Buffalo Sabres have lost 12 in a row.

[NyQuil]

They play the Habs next, so the streak probably ends there

The stoppable force against the moveable object.

 

[Turin]

They need to sell the team. Buffalo fans need to go full court press on this issue. Boycott the games, put up signs, the fans that do go need to make a point.

But this is the year??

I still think the team as is is talented enough to salvage.

I’m not really sure what their problem is.

I think they just lack an identity and direction and the culture of losing has rubbed off on and negatively impacted the talented players they do have.

The team seems like a random collection of guys who have some talent and have had success at lower levels but don't know how to win in the NHL.

Culture, Maturity and Toughness (mental and physical) are all lacking.
It's obvious there is no plan from the top down.

Kevyn Adams will have been Sabres GM for 5 years in June. He's gone through 3 coaches and traded away players like Eichel, Reinhart, Montour without significant improvement to the team. How he still has a job is beyond me.

Because he’s doing exactly what the owners want.

This is what happens when you have had incompetent management for over a decade (Tim Murray, Jason Botterill, Kevyn adams)

 

[WhatTheDuck]

The GM has been given enough of a chance there, that's where they should start

 

[kerrabria]

Their dump arena’s lease is up in 2027, which is right when the Alpharetta, GA rink is due to be finished.

TBH the problem is the club isn’t talented enough but management thinks it is. That’s a recipe for disaster. Move Power or Dahlin. To change the clubs direction (continued losing) will take a courageous trade.

Yup. They are the decade of darkness oilers of the East right now but even worse.

 

[BlackAdam]

If Buffalo is looking for a new head coach, Ten Hag is looking for a job

 

[MOGlLNY]

Is Buffalo missing anyone ?

I think Buffalo needs better defensive players, what do Sabre fans think they need ?

Player(s) who could help the Sabres, aside from top end players, highly unlikely to be available, who would help Buffalo ?

Dahlin has been out for 6 or 7 of the losses

 

[winnipegger]

Letting in 4 against a leafs team on a b2b after you have lost 9 in a row. This is just sad. Buffalo ownership is what needs to go. They just don't know how to run a hockey club.

 

[ffh]

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"

An extra 7 games a year in almost a decade is nothing to write home about either.

 

[Dread Clawz]

They are so soft lmao. Like buttercup soft

Yup, they need more grit, and they need to bring in players like they traded away, vets who can show the youth how to win. And not 4th liners.

 

[BlackAdam]

Wonder how much longer till Dahlin puts in his trade request

 

[sabremike]

Firing Adams and replacing him with Jason Karmanos is such an obvious move to make but Pegula gonna Pegula.

bye bye

 

[Deep Blue Metallic]

The Habs can put Buffalo into the EC cellar on Tuesday night in the Bell Centre. At least I'll get to see a full game of Lane Hutson.

 

[Just Linda]

Buffalo needs to find a former player or coach that's won it all and get them to build a vision around.

They have all the pieces they need to win, they just don't have the right collection of pieces.

Get a winner, get them to set a culture, go all on building a vision, and make it work.

Such a directionless mess. Tons of great pieces but no vision.

 

[Section 104]

I thought they had a good chance to pick up some points. But they have in a streak even worse than the Rangers have been on.

 

[thethirdhockeyman91]

Just fold the franchise. They are a joke

 

[Bard Marchand]

Bring back Ralph Krueger because I demand to be entertained.
