Hopefully the soccer coach gets canned, the GM gets canned and the owner sells... because not one of them have a freaking clue.

Jack admitted in interview that they all lack confidence and they have no answers. Jack and Taylor need to score period.

Whatever people outside of Buffalo think about this group, I assure you that we here think 10x worse. The top is a pathetic disgrace and poisons the rest of the organization.

Adams is a puppet, as we've known since his replacement announcement for Botterill.

Skinner actually needed 10m a year to unlock goal scoring.

Kidding aside, Hall/Eichel having 3 goals among the 2 of them is really awful. Especially when you think Taylor got the first one of the season for the Sabres period, then nothing since

Put all the jersey numbers into a hat. Pick 15 of them. Send those 15 to us, and we will send 15 to you.

Can’t fire the GM and coach again. I mean, it’s Buffalo, so they probably will, but doesn’t mean it’s the right move. Time to look at the players. Mainstays like Eichel, Reinhart, Risto, Okposo, etc, need to be shaken up. Trade two of them. Trade Middlestadt. Get an actual goalie. Do something other than heap blame on the coach

Foolishly, the Sabres will trade Eichel, deeming that he is not a championship top line center and using his trade capital to dump Skinner as well.

My money is on Eichel and Skinner going to Minnesota for Dumba, Rossi, Rask (salary dump) and a first. Plus or minus a pick/prospect. Sabres likely retain a bit of Skinners salary to make it all work on the cap side.

What are we waiting for Pegula?...pull the trigger and get rid of Krueger since even their star player Eichel now has no confidence. What kind of coach does that to a $10 million dollar player? WTF!!! Krueger is a fast-talking hustler and the Pegulas fell for it. There are some really good coaches on the market now so get one because the season is over with Krueger as the proof is in the pudding.

The other night he scratches Eichel and puts out a message that Eichel is insecure and playing without confidence. JACK Eichel? Not having confidence? Eichel may be many things but insecire and lacking confidence would be VERY low on that list in my experience.


THIS IS CATEGORICALLY INCORRECT!!! At no point was Eichel "scatched because he is insecure and lacking confidence"

MAKE NO NO NO NO MISTAKE....Eichel was INJURED and probably has been all season.

Krueger is a 100% hack douchebag. HE IS THE PROBLEM....period.

Shooting percentage:

Eichel: 3.8%. 2020: 15.9%
Hall: 1.9%. Career: 10.2%
Skinner: 0%. Career: 10.8%

This is why we fail

Nothing baffling about low morale and where It's coming from, It's called piss poor management! It starts behind the bench and reaches all the way up to ownership. No mystery at all.

Guess thats what happens when you give the keys to the car and franchise to a young fella and he seems to be callin most shots out of Buffalo. Just remember - Jack hates to loose.

Its very much the right move.

The coach got caught lying about an Eichel injury last night.

Reporte to Coach "When Did Eichel get injured"
COach "In Warmups"

Same reporter later to Eichel "Eich when did you get hurt in warmups"
Eichel TO Reporter "What? I didnt i tweaked it in NJ"

Coach lies about what he meant and carries on about a 15 minute conversation about multiple injuries and leave everyone massively confused.

Its absolutel poop show over here and the coach is a disaster.

I honestly expected a lot more of the Sabres this year. I expected them to be a team that scores a ton and let its a ton albeit letting more, but I didn't expect this inability to score.
