They should have let Lindy pick his own assistant coaches. They make a difference. Seth Appert coaching that power play is one of the worst in the league.
Unfortunately the only playoff I saw was the first round I think Rangers and Buffalo I think it was 2011 the last time they made playoffs and if my count is off can you blame me. I for the first time watched a full hockey game in 21 now I was born 2003 march that was good at the time
I’m also 21. The first game I remember watching was the last 30 seconds of playoffs which was short lived. The only reason I remember it was cause my dad was SCREAMING at the flyers for holding the puck in there zone for the last 30 seconds of the game.
The internal cap isnt the only sign of cheapness. They gutted their scouting department and didnt replace them. They only hire first time gms or coaches who dont cost much relative to others. They give their alumni Chinese knock offs to wear at ceremonies. They are a cheap organization
My question is at what point can or does the NHL just step in a figure out what is going on? How does the league sit there and allow incompetent ownership and management to continue to destroy the franchise. We are so tired of this. We've been preached patience like 3 times now in 14 years. There is no patience anymore.
Buffalo is like Green Bay (minus the championships): a small very passionate market. They will come to Sabres games if the owners give them something to cheer for. But when two of your stud draft picks leave and win cups? That is demoralizing.
Someone can correct me if I'm wrong, but didn't the NFL have to step in with the Pegula's before the Bills got Josh Allen? The Bills were so poorly ran, and there were some shenanigans to make sure a player didn't get his bonus, and it was souring a lot of players against the organization.
I've been a bills season ticket holder for almost 15 years and don't recall ever hearing this. Terry had only owned the bills for a few years at this point and the bills hadn't made the playoffs for over a decade before he bought the team.
That has never happened in the NFL. Terry basically hired an individual with football experience to be the GM (Beane) and look at where the Bills have been. Imagine if he treated the Sabres like the Bills
Dont worry Sabres fans your playing the Leafs friday dont be surprised your streak ends that night because as a leaf fan i have seen it time and time again😂😂😂😂😂😂
Absolutely. Alot of eyes are on the leafs and if I was a Sabres player, that's the best place to play my way out of the team whose owner dont care about the team.
But the issue is when you are a team that has trouble getting players to waive the one thing you can do is overpay vets to come. The fact that they have been bottom 5 in spending for 5 straight years is a big issue. They arent using every avenue to win
@ you have 20 million people whose entire gdp is based of trade with America and a man that wants to be a pseudo king in Trudeau. You’re barely a country
Buffalo internal cap lol…Eichel 80 million, ROR highest paid Sabres at time of deal, Dahlin 88 million, Skinner 72 million, Tage and Cozens 50 million each, signed best free agents available which wasn’t saying much(okoposo)….Suter and Pariese offered 110 million each…Pagula pays players 1 mill to play in the AHL, Golisano never did that or even bought amerks
The POOgulas need to GET THE PUCK out of buffalo. Sell the team to someone who will make a positive impact and actually spend money to make the team good.
It's not the money. He's dumper miilliioons and millions and have financially given the team everything they need. PROBLEM is 2 things. 1) His family is WOKE. and soft 2) They are involved in every decision that's made.
they have drafted so many early draft picks and are still crap their defense is super soft and thats the main issue along with a dump gm and rehiring a coach they shouldnt have
They had a chance with this young core if they would have filled it out with some veterans but the GM stinks & now it's 3 seasons later and it's a toxic mess like the end of the Eichel years.
They cant get vets to come. So many deals were killed by no trade clauses. 1 player literally retired when he was traded here. 2 others threatened to. They are in a death spiral because the things they need they literally cant get
Pagula bought the Amerks which cheap Golisano never did, he made the Amerks a winner, Golisano was so cheap he refused to pay Briere 5 million for 5 years before his arbitration case…that started the downfall…Pagula pays first rd picks million to play for Amerks and never even hesitated to pay Eichel 80 million, Dahlin 88 million, Tage 49 mill, Cozens 49 million, they saved cap space so they could add a forward this summer like Necas but Carolina kept him, a deal was worked out which Buffalo was sending huge package for him, but he stayed.
On paper i feel buffalo should be at best a competent competitive last wild card spot team instead of the dogshit they are showing off. God a feel bad for their goalies
Buffalo HAD been losing by just one or one and an empty netter...until Montreal. Now it just looks like they suck. Dahlin being gone the last 6 games HAS been an excuse but still..they just suck
Terry Pegula squandered a viable and strong hockey market. There’s a generation of young people in Buffalo who have no interest in the Sabres.
I’m 41, I’ve had zero interest in them for 20+ years 🤷🏻♂️
Short answer: No
Long answer: Noooooooooooo
Sabres are making my blackhawks look damn good this season 😂😅
It worries me that the hawks could follow the Sabres path.
The sabres have a better record than the hawks
Not possible, good try though
Sabres are terrible, but I'd rather cheer them over a team that covered up sexual assault
*11
Perreault?
12 on Friday.
The owner should want to be a winner. Being a bean counter is usually not synonymous with wanting to be a winner.
As Jack Edwards once said live on-air when describing the Sabres: "... the NHL's version of a dumpster fire!"
They should have let Lindy pick his own assistant coaches. They make a difference. Seth Appert coaching that power play is one of the worst in the league.
I'm 21 years old. I do not remember a time when the Sabres were genuinely good.
Unfortunately the only playoff I saw was the first round I think Rangers and Buffalo I think it was 2011 the last time they made playoffs and if my count is off can you blame me. I for the first time watched a full hockey game in 21 now I was born 2003 march that was good at the time

Pagula bought Amerks and pays huge money for players there…Golisano was so cheap he didn’t buy Amerks and paid for only half a roster
Doesn’t help that Kevyn Adam’s is best buddies with Pegula and has no prior management experience
Terry said basically all is good 🤯
My question is at what point can or does the NHL just step in a figure out what is going on?

CORRECTION.... 11 STRAIGHT LOSSES!
12 when they lose on Friday to Toronto again.
Buffalo is like Green Bay (minus the championships): a small very passionate market. They will come to Sabres games if the owners give them something to cheer for. But when two of your stud draft picks leave and win cups? That is demoralizing.
The way you guys look at Jersey is the way the U.S. looks at Canada😂
Lmaooo Americans are so sensitive
I am from Jersey and I can confirm that New Jersey just wishes it was New York.
11 loses in a row now

You think you would do some research. Eichel asked for a trade a whole year before he got hurt.
Yep. He'd been asking for a while. The surgery was the last straw
The Sabres should have signed Laine 🤷
or necas, or elhers, etc. our GM sat on his hands , this is on him and our shitty owner.
@@drbjr8223he said they didn’t want to play for us.

i dont think spending another 5mill turns this team around. the organization needs leadership

@@kevinborchers3522 Exactly !
@@kevinborchers3522 so you think adding a 5 mill player or a couple 2.5 mill players and this team will turn it around?
Suter and Parise were offered 110 million each, both went elsewhere
jesse blake is such a gem lol
The internal team cap dosent exist. Its a theory that isnt real. Pegulas LOSE tens of millions a year with the sabres. 4-5 million is nothing
Canadians saying nj is not a state has to be the funniest thing ever. You guys are barely a country
They are not a country they are a commonwealth
Lol barely a country canada is the 2nd largest country in the world 🌎 🤣 shows how stupid you are buddy
Lol barley a country? We are in the G7 you dolt

Seriously if they just trade Eichel then they would be great.
Time to rebuild in Buffalo
When did they stop rebuilding..
Havent they been rebuilding since the early 2000s?
@@Kiham80 still going 😣
Been rebuilding since 2007.

@kevinborchers3522 there are 6 teams in Canada who make due. There's no excuse for the sabres
The new stadium is far from sold out. It is priced out of the market.
Pagula bought the Amerks which cheap Golisano never did, he made the Amerks a winner, Golisano was so cheap he refused to pay Briere 5 million for 5 years before his arbitration case…that started the downfall…Pagula pays first rd picks million to play for Amerks and never even hesitated to pay Eichel 80 million, Dahlin 88 million, Tage 49 mill, Cozens 49 million, they saved cap space so they could add a forward this summer like Necas but Carolina kept him, a deal was worked out which Buffalo was sending huge package for him, but he stayed.
Bring in Brain Bruke as GM please that's all I'm saying
Fire Ruff and bring Richardson until the end of the year. 🎄
On paper i feel buffalo should be at best a competent competitive last wild card spot team instead of the dogshit they are showing off. God a feel bad for their goalies

Help us
You know it’s bad when the usual slump buster fodder, especially for the Sabres… the Leafs beat them. 😂😂😂

Play the Rangers. That'll put an end to your losing streak.
Just close the franchise down, or move the team. Who cares anymore?
FIRE KEVYN ADAMS
That's okay. Canada is the 51st. state of the US, so your geography lesson makes sense
Never ever happening lol you can dream tho.
@red3here we have enough morons in our politics, we don't need more
