The Sabres are running out of time
It didn’t take long for the Buffalo Sabres to once again find themselves in troubled waters. Tage Thompson and Rasmus Dahlin are clearly frustrated with Buffalo’s slow start to the season and there’s buzz around whether they could be the next Sabres stars on the way out.
Can this thing still be saved?

Bring Tage to Chicago! 🥰
TT for TT+
You guys are off some stuff. Ruff not getting fired. 100% will be GM Kevyn Adams first. Its already being called for in the arena. Ruff wasnt allowed to bring in any of his own coaching staff. If they were going to do this i wouldve them earher just keep Don Granato.
This all started in 2010 when Pegula stated," I will go all out in getting the Sabres to win 'Cups." He then proceeds to hire 6 coaches with little or no experience (not including Ruff) and 3 GM's with NO experience.
Jack Eichel neck surgery: ❌
Josh Norris 3 surgeries: ✅
It's heartbreaking being a Sabres fan. Kevyn Adam's is the biggest issue outside of Pegula. Buffalo loves hockey and deserves better.
Tage isn't missing any point. This is a hockey game, time to grow up and move on and seriously try and win next game. Tage is staying positive like a good player should be and try to motivate his teammates to look through it and just use these losses as motivation to just do better next time. I'm not worried about Tage, it's everyone else I'm worried about because now the whole team feels embarrassed since we are all shitting on them currently. Buffalo the only way we can win is showing our team pride and focus our attention in Lindy, Appert and Adams. Also I need to know why our team isn't getting trained on how to properly avoid injuries and adapt new play styles after returning. Don't make your players continue to play a specific way just to fulfill your old school ways Lindy! If something ain't working, either move them around in the lineup or tell Adams to get a trade ready
Norris is done…Period, That injury is clearly ending his career. Wonder if that Medical advisory Team is the same one that bitch slapped Eichel? If yes… They need to be FIRED along with Lindy and Adams.
They need a coach that coaches today's hockey.
As a Sabres fan, I’ve seen enough to know that firing Lindy is not the answer. The problems that plague the Sabres preclude Lindy, precluded Granato, even Phil Housley and Ralph Krueger. I’m not saying these guys are fantastic coaches. The roster is not good enough. Not balanced enough. Too many young players Adams is HOPING will step up and prove themselves to be players they have no historical precedent of showing they can be. Bad contracts – Power at $8M x8 , Samuelson at $4M x7, Greenway at $3.5M, Norris at $7.95Mx5….thats $23.45M in cap space spent on a soft overrated defenseman in Power, a defenseman who is always hurt in Samuelson, a forward who is always hurt in Norris and another forward who is always hurt in Greenway.
How many talented players have to come and go through this organization before the guy building the team finally surrounds them with quality veterans?
There’s nothing wrong with drafting guys like Quinn, Kulich, Benson, etc…but it’s a problem when you are putting them in a position to be players they aren’t yet. They need time to develop. Realistically, Quinn and Kulich should be making their NHL debuts this season. They should have been in the AHL up until now but they have so many NHL games already played building bad habits that they are behind in their development.
It’s just such a shame because this could be fixed, but ownership clearly doesn’t have any interest in going through another General Manager search or actually empowering someone to come in and make the moves as they see fit.
Look at the bills they went 20 years without winning and McDermott came in and he said I know I wasn’t here obviously but I own that that’s us. That’s this team. We are shouldering 20 years of lousy football and I’m here to turn it around the Sabres run from it I won’t only been here two years. Tage is the biggest one Mr. Cant be negative. Mr. can’t be accountable 6 foot seven and disappears. I think what makes it extremely irritable as their well paid. They rushed to pay and now you’re stuck with them and they’re not who you thought they were as people they just want to be good time buddies not accountable for anything I don’t hold you accountable you won’t hold me accountable. We only play on one end of the ice after the game. I say I gotta be better or we need to be better and then I go home repeat.
Everything going on with this team is 100% on Kevyn Adams
I think you can sell tage and dahlin on ONE more year by hiring an actual NHL front office, and a coach once again thats ALLOWED TO PICK HIS OWN ASSISTANTS.
I know the sabres PR line of "Lindy was fine just keeping the same assistants left over from Krueger (the hockey equivilant to a snakeoil salesman)." Really? Because some of his staff in jersey had been with him since his first go around with the sabres. He didnt want to bring those people? Im calling bullshit.
It was a stupid PR line so that Pegula didnt have to pay more coaches to not work for the team. Oh look, the bottom of the league special teams coaches still have the special teams in the bottom of the league! who couldve guessed?! Completely unforseeable!
Adam's has to go. He is a amazing talker he speaks well but other then that he has no idea. Its like he is trying to build a team from the early 2000's. Wtf we have a damn straight goon in 2025 thats all he is for is bs
You know what I like what Thompson is saying. Nothing he said was incorrect and he was respectful enough. That said I'm out on this team but I respect him for that
As a sabre fan lemme give you the deep. The team plays with no jam bc there’s no culture. There’s no culture bc every last player knows the GM as well as the assistant coaches (who are STILL HERE FROM 2 HCs AGO), should not have their jobs. Zero accountability from ownership, who hasn’t spoken to fans in over 5 years. They announced via leak that this gm was staying, and ticket prices have fallen to 11 bucks.
So you see business decisions from numerous players on a nightly basis and it leads to Ls. Tage isn’t going into the paint when he knows nobody has his back if he gets murdered. Owen power isn’t getting the first scratch ever on his face for this team.
Alex Tuch bleeds blue and gold and HE won’t even resign here. And tage and Dahlin are right behind him. We’re the worst franchise in pro sports. At least guys will sign to play for the New York jets. NO ONE who has a choice will come here.
It's 3 games on top of 14 YEARS. It's unacceptable
2 goals in three games then 8 goals in one game hahah it's gonna be a wild year
I feel sorry for Lindy ruff.
3:18 Dahlin swearing in a postgame media availability is an indication of just how frustrating it has become to play for the Sabres.
