I find it amusing that we have a Jason Botterill thread, part 5, which has Botterill misspelled. The We Can Do Better thread grows dusty with neglect.
Has anyone taken ownership of this fiasco? Hope the owners' shirts did not say "Beluga". Maybe they would not notice?
They probably gave the job to some friend or relative of someone in the organization.Upon further reflection, these must have been honest, albeit extremely preventable mistakes. If the Sabres were purposefully trying to alienate their Alumni, they would have clad them in the BuffaSlug sweater...
I've got one foot outside this organization already.... wouldn't take much more bull**** to make a complete break of it.
Yeah, I know; I'm no longer a local; maybe that kind of makes it easier. The Caps are only 90 minutes up the road...
Just fire everyone in the PR and marketing and start over

Yup. Being bad is one thing. Being an absolute joke of an organization is a whole different level. This fan base deserves so much better.They literally don't care. It's embarrassing just being a fan of this team. Between the Alumni jersey, Sabretooth being the only mascot that couldn't skate, our team failing to make the playoffs in nearly a decade, having one of the worst trades ever, and Kids Day..yikes. What's next?
Cheerleaders! Of course it will have to be coed but imagine the possibilities.They literally don't care. It's embarrassing just being a fan of this team.

Small market teams in the USA have to do more to get noticed than day to day incompetence. Things like having a coach call his all star goalie an alcholic, having a player threaten to run said goalie in practice, having a public fight between the coach and GM, going bankrupt, having your owner go to jail, and losing your 2 co-captains on the opening day of free agency get noticed. Never underestimate how low the Sabres will go to get noticed.They literally don't care. It's embarrassing just being a fan of this team.

Is that accurate about Sabretooth???They literally don't care. It's embarrassing just being a fan of this team.

It's even worse: my sources have told me that he showed up to the building messed up on catnip and in no condition to perform.Is that accurate about Sabretooth???
Botts should sign some of those mascots. A couple look better than Mittelstadt and one is definitely better than McCabe. Sabretooth is as mobile as Bogosian. Maybe it is Bogo.
