Just bought a New book about the current Sabres
View attachment 947087
It's been a hot minute, but I think that book was about a small school team coming together and understanding teamwork and sacrifice to punch above their weight and beat bigger schools. The Sabres are more like that one Screech Owls story where Nish spends the whole time yelling, "I'm going to hurl!" except the Sabres don't win a high-profile foreign tournament with Dmitri pulling a Michigan at the end.

All jokes aside, I really feel bad and want to see stuff like this again.



Not sure what needs to happen though.

Agreed, it’s a great hockey town and deserves to succeed.

I’m not sure how they fix it, but it obviously starts from to top down so the management team is what should get the axe first. How long has this current regime been in charge?

So funny how Jason Botterill was given like 5 minutes and he was fired but Kevyn Adams can just coast after trading Eichel, Mittelstadt and making the team worse than it was in 2020. Granted Botts did deserve to get fired just for hiring Ralph Krueger, but still.

2020 Sabres: Eichel, Reinhart, Dahlin, Thompson, Montour, Mittelstadt, Rodrigues. The core WAS ALL THERE. They just needed a real coach and to spend on some role players.

Does Adams deserve to get fired just for bringing back Ruff?

I'm a Sabres fan and I don't blame Ruff. It's on Kevyn Adams for assembling the team, Terry Pegula for 14 years of meddling and hiring the wrong person, and most of all this collection of players for so many reasons.

Even the guys who were playing well earlier in the season like Tuch and Peterka look useless now. This is bad. I mean…it’s a collection of some pretty good/useful players that is just horrendous together.

I know some Sabres fans are like “screw it, bring up all the guys on the farm” - but I’d keep every prospect even remotely worth building with (or using as a positive asset), down in Rochester for as long as humanly possible to avoid getting this stench on them. It feels like every “rebuild around a new core” in Buffalo gets worse and worse results.
