Entire organization is a complete joke.
Okay maybe it's just me ✋ but, I feel like Lindy is just either being told to not be more straight up with the media/fans, and/or he's just really confused and dosen't know what to make of this whole situation. He just looks so discouraged at these conferences now.
HOW DO YOU LIGHT A FIRE UNDER THIS TEAM? AREN'T THEY COACHABLE? REALLY UGLY!!
FIRE KEVYN ADAMS
When all else fails, blame the officiating! 😂
This team is falling like the Niagara Falls
Sabres farewell tour
So I guess that little pep talk from Pegula sure did the trick, eh? 😂 They all heard that their jobs were safe and so they stopped trying entirely! 🌴
"Where is Terry?"
Killing an amazing fan base who would do anything for their sports teams. Fans deserve more than GMKA and his 🌴 words. Address US.
No one is coming to save you. No big trades are being made. The only way out is to go through it together. Fight for yourself. Fight for one another.
A bunch of individuals that are borderline NHL bottom players with a few exceptions. They are still immature and they cannot meet or exceed the energy and fight of most opponents. That's immaturity and a lack of FIGHT FIGHT FIGHT. Winners rise to the challenge. These are not winners.
Yeah…this didn't work out. Should've stayed away…should just quit so we dont have to fire him
I’m thankful for once the players told the owner to F himself as opposed to just the fans, as they are 44-50-8 at home since 2022, and fans didn’t have to pay to see that effort. Bringing Ruff back to humiliate him is the worst thing we’ve ever done. Good luck next home game with 18,000 leaf fans. My lord.
I’ll add MANY of those home losses are complete romps coming at the hands of the worst teams in hockey. I’ve seen this team give up 10 goals on kids day.
50 more exhibition games to go.
Another fun stat. Adams has been GM for 4 seasons and 32 games. The apex of his tenure is missing the playoffs at 91 points and they’re back in dead last. There is no other organization in sports where this guy would have the job right now. His presence makes us a joke.
Where's players like Rayzor , Kaleta , Peters and big John Scott for Lindy to put out there to change momentum need GMKA to answer
Poor defence, poor goaltending, poor officiating. The perfect storm.
Feel so bad for this guy. They really ruined Lindy for us.
I say this with all love snd respect for Lindy but at this point, nobody should attend a game until personnel changes are made
Thank you Poogoola for motivating the troops in Montreal. Very effective owner…look at what you have accomplished with the Sabres. Stick with the Bills and sell the Sabres to someone who "really cares."
That is what you get for giving young players oodles of money just for having one good season. While they can't back check, check and stop watching the puck in your own zone. That is basic hockey
There's nothing brilliant about Lindy's statement. The talent is there. The team play, and devotion to winning isn't. That's the coach. A bunch of good ones just were fired. Lindy isn't it, but it's what Terry wanted, and KA wasn't about to say no.
Prepare to be fired Lindy…
They don't hate losing…
… Shoresy
Step #1 Fire Adams , Step #2 Pegula call Bowman ( he lives down the block ) is respected in league , and is no puppet . Step #3 Take Kim and your Daughter away on Yacht , heck go to London(UK) and play tennis , anything . Step #4 Let true hockey people run things while continually repeating step #3!
No goals, no paycheck. Done.
There is no up ice when you can’t win s puck battle on the boards. So soft it take too much time. They you have to dump and change. Every team knows but the Sabres
Unfortunately the coach and GM have to go if they don't turn it around in the next 2-4 games
Hire Bruce Boudreau
Not anyone else
Bruce can turn teams around quick
Team full of 24 yr old millionaires. Disgraceful… At the end of the day owen power knows hes making 8million $ …. They dont care man
Need a tough coach like John Tortorella to whip these kids into shape, but I don't know if Philly will let him go.
