I'll be ready for jack quinn (isn't bad but not worth what we went through this year)

The Crosby draft we had one of the best chances to win.


We drafted Marek Zagrapan 13th....

You were spot on with Botterill.
Jcrags was close behind


Trump supporter? Why 3ER ?
I understand why you may have voted that way in 2016, but now? You seem like a pretty bright dude?

Hey Broads, Kim confirmed Botterill is coming back. Get ready for another season of female doging as he muffs this for a 4th consecutive year

“He’s our GM. Our plan is to continue with him,” team president and co-owner Kim Pegula told the Associated Press on Tuesday.

“I realize, maybe it’s not popular with the fans, but we have to do the things that we feel are right,” Pegula added. “We have a little bit more information than maybe a fan does, some inner workings that we see some positives in.”

On Tuesday the NHL unveiled their return to play plans, featuring a 24-team playoff format. The Sabres found themselves on the outside looking in, missing the postseason by just one spot.

“Believe me, I don’t think anyone knows the frustrations more than Terry and I do,” Pegula said. “Coach and Jason know they’ve got to show not only us, but they’ve got to show it to the fans. And they know that. They understand that.”

Whether I like him or not I’ve been telling you he isn’t going anywhere for your sanity’s sake.

He was never getting fired. They are DONE paying people not to work for them.

Read the tweet Von Dudenstein. Lotto to determine the top 3. I’m sure Botterill will find a way to Botterill it. Didn’t he already vote in favor to allow teams that get bounced in the first round to be eligible for the lotto? What a total putz of a moron. So many on here were arguing with me 2.5 years ago now staunchly agreeing about how horrible Botterill is. Archive don’t lie.

I’m still trying to figure out what is harder to do, admitting the 3ER isnt always right, but ain’t ever been wrong or being a Trump supporter?

- Hatboro_Swords


I was for Botterill at first. Since the ROR Trade I’ve wanted him gone. In his third year he couldn’t even make a 24 team playoff. He just needed to not be in the bottom 20% of the league. Too much to ask for apparently.

I knew he was coming back. He still deserves the metaphorical and proverbial public tar and feathering due to his consistent ass performances.

Anyone want to take a bet on which mediocre 2C "solution" he picks up for a 2nd and 5th?

I read it as “if you choose to be stupid and not social distance /wear a mask, then you should reap the consequences.”

If you get your panties in a knot over that, the you are just looking to play the victim.

It would be the
Same as saying Someone should win a Darwin Award for doing an obviously stupid thing. Play stupid games, win stupid prizes.

He didn’t Say that you should die a miserable death. You are playing the dose genius martyr because this is a hockey message board and half the poop that People talk on here is garbage. Stop being so sensitive.

He loves to spin things and then post 1 quote instead of the whole thing... A true American
- gerbe75pts


See my last post. I’m surprised he hasn’t Attacked the “tolerant left”. That trap work when someone says something and they immediately spin it a different way and say something witty like “so much for the tolerant left “
As if people on the left are tolerant of everything and anything. It’s a logical fallacy but they love to bully people on social media and grandstand.

It should have, and it’s unfortunate it didn’t. I expected the team to finish just outside the playoffs, just not in this fashion.

Everything happens for a reason, I look forward to June 26th and adding another high end player to the organization.
