WTF with Buffalo?

[BB79]

They are 35-37-6
They had streaks of 0-10-3 ( US thxgvg-xmas) and 0-5-1( in march)

The year that sucked the most was 22-23, they had an 8 game losing streak in November but finished the season with a 42-33-7 record. They also sucked at home that year but were a great road team (25-13-3)...they ended up missing the playoffs by 1 point.

The Sabres haven’t been the same since Dallas beat them in the cup.
Same goes for Vancouver losing to Boston.

No one knows. The owner doesn't trust any veteran hockey guy since he felt burned by Hockey Canada for Tim Murray and Jason Botterill recommendations, so just sitting here, it feels despite the failures, Adams is GM for life.

The coach is harder to peg down. Ruff probably has the job as long as he wants it, but only signed a 2 year deal.

Honestly, if we replace coach/GM, it would either be in-house (Karmanos GM, Seth Appert coach), or some crazy out-of-left-field Sabres alum (Pat Kaleta GM, Andrew Peters HC).

Seth Appert was the Amerks coach last year, with a bad pp; moved up to buf, who still has a bad pp, and the Amerks got better. So his rise in the org is hard to explain.

Kaleta as the GM would be one of the most hilarious things in sports

No. It began with Lucic elbowed Ryan Miller in open ice and the team did NOTHING about it. The team was never the same since then.
