really, you think Mittelstadt is the difference maker? lol
It's about assembling a roster of competent players. This Sabres team has zero competent top 6 centers and zero competent RHD. Mittlestadt was at least competent and you traded him for something you didn't need. Every move is difference maker. You have to actually build a team with a goal in mind. The Sabres repeatedly throw a bunch of players on the ice and call it a team season after season. If you can't see this after a decade maybe hockey isn't for you

Just forfeit the remainder of the season; it will be less painful....

Not sure why Lindy gets a pass here. He assured us after loss 4 it was his job to keep this thing from snowballing. Games are somewhat close. Maybe he was never the right guy for this job. Maybe trying to recapture some glorious past was bound to fail. Maybe the last thing this team needed was puppy dogs and ice cream cones but rather chains, whips, and blow torches.

Nobody gets a pass.

Please lose as many games in a row as it takes to force Terry to change tack. Fire everyone, hire someone competent and step back.

Every time the announcers tell me "Tage Thompson is on the ice" ( as if it means something big...), I want to take a drink.

I'm done with Thompson. He's as 1 dimensional and totally predictable as can be.

Empty Buffalo net and the players on the ice just throw the puck around like controlling play means nothing.......
Thompson is an unstoppable force until that first injury of the year hits him, and then he becomes a husk. And he gets injured every year so.. yeah, I agree with you. He's 1 dimensional right now.

I am not sure what the answer is. Maybe it’s time for a GM and Coaching change.
GM for sure. I’d love to see Lindy as president of hockey operations so he has a role because he’s not the problem but he’s getting older and he doesn’t deserve this crap from KA.

KA may go down as worst GM ever. But I supposed that’s what happens when you have literally 0 experience and get 1 of 32 jobs in the world.

Mitts is fitting in well with his new team although he still goes thru his drought periods where the playmaking he excels at goes south.

BUT, there is one hell of an experienced supporting cast to provide support and his droughts are a lot shorter now.

He's on the top PP and his current linemates are Nichushkin and Colton. Both have SC rings on their fingers.

If I'm Lindy the NEXT game I quit on the spot at the post game presser. Tell KA and Pegula to f*** themselves on the way out. In the next week go on Spitting Chicklets or something of note and spill everything. All the incompetency, no details spared. Pegula won't do anything, so force the league to step in and force him to do something due to the bad PR. He would be a martyr and I would believe he'd be for it. Probably doesn't want to coach again, but he want's to save the franchise. He cares about this.

PULL THE TRIGGER LINDY. BURN IT ALL DOWN.

Last season under Granato - not ready to play, and the comeback usually falls short.

This season under Ruff - often get an early lead, but can seldom hold it.

Positive note - best game I've seen from Samuelsson in forever.

Everyone else excited for Tuesday's Eastern Conference Toilet Bowl in Montreal? (Seriously, I'm looking forward to seeing a full game of Lane Hutson.)

Not going to solve it with this crew

He knows that. I’ll wager he will make sure Pegula knows it too. Adams might actually fall through the thick ice he’s been skating on. Lindy is the only person in the world who might be able to get through to ownership on the state of this disaster.

I will never cheer against the Sabres but they have demoralized me. They have broken my spirit and my love for the game. I should not care as much as I did and that caring is now involuntarily going the way of the dodo bird . I had hoped to see a Stanley Cup in my lifetime but at my age and the makeup of this team my hope will no doubt never come to fulfilment.
