Oh my, how long does the agony have to go on? Why would you extend a coach's contract until they prove themself? I guess the team is tanking to get the number one pick next year. There is no sense in going to the game and encouraging this poor play by this team. The season is over. I am so glad I did not purchase season tickets to watch this bull crap. This is just pathetic. Do they have any pride at all? I would feel guilty playing this poorly. WTF

If ya gotta come back from two down, you might as well try and do it against Vancouver.

There is a reason he has a shelf life.

Torts is a fine coach but he gets tuned out quickly.

In October Buffalo had fantastic puck possession.

The 2nd period they returned to it.

Someone tell the coach

Waits for “We just need another 18 year old who will take 3 years to make a true impact”

Viva la 2027

In all seriousness that’s not how being a fan works.

I can’t just say today I’m a fan of this team even though I’ve spent my entire adult life rooting for another team.

No explanation is needed for being mad at a team that has the longest playoff drought in NHL history. You can still be a fan while rightly calling this period a jaunt to hell

You said it well earlier. They won't even make a minor move to shake things up, just extraordinarily content with what they have.

Well of course the whole staff and FO have job security.

Why would they actually do work?

If it’s on the player, coach has choices and can sit him or dress others who will do that. So it looks like it’s on the coach.

I think the mandate to keep payroll low supercedes any management wishes

It’s not even content with what they have, it’s content with what they’ve had in previous awful seasons.

Sheahan, Hinostroza, Pilut

These are your big additions.

It’s a joke. Hope no one expects anything different next year
