i've been saying ever since they traded Peterka, this team is missing 4 top 6 forwards. You cannot win in the NHL with only 2 guys on your roster who are top 6 forwards. Period. And going into the season expecting a career 3rd line center like Norris with a track record of injuries, to be a no.1 center was madness. This team is fundamentally flawed. and what's worse is lets say the sabres trade some of their blueline for top 6 forwards, i still don't think they even have a functional 3rd or 4th line EVEN WITH trading only defense talent… meaning even with 4 more good forwards the guys they have on the roster on the frontline aren't good enough to play lines 3 or 4 in the nhl either.
This team is just structurally wrong. I cannot fathom why Kevyn Addams thought building the leagues best blueline would be the key to getting into the playoffs for this mess of a roster. I mean it's comical when you look at it. I'd take the sabres blueline over the two teams who made the cup finals last year. yet this team isn't in the class of either of those teams.
Sabres are like the Blackhawks in the late 90s and 2000s Just waiting for the owner to die so they can get someone in charge who wants to put a good team on the ice
As an Oilers fan who went through the Decade of Darkness, I truly feel for Sabres fans. That was a long enough wait. To almost go 2 decades without playoffs is lunacy. To be abandoned by your star franchise player is brutal. This goes beyond what is happening in the locker room and the coaches. This is an interfering ownership thing. It’s the only thing that makes sense.
14 years ago I was 18 and in grade 12. Since then, I’ve gotten married, bought a house, had two kids, been divorced… I’ve been a dad for 8 years. Crazy
I live in Buffalo, can confirm. Kevyn Adams is a doormat for all the other GM's in the league. He fucking sucks and for some reason Terry believes in him
Even if those few years ago when we missed by a point, even IF we somehow slipped in over Florida and then got swept, at least we'd have something to cling to. The playoffs that year probably wouldn't have been as good if we made it over Florida, but still. We couldn't make it during the Covid year when like 20 something teams made it. The League could give us a handicap of starting the season with 20 points, and we'd probably have to usual November collapse of going 0-10-3 and still miss the playoffs by 12 points. It just seems like any factor by design, by man, by God, or by nature, this team cannot see the postseason.
The Atlanta Thrashers were still a team the last time the Sabres made the playoffs. The jerseys still had the little Reebok vector logo on the back of the collar. Let that sink in.

I use being a sabres fan as a green flag on dating apps. That way they know i'm not quitter
after seeing jack eichel talk about resigning in vegas, i couldnt help but think of where buffalo is now compared to edmonton

What team is missing their second defensive pairing
If your crying about your team suking. You have to realize youre in Buffalo. 😂
Dude had a Lindy Ruff jersey on and somehow believed the team might be good? That’s on him.
Sabres got goalied

I was 24 when they last made it
"At least we got the Bills"

He sounds like the guy who was arguing with his brother about the wicked witch of the West 😂
Yes, your closing statement is what I think. Pegula doesn’t give a rats ass for making the Sabres good because he has the bills who are good.
Hey man the blues got spanked 5-zip to minny. At least it wasnt the home opener 😂

That was the very definition of 'overreacting'.
How is Lindy Ruff still employed?
Upper body injury.
He’s going viral because he’s making a great point
The sabres are helpless
Face off injury so def upper body. Not the first time for Norris
Sabres fans: You will never win with Lindy Ruff as your head coach.

A grown man caring that much about a group 20 year olds skating around on ice and putting a frozen piece of rubber in a net is pathetic.
