Can’t. The arena made the beer cups smaller.

It's left over beer that's why the cups are smaller.

There's no single move that rights this ship. They need a lot more talent and a lot fewer Larries
- Hank Balling


Agreed that there is no single move, but a series of single moves will get you there.

Every opportunity for improvement should be looked into fully.

The they're more than one move away so making any move won't matter much excuse is a straight loserville mentality.

Yea but next year is different. Next year we can make those moves because we will be one year further along in the process.

Also UFAs are absolutely going to flock to this team as it stands.

Sam Ventura, hell of a job. So many small, skilled players who dont score. Such amazing work on the 18 month goaltending search.

This front office needs to be wiped out. They suck.

- lacaprup


Everyone involved deserves blame, including the cheapskate owner who is refusing to spend to even the cap floor.

All they really need is a franking goalie
- hehateme


You can't possibly believe all they need is a quality goaltender, can you?

They need much more than that.

yall need to chill

vegas is probably the best team in the league and they played them pretty good, despite looking very sloppy. score was definitely more lopsided than the game was.

this was not an all in year, losing to vegas isn't the end of the world

also thompson is so (frank)ing good

Definitely need more than a goalie, the problem imo is they've kicked the can year after year on these issues with the excuses of "Evaluation year" and "Development year".

That all sounds reasonable.

How about the Arizona garbage fest earlier this week?

The xG's lately don't look all that bad, but they are giving up way too many odd man opportunities.

Not today, not for me, this isn’t funny anymore.

I know there is going to be a lot of canned responses today.

It’s unacceptable what just happened last night in our own building.

Absolutely done. I was going to go to a few games coming up here.

Nope. Not as long as Pegula owns this team.

A lot of work to be done. More development and growth and we need to hit are draft picks. Adams is staying steady and building the team top to bottom. Slowly adding the pieces we need to go to the promise land. Of course the way we are developing are player's it will only take 10 more years. There is no way that the Sabres will ever evaluate all there prospects, they can't handle 1 now.

Also beat the Isles last night and the Leafs a week or two back.

Even the 2014/2015 Sabres won hockey games.

Actually thought the first 2 periods when the Sabres actually used there speed they gave Vegas trouble, just didn't do it enough. And the 3rd they looked like Deer caught in headlights. Forgot what skating was.

Losing to the 13-2 Vegas Golden Knights was the straw that broke the camels back ?

The Sabres are 7-7 with 68 games left and have the best team they have iced in over a decade.

The mood swings on this blog are hilarious.

Can’t wait for them to win 3 of the next 4 games and everyone on here to start planning the parade again.

This is the youngest team in the league that will be playing meaningful games into March.

The majority of the core is under the age of 23.

So many people can’t see the forest through the trees.

Tell me what games they have looked good in other than a period here or a period there. Montreal was probably the most complete game.

Excluding the Arizona game which was a stinker, the Sabres just went punch for punch with three of the top 6 teams in the league in Carolina, Tampa, and Vegas with half of an AHL d-corps.

They also had a tough western road trip to start the year and almost swept it.

Recency bias is a hell of a drug.

All right then tell me what the forest through the trees.

When should I expect this team to actually care about winning hockey games

Next year, the year after?

I also don’t want to hear about moral victories how they played hard against a good team.
