheap-ing out at the gm level or inexperienced gm’s. Or ownership too involved at points. I don’t care, it ain’t working.

Again, sharks, two crappy seasons, change the front office structure.

Sabres, 9 crappy seasons, everything is fine and here’s some Chinese knockoff jerseys... just wait till Danny Gare contracts the Coronavirus from his Chinese knockoff jersey! Duan will explode!

This is not the way...

I'm sure it's been beaten like a dead horse already, but the team seems like they forced WGR to take the link down to the call from Duane, and now there are reports that the organization is not happy with Elliot Friedman's 31 thoughts column.

It's an absolute gong show right now.

That call was all over the place.

TSN posted the link to it before it was taken down.

That was fantastic, good job Melody!

I hope that phone call is starting to dislodge the brain dam in PSE. Sure seems like they're rattled.
- TheSabresTaco

They should be rattled.


Good job Dooane!

@Duanes39

Check him out. They are selling t shirts We are All Duane.

So I did not watch the game last night but I just heard that we had a TOTAL of 10 SOG combined in the 2nd and 3rd periods?

And all I keep hearing from Kruger is how he is seeing some good progression? This is NOT soccer where 10 SOG would be fantastic. We should be getting 10-15 shots a period...

WTF it is getting worse.....

All I wanted for this season was meaningful games after the all star break. Playoffs would've been great, but not expected. Looks like hope even for meaningful games is fleeting.

I am going to the game at MSG next Fri, plus a road trip out to Veg/Az at the end of next month. I also have a trip booked with the family up to Buffalo for the final regular season game. Still looking forward to the games because I am a hopelessly optimistic & loyal fan, but I really thought we were past the tank phase. If they blow this thing up (again) at the deadline and/or I see some half ass efforts from this team, I'm going to be Duane level upset.

While agreed, They also made WGR take down the Post.

Don't be whimps if you are going to roll out a garbage product, in a garbage arena, with garbage presentations, with garbage off ice PR.


Own it, accept it and say this is unacceptable.

If Terry or Kim would just come out and Say that, then we would be good. but instead we now have them blaming the media and the players are starting to as well.

Did you hear Jake McCabe's presser last night?

I agree and take notice of every word in the post. It's just a joke, and it's been a joke for a long time. All of it. All of it.

I got a last minute freebie to the game last night, but got there late. Missed the only good part.

It's become toxic. You could see it in their eyes once they got down 2-1. This franchise is a mess from top to bottom and everybody knows it, including the players.

Yep. So here we are, looking at another offseason in January. Again. Not to even mention the embarrassments off the ice. The embarrassments on the ice are going on 10 years.

(frank)ing guy says they essentially have a blank check for the Sabres, yet we're stuck with this horse poop.

I would trade our team for Seattle’s position right now.

- Gr8daygo

At least you're still at the stage where you have Duane's.

It's when you reach the point where nobody gives a poop anymore that things get real ugly for the franchise real fast.

Our 9 year playoff drought forced the team to sell and dug an attendance hole so bad that it's going to take years to win people back.

The attendance will suffer here but people will still follow. People here will always care about hockey our playoff TV ratings have remained in the top 5 over the past decade which is pretty crazy considering the team is never in the playoffs. The fanbase just needs some hope but we're not going anywhere

It's when diehard, good ol' boys from the heart of Raleigh get up and move to Saskatoon to get as far away from their hometown team as possible to where the team needs to start to be concerned.

Which is the benefit of having had a team for 50 years, I guess.

Still, patience is not limitless, I'm sure there are people who have tuned out entirely by now.

- thatsapickle

They'd much rather bring up the washouts than the prospects. Granted, Dea is doing well down there.

They're moving the Senators to Saskatoon, didn't you hear? They're even building a brand new downtown arena!
