Buffalo Sabres have lost 10 in a row.

What’s Ted Nolan up to?

So you're mad at the messenger, not the fact he was an abusive and borderline psychopath?

Leafs bad narrative >> Babcocks actions.

IMHO, nothing will happen so long as the Bills are doing well because they are probably occupying Pegula's time, not that Pegula's decisions when he does pay attention to the Sabres have been particularly good.

The best thing that could happen to the Sabres is if Pegula installed something like a Board of Directors of persons experienced with the business of hockey to develop a long-term plan for success of the franchise and to hire a new President and GM and hold them accountable -- and also be able to veto any obviously asinine proposed moves in moving players or hiring coaches.

Feel bad for Buffalo fans. It seems the problems are deeply embedded from the owner down to the players. Outside of getting a new owner, GM, and coach, I’d really shake the team up big time. Cut the thread from the previous 15 years and start fresh even if that means trading their best players. That probably won’t be popular with fans but if I was a fan I’d want to sever all relations with the franchise from the last 15 years. There is probably a deeply rooted culture/mentality/status quo type problem in their franchise

GMKA should have done this...but he didn't quite clean house...A big mistake, imo, was resigningtwo veteran "leaders" - Girgensons and Okposo...Both of them were well versed in losing....They both should have been let go....

Sorry. Remove his time from the leafs and Babcocks actions with his other teams are insane and it was obvious he had not learned from his mistakes

Remember after the McEichel draft their fans claimed they "We're years ahead of Toronto in their rebuild and Babcock made a mistake when he chose the Leafs over the Sabres"

Actually Babcock did make a horrible mistake going to Toronto as it ended up destroying both his career and his legacy. If he went to Buffalo the expectations would've been nowhere near as high and I think he would've gotten the Sabres to be competitive and making the playoffs within a season or two and considered a success.

Feel bad for their fans, this kind of futility is ridiculous. They seemed so close to turning the corner two years ago too, they were a powerhouse offensively. How'd they manage to go backwards from that
