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.

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

Seems like a big factor. Could have called up anyone today though, and went ultra-conservative.

Disagree
And if it makes u (or anyone) that miserable, then you’re taking sports way too seriously to begin with

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

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

Peterka has been taking a beating tonight.
I need someone to stand up for him or stand up for himself.

We needed that. At least when we pull the goalie we have a chance.

Sabres stink. We couldn’t even beat a terrible backup goalie.

Kids are showing me anything at all.

Olofsson stinks when he doesn’t score


Just overall. No progress

On pace for about 71 points which would be a step back from last year.
