Skinner with a boatload in front spins around the net and fires a blind backhand high and wide. And we have to “protect” this guy in the ED? Lol.

Not if we're allowed to buy him out ...

The Sabres have played in 44 post-TDL games under Botts' "management."

They're 10-31-3.

Fire this dumbass into the ocean, the sun, down a well, I don't care where, just get him the **** outta here

 

[Ehran]

Let me paraphrase all the post game comments from management and staff:

"We got off to a slow start but really came on in the 2nd and 3rd periods. We'll learn from this pain and be ready to play Thursday."

We will integrate this pain through our amygdalae and return tomorrow with marginally different synaptic responses to stress. We will be better people, hopefully, unless our central brain structures are damaged by the process, and in that case will require many years of therapy to return to half-functioning subjects. Go Bills.

It's not a terrible lineup the Sabres put out there. This is on Krueger.

The Sabres always miss my amygdala and tickle my uvula until I ralph.

For well over 5 years now Sabres hockey in March has been atrocious.

And February .And January. And December...

 

[Kyndig]

For well over 5 years now Sabres hockey in March has been atrocious. Yet every Oct. they win some games and everyone starts talking about how great they are. When will Sabres fans ever learn?

I wish people would fact check things before spouting the same drivel over and over like its gospel... Recency bias at it's brainwashing finest! We've had 2 seasons in the last 8 years with a .500 or better record in October and every other season we've essentially been dead last in the league.

They don't get nearly enough credit for their consistency.

For the first time this season I decided to work rather than watch the game. I’m not exactly motivated to watch the last 15 games

Only 10 pages of posts for this game. That tells me I’m not the only one who is dialling it down because of this road trip.

The one huge positive is that we don't have to pay Reinhart that much for the next 5 years in order to keep him away from being a 2C.

 

[Royisgone]

Not if we're allowed to buy him out ...

Even if the league lets us buy him out, will Pegula let us buy him out? Pegula seems to have vetoed buyouts as a matter of policy now.

 

[Royisgone]

Reinhart looking for blood.

Just scanning through the thread and saw this comment!

I assume this references that monster hit Sam tried to throw in open ice--before completely whiffing. Effort and intent was still there though! I wondered at the time what got into him! Totally out of character!

We shouldn't and we won't buy him out.

What am I not remembering which makes you posit that?

There has been talk about this lately in terms of potential situations on the Bills and Sabres (in like the last year or 2) where Pegula arguably could have/should have bought out a K but we never did. Doesn't mean it is his policy b/c we don't know why no action was taken ultimately.

But I'm not the guy to suggest this theory. I'm just repeating it. I do find it interesting, because after throwing money around like a drunken sailor on shore leave for several years, Pegula has seemingly calmed down with that sort of thing.

Then there are the complaints of the building not being well maintained etc. The whole thing is part of a greater theory lately, at least by some, that Pegula is more of a cost-conscious owner than he initially suggested he would be.

He paid a lot of people NOT to work for him in Buffalo for several years there, for both teams. He seems to have calmed with that now.

There is also the idea that the freedom of his spending is directly proportional to the price of natural gas.
