Remember that year we won two meaningless games that put us above Colorado and Florida. They got McKinnon and Barkov and we got Monahan. Shaping up to be the same record playing again. Happy for the guys on the team because their feelings is all that matters.

In fairness, now that they're out of that early funk they're probably too good for a bottom three finish. Not sure it's a badge of honor either because neither are they a playoff team. It will take moving a couple of vets to get them back into the lottery conversation.
A last place finish is probably out of the question now. But maybe they can sneak back into the top 5 if trades come in the next month or so.

You forgot Jonathan Drouin.
By the way, the flames had 2 of the top 6 players on their team from that draft.

They Oilers got a couple more OTLs and they got Nurse...it could be worse
So the beleaguered coach is now taking passive-aggressive shots at the incompetent GM who has gone into hiding and avoids the media at all cost while the season is in the process of going straight to hell and the owner couldn't care less.
Did I get that right?

In a serious organization, this would be a pivotal game.

They already lost all the pivotal games, time to focus on next season, and trade Tuch and Byram and Power.

A lot of you have this all wrong.
We're due for the "game that makes you think maybe this time they'll turn the corner". Maybe even two games. And then we'll go back to stinking up the place against Vancouver and Seattle.
Astonishingly Accurate

Im ready for the post game thread here ill get it started.
God damn ####ing Lindy Ruff. UPL couldnt stop a beachball. Nice turn over (insert power, quinn or krebbs) nice pass to no where Tage. Damn Tuch way to play like you dont want to be here. Doan for the overtime winner with a pass from Malenstyne
#### yeah, oh wait refs call no goal calgary scores.
#### Kevyn Adams lick my ####### Pegula
See you all for the edmonton game lets go buffalo!
Quote:
you forgot a couple...
Dahlin I love ya, but that was a terrible giveaway.
also more specific on this one: Power sure loves to skate up ice with the puck only to pass it at the blue line for an offsides.
welp, maybe next game Krebs.
Their powerplay is atrocious, moving it around the perimeter for 2 mins ain't cutting it..fire Appert.
this is fun, let's make a bingo board!
Lame Duck Lindy
Quote:
Could somebody explain to me why Ruff has zero hesitation juggling his defensive pairs throughout the game, but treats his forward lines like they're irrevocably etched in stone?
Why not experiment with new combinations during games where the offense and chemistry is clearly lacking? If you think Greenway can help Tage, why not try that during the 3rd period in a game you're losing and in which Tage is underperforming?
Quote:
####ty team, important game, on the road. Lindy's specialty. 9-2 loss.
Quote:
He has always been known for not being great at making in game adjustments.
Hard to teach an old dog new tricks.
Quote:
I think he was just trying to pump Noah’s tires and keep him confident. People are reading WAY too much into this. Lindy’s a company man who would never dare say a single thing that doesn’t praise his bosses.
We have have like 50 years of proof.
Quote:
Did I hear that right, Lindy?? “If you gotta miss the net, miss it between the red pipes”
So uh, don’t miss the net? wtf lol
Quote:
Unfortunately, the only way Lindy Ruff could really help his team is to resign. That may be the embarrassing moment that Pegula needs.
But who am I kidding? Lindy is now a hanger-on. Lindy of 20 years ago would have lost his #### multiple times by now.
YEGOOOOOOOOOOR
Quote:
There’s the first one. Always loved the Calgary goal horn and goal song
Quote:
These losers just straight up suck. Lindy Ruff is such a f***ing moron
Quote:
They look awful, this will be another loss
Quote:
This shouldn't be a challenge, should just be a standard situation room review, so when it's ruled a goal should not be a penalty.
Quote:
This ain’t just Lindy. He didn’t send down Ostlund to have three goalies. Or trade for Byram.
Quote:
Well, It's Groundhog Day. Again…
Quote:
When is the last game we had even 10 saves before the first goal? I don't think I remember it.

Couldn't have killed 1 more second...

Why am I bothering to watch this piece of crap team? What is wrong with me?

I just realized I joined this forum the last year Sabres made playoffs.
Who knew I was the problem this whole time =/

Kozak/Quinn out there? WHy?

That goal in on Ruff putting Kozak/Quinn out there 4 on 4.

UPL wasn't even in the right zip code
Quote:
Calgary commentator's saying "Boy that was not a great effort to locate that puck." and... yep. UPL is bad at tracking pucks, it's time to cut bait.
Quote:
Keep in mind Calgary is third from last in the West and 30/32 in the league.
Quote:
I should turn this garbage off, but I kinda wanna see if the Sportsnet commentators keep dunking on the Sabres in the second.
Quote:
Who the F was that pass to ?
Angry Rant Rhettro = Best Rhettro
Quote:
I was doing some work in the garage so I was listening to the radio broadcast of the game. This Rhett Warrener interview would be fine for television. But trying to listen to a game on the radio and hearing a guy drone on and on and on and on for nearly 5 to 10 minutes at a time with no play-by-play of the game happening kind of kills the radio experience.
Quote:
He hasn't shut up the whole game XD
Quote:
Rhett Warrener sighting. Loved him and McKee. Favorite pairing in history of this organization.
Quote:
Bless Rhetts heart but I don't think he's watched a ton of Sabres hockey recently if that's his view..... Sorry MC my more pessimistic side is kicking in today.
Quote:
lol Rhett is killing me
Quote:
Jesus christ Warrener always going on about wooden sticks...
Quote:
Uh oh, Rhett is about to get disappeared for being honest on state media.
Quote:
Basically suggested the Sabres channel some Vaclav Varada and run Wolf.
Quote:
Warrener was crapping on the team and organization not long ago on his podcast. Wish he’d drop some dirt on Kevyn and Pegula
Hubey Dooby!

Get a goal to get back into it and just completely melt down.

"Look at me. Look at me!"
f*** me.

And just like that...
Clean goal.

I hope we don’t get our #### pushed in again
Quote:
UP thinking he is Michael Phelps going for a swim there
Quote:
Yeah I can turn this off now
Quote:
Neither of those two penalties were penalties, that said, this team is dog#### and we don't need to be bailed out
Quote:
So when things get tough, they revert to making everything more difficult.
Simple stuff from Calgary - breakout up the middle, pass to the wing, drive the puck down below the circle and put it back to the point, then go to the net while the point shoots right away and middle lane (center) drives the net to push the defender back.
Sabres can’t complete a pass to an open guy on the breakout, get turned back, then again, finally someone just goes 1-on-4 and either loses it or skates all the way around behind the net and tries to pass to the point and misses the target. Then dump in and change.
Always making it harder than it needs to be.
Quote:
Nah....that's on Greenway on the other side of the rink
Quote:
He's been a one man team tonight...
For Calgary.
Quote:
He’s brutal. Waste of a roster spot. Doesn’t fight really. Can’t score. And yet he’s on line one.
Quote:
So now our PK absolutely sucks too? Whatever small traces of focus and confidence this team had for the first quarter of the season is now gone. Look at the faces on the bench. Completely demoralized. Thanks for putting some money into downtown Buffalo Terry, but you completely killed it’s ####ing hockey team.

I literally hate him ... he's a goddamn loser

I hate UPL so much.

4 goals on 19 shots

Yet, we keep trotting out an unplayable UPL

It's impressive how fast the Sabres can shoot themselves in the foot the second they get any kind of momentum
Quote:
That might actually be the most softest UPL goal allowed ever
Quote:
Forget looking good, I just want to watch a Sabres game without feeling embarrassed.
Quote:
How is that not a penalty on Coleman????
And of course they score.......
Quote:
And there it is.
Quote:
5 goals on 19 shots?
Quote:
Good job UPL to make yourself the smallest in the net at that moment. A+
Quote:
UPL don't give a f***
Quote:
f*** UPL ... seriously. This game is on him and Adams.
Quote:
13 game losing streak loading. UPL is not a serious player
Quote:
Calgary crew is killing us.
"We're seeing firsthand why this is the worst team in hockey for the last 20 years. Sabres have talent, but the give-a-crap meter is at zero. They may get another high draft pick but none of that matters with the culture they have."
BANG f***ING ON
Quote:
Can we get a defenseman who understands his job is to police the front of the net? Please?
Quote:
They have been pretty honest about the Sabres woes and it's refreshing to hear. Of course they don't have to watch this horse #### every game though
Fun with the Empty Net
Quote:
#### THIS ####ING TEAM GOD DAMN IT
Quote:
Just when you have some hope, they do this again
Quote:
We’re going to be last in the entire league by the time this road trip ends
Two points out of 32nd place right now. And Nashville has a game in hand.
Kevyn Adams is still the GM. Every assistant coach is still in their position. We can’t find a place for two good young players on a team playing Greenway and Krebs on line one. There are still three nothing goalies on the roster.
The level to which Terry Pegula doesn’t care is unmatched in NHL history
Quote:
Holy Christ do we suck 6v5. Like.....wow
Quote:
Someone better get fired after this game

O.K. there has been a lot of talk on whether or not MacTavish has actually done a good job for us, most fans on this board are very basic in their analysis and I feel would change their opinion entirely if the team was successful.
Kelly Hrudey looks like the male version of Jennifer Coolidge.. there is definitely a point where he started getting work done where it's so noticeable.

I’d like to thank Rhett for that little call out today on Barn Burner, like to think after he finished his Home Alone Lego set it have him the kick in the ass he needed.
