Only 3 games? Yeah but only 2 damn goals. And there is the talk about extending Tuch. Why? What has he done to actually help them get better? It was just announced there is a plan to put 400 Million into the arena, that is about 3.2 times what it cost to build. They are more concerned about making the arena more fancy than scoring more goals than the other teams.
Sorry Sabres but Someone has to finish last…
Being an afternoon Monday game where there many fans even there? And yes I know it was Columbus day I had to work so I was not there.
Elliot friedman basically said that if buffalo doesnt have big improvements both thompson and dahlin are leaving.
Terry gotta sell the team. And all these chants and stuff while absolutely justified, Terry doesnt care. All he cares about is the Bills and i bet most of the money made off the Sabres goes to the Bills,
And its incredible sad.
And as long as the Sabres make the league money then the league wont force him to sell the team.
As for firing Adams, i really dont think it does any good because they will just hire the next Kevyn Adams,
The only way to fix this is new ownership,
I want Shannon to coach for team Italy cause they will have a better chance but WE DON'T GET WHAT WE WANT AM I RIGHT STAMMER?đź«©
American here,
How the hell has stamkos never been on a team Canada team??!
Id sooner take ROR over Stamkos for the Olympics
Id really like to hear your take on the sharks first 2 games (3 after tonight) and the fact they played 59 mins basiclly in both games but lost both. I'm also seeing A LOT of panic within the fan base because of it
The owners don't allow the GM to GM in Buffalo, at this point, the rumors that say Buffalo's owners review every single move the GM makes have to be true. The owner only cares about the Bills, they need to sell. Fire Pegula
Management above Adams? Ha. Hahahahaha.
The Mammoth have done well, holding opponents to 2 goals or less, but the offense is juat not in gear. Wirh the talent they have, and the waybthey scored in the pre-season, they need to kick it up.
Honestly Brendan Shanahan should get the job as president of hockey ops for the Sabers. You can talk about his failures at the end in Toronto but he brought that team back from the dead when he first got their.
Gorton and Hughes have done a great job for the Habs in just a few short years. Yeah, they've made a few moves that haven't quite turned out the way the wanted them to, but over all they've done a great job. And so has the scouting staff they hired. Lapointe and Bobrov. Great job
Then again, maybe out expectations have been tainted by the Bergeron and Houle eras.
I don't remember the GM making costly turnovers or playing ole defense, maybe the players need to own their shortcomings and stop be comfortable losing. If ruff does end up taking the fall
The team might end up with torts!!
Let's make Elliott Friedman GM for sabres. He thinks he has all the answers
If it's any consolation for Sabres fans, I was at the OTT-BUF playoff game in 2006 where Pominville won the series with a shorty in OT after a lackluster defensive play by Alfredsson. Apparently it was the first time in NHL history that a series had been decided by a shorthanded goal in overtime. That was painful but that Sabres team was dam good and fun to watch.
As for the panic in Vancouver I totally agree Shannon It's an 82 game season If this were the NFL and we were playing a 17 game season I would be panicking if they had the record they do after three games but with 82 games I mean they have another 79 games to pick their socks up and get things in gear and moving in a better direction.
3 out of 17 is 17%, 3 out of 82 Is 3%
I like it how the coach calls out Nylander but didn't say anything about Matthews…
Typical Canucks. I fully expect them to take on bad contracts and trade their 1st round to try and make playoffs and fail.
The problem with the Sabres breaks down to 4 things: Ownership, Management, and Ownership, and Management.
Imagine bragging about gaining 13 pounds of muscle, yet “still” being absolutely useless. 🤦🏻‍♂️
So when does Canucks panic? What's the threshold? Canucks are paying for EP40 being a dud.
Buffalo is a cursed city.
They never threw sweaters on the ice in AZ and they lost their team. Just saying.
As a Minnesota twins fan I can sympathize. Our owners will not put a competitive team out there for the fans. They just use the team for leins on loans. Sounds like buffalo is in the same type of situation. Owners who are incompetent or don't care. Shame. League should just yank their teams and give them to a real owner who wants to win.
I am an accountant. Curious if the escrow operates on time-value of money, so its adjusted for inflation. Or does it work like a massive group pension?
I'll be the new gm for buffalo if they'd like. And honestly I'd probably do better than what they've had so far.
Fire Adams, promote Lindy and make Appert head coach.
Next Lindy greatly expands the scouting department and builds from there.
Buffalo to relocate to Southern Ontario in a Decade
Jim Benning for Buffalo GM
Shannon I do disagree with one thing you said. Buffalo IS entertaining to watch for all 31 other fanbases.
NHL needs to scrap back to backs as I'm sure thats a BIG factor for injuries; would bet anything (with our NHL gambling partners) that injuries would drop 25% with no back to backs.
adams absolutely deserves to be fired, but the main problem is the pegulas don't give a shit about the hockey team they own. they never spend near the cap. buffalo will keep failing until someone in management or ownership gives a shit.
The NHL just loves giving the Panthers a cupcake schedule, to start the season. A bunch of lesser weight opponents. What ever happened to giving a team that won the title(s) a tougher schedule?
How about having them face Dallas, Vegas, Colorado, Carolina, early? Joke!
Man, Carolina needs to tack on a couple more years to Shayne Gostibehere's contract. He should be making $6 mil a year, for how good he makes the 'Canes.
Sabres fans are chanting fire adams after 3 games.
Not even an Islanders fan and I want Schaefer to do well just to spite the haters lmao
Fire Kevyn Adams and make Terry Pegula the new GM!
U say its 3 games for the canucks…. but its actually not, its been 1 season of turmoil and drama and everything that happened but continously repeating itself. Its definately insanity. Notables include (low shot count, being constantly outplayed, dump and chase, no one shows up to games except 1 or 2 players, superstars (hughes/petey) non existent, goalies (demko/lankinen) left to dry and defend themselves and canucks can't score. That was supposed to change this season, there's a new coach, new system, new leadership group , new mentality and wanting revenge and drive.. but coming out flat.. the only time they came out was period 3 vs flames because flames were tired from a b2b. Before anyone saids "oh its a new coach and system" eh no.. thats why you have preseason , thats why you ahve camp to work out the damn kinks, not waiting till when it actually matter to work it out.. and its not like foote came in mid effing season, he came in ages ago, he had time, so no.. .this is why its panic, because not only did they not resolve any of the pass stuff from last season, they look significantly worst… if you don't see that, maybe check your eyesight.
Sabres fan here…or more correctly, FORMER fan. As others here have stated, I no longer follow the team. But (are you listening Mr. Commissioner?), the trickle down effect is that I have pretty much stopped following the NHL in general. Without a team in the running, I have little interest in watching two random teams play. Sure, if there is a Toronto/MontrĂ©al match up on HNIC, I'll tune that in. Otherwise, not so much ESPECIALLY on the US channels as their coverage is atrocious. I can't help but think that there are more (former) Sabres fans like me who have just walked away from the sport. Maybe this is why the league constantly harps on "growing the game" – it's to replace fed-up former fans.
Sabres chants shouldn’t be Fire Adam’s, more like Fire Pegulas!
Just retract theSabres at this point. Nobody wants to go there, nobody wants to be there. This is a worse looks more on the league than what the Coyotes were doing. NHL is a business that has to thrive if the markets are doing well at the same time. In this case Buffalo is a small media and metro area market. With the team being an absolute train wreck for a decade and a half who’s to say that it isn’t good for business anymore?
Terry is the problem. Hes a shitty owner. Worse owner in sabres history
Habs fan here, Just wanted to say, I've been watching hockey since the 1989 stanley cup finals, And this is the best management group we've had since the Serge Savard Era. Amazing job from Gorton and Hugues all across the board : Contracts, UFAs, RFAs, Draft, Media relations, Fan relations, These men make very few mistakes and understand the market very well. I also have to admit, hiring Marty as head coach was a gutsy move but I wouldn't have it any other way. Things are FINALLY looking up in Montreal.
Interesting you didn’t include the rangers having been shut out 3 games at home this season, well 2 I believe before the recording of this video
and the rangers are in free fall
Kevyn Adams should be fired now. Lindy Ruff I say he stays the season the reason being is no coach is going to be able to turn around this disastrous roster that Adams has put together.
Stamkos if he has 10 pts more than at the Five Nations pause last year would be warranted, you know there were guys who were messed up with injuries and even alcohol problems in the best ever team to be put on ice that didn't have Gretzky in it, the 2002 Team Canada hockey team, and Eric Lindros, Theo Fleury and even Shane "I hate French Canadians" Doan" participated instead of a more deserving Quebec based player at the time being much better than Shane Doan (there was a bucket load then, but I'll just name one out of a hat, Alex Tanguay, talk about a forgotten AAA player, only 'cuz he was shadowed by the other superstars in the Avs, but that one season he played he Montreal, he finished in the top 3 points wise along Kovalev and I think Plekanec (it was a Koivu is injured most of the year type of season, if I recall well, I might not).
Buffalo is a dog💩franchise! 0 🏆🤓 Starsforever❤
