I'm embarrassed by my lack of posting this season
I have to try harder, be better, and really look for something to say

I’ve thought long and hard about my post. Deleted a huge multi paragraph contribution that rivals some novels some posters type.
But came up with ....

Everyone in this room needs to be better. Obviously that starts with me, but it also starts obviously with everybody. Obviously nobody is happy with where we are as a team of fans. We just need to keep showing up every day and putting in the work and being accountable, and that's what we're all here for, and that's what we need to keep doing, and obviously that's what hasn't worked so far, and that's how we're gonna turn it around.
I realize it takes extra time,
But we should write our posts in rhyme,
So when we dump on Nate Beaulieu,
We stop to choose a word or two.
And all of us could joke all day,
About the verbal skills of poor Rob Ray,
Or how the play of Jordan Nolan,
Induces spasms in my colon.
I know it takes an act of will,
To not just type out, “@#*% you, Phil!”,
But Buffaloed’s completely right,
Let’s bring our A game every night.

Not a bad first few posts from the Sabres posters.
It's a situation where... change needs to be made. We need to dig deep and give 110%. We've got to be better. Everyone has to look in the mirror and ask themselves, "Why am I typing while looking in a mirror? Do I have a problem with device usage? Is this thing on?"
I know what I haven't given out enough infractions and I need to do better. I've taken the easy way, using Safari on my phone and instead of struggling to find the infraction buttons, deleting. I will be better.

I might get my pee pee slapped for saying this but maybe instead of endlessly watching film some posters should grab a cup of coffee and take time to talk to other posters.

I click "like" way too many times, when a written response would be so much better.........
We, as veteran posters, have really stepped up so far in this thread, and as I check for the fortieth time today, I see the unconfirmed news that Will Borgen has signed. Coincidence? I think not. When we work together and do what the coaches tell us, we can accomplish anything!

It's a bit frustrating for myself to get that question from people because it's a pretty simple answer to be honest with you: I'm posting because I'm a poster. It's kind of ridiculous for somebody to think the fact that we're out of the playoffs and we don't have an opportunity to really do anything with our season that I would just pack my year in. It's not who I am as a person. It's not who I've ever been and not who I am as a poster. At the end of the day, I love to post. Whether we're in first place or last place in the league, it doesn't matter to me. I like to put my keyboard warrior equipment on, go out there, post about hockey. That's why I'm posting. I love to post. I have a lot of fun doing it. It's what I look most forward to in my day. There's not really quite a feeling like it. I enjoy it every day. I'm a shitposter. I want to be out there shitposting. I want to post, so that's why I'm posting. I think there should be a lot more questions asked if I decided I did want to pack it in and end my posting because I had an ankle injury grown completely weary of watching my team play garbage hockey. That's all part of us just building a culture around here. We should all want to be posting in here every night, and I think that's important.
Well, I just posted "Willb Orgen" in the Will Borgen thread. However, instead of self-flagellating, I will merely confirm that, no, I cannot do any better than that.

I've been at 4 games this year and we lost them all. I have to face the fact that my cheering just wasn't good enough. I need to be better and show more character and grit by pummeling some drunk obnoxious rags fan into a coma after they start a problem with me. I can't just be a passenger anymore, I've got to pull my weight.

When I was picked 2nd overall back in the 2002 HF message board draft, I thought my elegant prose and trenchant whit would be sufficient to effortlessly carry me through endless hockey discussions. Alas, my failure to grasp the basic rules of hockey, and my inability to name a single NHL player, was quickly exposed by other more experienced posters, and it became increasingly harder to shake the "bust" label.
Undeterred, I started to stay after a thread was relegated to the second page and work with Chainshot on the fundamentals ("no slip, that's a winger, not a zamboni, etc."). Eventually I memorized the name of every player on the roster, and even the names of a couple players on the rosters of other teams. Now my posts have exceeded 5 figures and my likes are way, way up. So to all you posters who think you have nothing to say or who think your opinion doesn't matter -- well, you're probably right. So please shut up and let the professionals handle the discussion while you lurk anonymously, dreaming of message board glory.

thanks tips
Well, all I'm saying is that I want to look back and say that I was the best poster I could be while I was stuck in this place. Liked as many posts as I could while I was stuck in this place. Quoted as hard as I could while I was stuck in this place. Typedasmanyposts asIcouldwhileIwasstcuckinthisplace.
and y'know that's just what I love about these Sabres, man. I get older, they stay the same.

I think I just need to spend a few games watching threads from up in the box. This could really help me see the larger picture of what we are trying to do here and how the system can work as a whole.
