I’m being serious, Hank. Enough is enough. You, sbroads, lacaprup, sabresfan69, kingcong and others need to organize something. I would even see if Jeremy White could promote it on Monday’s morning show with Howard.

I'm being serious too. I have to stop typing now because I'm in a "no standing" zone and I have to head to the rez gas station a couple blocks over to get more D batteries for my boom box

My snowmobile/Twisted Sister protest campaign is incredibly serious and I urge you to join me. Bring thermoses of hot cider and wear your finest zubas attire. Tonight we ride around the arena for change

I’m right here with him. I don’t think you understand how serious this is.

I don’t see you down here…..

What would YOU say to the media, after a game like this?
- RichardRoma

I would ask “Is the avoidance of physical play a coaching directive or an individual choice from the players”?
For the “hits don’t matter crowd” see Buffalo goal #1 or Toronto goal #5

Ok. If you were the coach, how would you answer that question?

Has anyone asked Adams if he wants to be there? Haven’t seen that guy since the President of the organization went full goblin after taking multiple sketchy government promoted shots. He was trained to prepare documents that require Kim’s signature but she lost the ability to hold a pen.

An organization with the potential to be valued at over half a billion…why haven’t the fans started a fund that bets on the away team every time, it won’t take long to make enough to buy the team away from the incompetent Pegulas.

Once you acquire the team, fire everyone not lacing up skates, implement hiring locals only:

- management of organization will be run through votes of STH’s
- Hire BillsMafia to run PR
- Ads will be local only, tied exclusively to vendors for arena maintenance/entertainment

The Sabres are a financial loss, nothing the current regime implemented has improved the organization financially, competitively, entertainingly, community trust.

The locker room:

Release:
- Okposo
- Skinner
- Anderson
- Bjork
- Sheahan

Trade:
- Olo
- Mitts
- Krebs
- Joker

Bring in grit, this roster has been built to lose from Pegula/Adams down.

The coach who will be a local with a Genny in his hand at all times, will oversee:

Top 6 has 2 power forwards who will fight at anytime to ensure the other 4 can play creatively.

Bottom 6 will focus on making the opponents life absolutely miserable, no free lunches when playing Buffalo.

Defense will focus on transition play, limit mistakes, if Dahlin can’t play disciplined…trade him.

Goaltending, find one that doesn’t get hurt every other period.

This organization is a loser, designed in the DNA structure from incompetent ownership. My way would be unique, entertaining and fan focused for a city that has the time and passion to assume the roles. Win or lose at that point it’s a community effort.

What is there to looooooooooose? The current Buffalo Sabres are an irrelevant write off for a billionaire, that’s it.

Time for Alex Tuch to find a new number. I'm tired of this oversized, perimeter-playing ballerina disgracing Alex Mogilny's number. He couldn't carry Magic's bag to the rink.

Ummm... we have Matt Savoie in the WHL and Devon Levi avoiding us at all costs in the NCAA.
Only a fool couldn't see this plan coming together.

Anyone ever notice how it never works when we move Tuch to another line? He can't drive a line. He, like Jeff Skinner, is a passenger on the Tage Thompson express. I'm done pretending he's making a difference. I hope he's playing injured.

Edit: he does, occasionally, make a difference when he springs opposition players with beautiful no look break away drop passes. I think we're at 3 so far this year.

There's about 7 other guys that you should be taking shots at. Tuch is struggling a bit, but he's also playing at almost a point per game pace. The whole team looks lost say for 3 players right now.

Should we start a Fire Adams or Fire Meatballs chant at the next game?

I move for Fire Adams. And I'm serious. Those of you on social media need to push this.

Oh sure, he's well ahead of the AHLers, but I'm starting to really resent his jersey #, and those guys get beat up all the time.

Edit: and, i think a lot of NHLers would be about a PPG on a line with TT and sharing a PP with 26 and 72. See: Skinner, Jeffy

Did everyone enjoy seeing Krebs get boarded AGAIN last night? He got up and was mad again, but not mad enough to fight... again.

How about AM34 lowering the BOOM on Mittsypoo? But, hey, we scored a PPG. We got him back.

Hahahahahahahahaha

It's like the hockey gods read our board and are like: "Hits aren't important!?!?!?"

They just put that line back together a couple games ago. Tallness is on fire right now but a few weeks ago some where calling him out.

For all the crap Krebs takes, he is about 1 of 4 players showing Heart on this team.

If your ownership what are looking for this season?

If your management, how are you selling this evaluation season to ownership and the fans?

If your the coach, what identity are you trying to create with this roster?

If your a player, are you fulfilling the teams role your slotted in?

If your a fan, why are you watching?

More questions, that are eerily similar to last years, which are almost identical to the questions asked in 2012, than answers so far this season in regards to roster management.
